Opening Range Breakout Training Course
The first 30 minutes set the day. Trade the break that defines it.
The Opening Range Breakout is one of the highest-win-rate day trading setups when you respect the rules. Mark the range, wait for the break with volume, trade the direction. This course drills the full workflow including the filters that keep you out of choppy open days.
The 5-level curriculum
Level 36
Defining the opening range
15-min vs 30-min ORB — which to use and why.
Level 37
Breakout entries
Enter on clean closes beyond the range, not on wicks.
Level 38
Volume confirmation
ORBs on low volume are traps. Require 1.5x+ average.
Level 39
News-day filters
Skip ORBs on FOMC/CPI — the range breaks multiple times.
Level 40
Target and stop discipline
Measured-move targets, opposite-range stops, mechanical exits.
Frequently asked questions
Does ORB work on forex?
Yes — use the London open (3 AM ET) or New York open. Asian open is less directional.
Is ORB good for beginners?
Yes. The rules are rigid, the edge is well-documented, and the time window is fixed — low decision load.
