Define the Range.
Trade the Break.

The Opening Range Breakout is one of the most well-studied intraday strategies in futures trading. The ORB module automates the entire process — from range identification to signal generation to full bracket execution.

Step 01
Define

Configure your opening range window — first 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or any custom time window. The module monitors price during your defined period and automatically locks the session's range high and range low.

Step 02
Detect

Once the range is established, the module watches for a breakout — a buy signal on a confirmed break above the range high, or a sell signal on a break below the range low. No manual monitoring. The module handles the detection in real time.

Step 03
Execute

When the signal fires, EdgeMax takes over — bracket placement, stop management, up to 4 targets, full trail automation. Your existing EdgeMax bracket configuration applies. The ORB module generates the signal; EdgeMax provides the execution infrastructure.

Why Opening
Range Breakout
Works.

The opening range captures the initial price discovery period of a trading session — the time when institutional orders, overnight positioning, and fresh capital establish the session's first equilibrium zone.

When price breaks out of this zone with conviction, it often signals the dominant directional bias for the session. The ORB strategy captures that transition from consolidation to directional movement.

This isn't a guaranteed outcome — false breakouts happen, especially in low-volatility or choppy sessions. The ORB module gives you the automation to execute the strategy consistently, but setting realistic expectations around win rate and using appropriate position sizing is essential.

What You Configure
01 Range window duration — how long to monitor price after your session open (5, 15, 30, or custom minutes)
02 Breakout thresholds — how far beyond the range boundary price must move to confirm the breakout
03 Direction filter — trade both long and short breakouts, or restrict to one direction based on your session bias
04 Bracket configuration — stop distance, target levels, trail parameters (uses your existing EdgeMax bracket setup)
05 Session timing — which session to apply the range window to (US open, London open, or custom start time)

Full EdgeMax
Integration.

The ORB module isn't a standalone tool — it plugs directly into EdgeMax's execution engine and inherits every platform capability.

Full Bracket Management

ORB signals use the same bracket system as every other EdgeMax module — up to 4 independent targets, each with its own quantity, target distance, and stop. Scale out as price extends beyond the range.

Trail Stop Automation

All four trail configurations apply — B/Even, Tr. 50%, Tr. Hi-Lo, and custom trails. Once the breakout fires and a position is open, trail management protects profits automatically as price extends.

Long / Short Control

Use EdgeMax's directional toggles to restrict the ORB module to long-only or short-only breakouts for any session. Bias your direction based on higher-timeframe analysis without changing the module configuration.

Command Center Compatible

Monitor and control the ORB module remotely via Command Center Mobile. Enable or disable the module, close positions, and check session status from your phone — same remote control as every other EdgeMax module.

Honest expectation: The ORB strategy produces its best results in sessions with a clear directional move out of the open. In choppy, range-bound sessions, false breakouts are common. Like any signal module, the ORB module is a tool — your results depend on the instruments, sessions, and parameters you choose. Test in simulation first.
