15-Minute ORB Strategy Overview
The strategy uses the high and low (including wicks) of the first 15-minute candle after the market opens (e.g., NYSE, London, China markets) to define support and resistance (the "ORB").
This can be applied to stocks, futures, forex, and other instruments; effectiveness is strongest during major market opens.
Once the range is set, traders look for a breakout above or below this range for trade entries.
On choppy days, price may stay within the ORB for several candles (Max's "rule of thumb" is 6-7 candles inside the range); this signals either a late-day move or that the day will remain choppy, favoring range trading.
How to Apply the Strategy
For confirmation, look for breaks of the ORB range and assess whether new highs or lows are established.
On trend days, a clear break leads to sustained trades; on choppy days, shorting at the top or longing at the bottom of the ORB may be preferred.
Scalpers should use lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute chart) to capture quicker moves, while day traders can remain on the 15-minute chart.
Exiting trades on invalidation: If price reverses and makes a lower low on an uptrend (or vice versa), the initial trade bias is invalidated and should be exited.
