my objective with today's video is simple you're going to learn how to trade the orb you're going to become confident in trading the orb and you're going to learn a strategy that makes me thousands of dollars a day made me over $3,000 this morning of filming this video and you're going to learn the most simple way to apply price action to the opening range breakout strategy now first and foremost I'm going to prove to you that this works out in one way or another nearly every single day but before that let's make sure you have a solid comprehension of what exactly we want to look for and how to apply volume in price to this strategy now what is the orb the opening range breakout can be described as mapping the first 15 minutes of price action and the highs and lows so let's go ahead here and map out the first three 5minute candles which is what I always want to use for reference and add a wick to the high into the low now for my particular trading strategy it is very rare that I take a trade within the first 15 minutes I always want to let the first 15 minutes of price action play out to see where Trend wants to head to let impatient buyers and sellers get their orders out and for myself to relax into the market and take my first trade with confidence now when we map these out you always want to map the wick high of the first 15-minute High in the wick low of the first 15 minute low now let's get some facts straight here too before we go into actual strategy and before I show you multiple times this has worked out for me in the past two weeks of trading first and foremost with the orb right number one we wait the first 15 minutes let me put this back on the screen for you we wait the first 15 minutes let's put it down here number two we always want to see a f minute candle close above or below now this is my personal edge here in my personal strategy a lot of people don't trade it this way I've found a lot of success doing it so what this means is if I want to take a trend entry to the upside or downside trading the 15-minute orbb I want to see first and foremost a 5 minute close above if we're going to the upside so like this 5 minute close above this High here or vice versa I want to see a 15minute close or a 5 minute close excuse me below this low here if we're going to take this trade to the downside now there's a reason for this yes you will you will miss the trade on occasion you'll miss a few low probability setups in continuation down or up but what this has done has improved my win rate dramatically and giving me more confidence that if I take the trade I'll have my risk man aged and I'll have a higher percentage of winning the trade and making money now after we get this 5 minute close I then want to always have excuse me I then want to always have my one minute chart pulled up now the reason why and I'll show you this in real in real action no hindsight real trades that I took the reason why I want to have the one minute chart pulled up is because it gives me some insight to what's happening inside these five minute candles so if we have this 5minute candle closed the next few one minute candles may look like this you may see a candle right here and then you may see a candle like this and when we retest say this to the downside this 15-minute low I typically want to see Us's come back retest this potentially make a wick like this and on this next Candle on the next candle this is where I want to enter my position I want to fail that enter my position somewhere in here and I want to keep my stop Above This Wick or if you're want to have it a little tighter above this candle high this body high excuse me so I never just want to buy blindly When We Touch a level yes you'll hit more setups that way but your accur accuracy will go significantly down and as a Trader of 9 years I care about my accuracy a lot I care about my win rate and my R multiple a lot I want to win trades I want to make money I want to keep that money I want to keep my discipline and my psychology at the highest level it can be cuz that's what it takes to execute now we know we have our one minute chart pulled up we want to wait for the 5 minute candle close above or below now something else that helps me confirm this trend move and this is Again part of my vpa system is I always want to see volume confirm let me move that so you can see that as well I always want to see volume confirm now what that means and I'll show you in real time is on this aggressive Trend setting candle down or up I would like to see volume confirm say the previous candle right here looks like this for volume I want to see our Trend setting candle with aggressive selling volume if it's to the downside or aggressive buying volume if it's to the upside cuz what this means is we have a lot of Market participants there and if we had a lot of volume there's a good chance there's some unfilled orders left in here so when we come back up and retest those unfilled orders will start hitting and we'll get that continuation in the direction that we want to see that's the whole point of this strategy right we set the trend we come back and retest the unfilled orders and we get continuation in the trend that we want to see in a good A+ entry we don't chase the downside we don't chase the upside you'll find yourself getting burned over and over and over if you're always chasing upside and downside you want to have A+ entries you want to have A+ setups and you want to execute on those every single time now even today for example we're going to go back over a few examples that I traded we can see this working out to a t now in today's trade this is a trade that I called live inside team bow we can see here we set our 15-minute low and our 15-minute High here now we come down we move on down we make lower high lower high now this one I traded actually a little differently this is more of an advanced concept so we're going to start off Advanced and then I have some more beginner examples for you throughout this video so today we broke this low but no 5minute close here I missed this we finally get a 5 minute close here right but as we're watching this let me go ahead and pull this pull this up for you too so you can you can see this in real time what we saw we also see a breakout Happening Here on the five minute chart we'll see how that plays out throughout this video let's go one minute chart here and we pull this up QQQ pulled up here apologies it's taking a second QQQ pulled up here and then QQQ pulled up here okay so we see this break down right here right we see has closed below now we retest back up once I don't take this setup why do I not take this particular first time setup because we have volume increasing and because we tested it but but we haven't shown that we for sure right that my system is firing that we want to keep moving back down now I have no risk parameters here right I have no risk parameters here so I wait until we get an aggressive move up we can see on this move right here we had lowering volume let move that over we had lowering volume right here right we had what equal volume but for this particular candle that you can see excuse me right here we didn't have a lot of buying volume for how big this candle was so on this I got mixed up for a second on this particular move up I wait for this to fail we come back down and when we set this risk parameter right here at this 47.3 I enter the shorts around here at 46.3 area 46.6 this is where I call out the trade I set my stop on this particular trade oops I set my stop on this particular trade above 456 47.3 right here and my target here is low of day and then pre-market low now as you can see here we get that aggressive move up but it doesn't have supporting volume right we set our risk parameters right here so we Define our risk before we take the trade and then we let it ride down that is what I look for that's a little more advanced concept cuz it wasn't as cut and dry as come down retest move down but if I don't like the first one or two retests I'll wait for a a specific point where I can Define my risk where volume confirms for me where I can take the trade have my risk set up prior and then get the move down we also had this impulse candle here this fair value Gap mixed with a daily or intraday support right here we came up retested as you can clearly see here and moved down so with all of those different factors and confirmations coming in it was a no-brainer to take this trade and I held it well I held my last contract on this trade if you were in team Bowl you heard this basically to low a day I milked this trade to a tea followed my plan and scaled out along the way down that's why I like to trim some people you you see don't trim their trades they're all in or all out I personally love trimming set setting stops to break even and allowing the rest to run that allows me to capture the big move on the trades that I take now let's go to some other examples that I find a little simpler to understand a little simpler to read is as soon as yesterday you look at this 15minute orb here now first and foremost what do we do every single time we Mark the 15-minute low and then we Mark the 15minute high now what do we notice about this particular setup we come up a few times our volume is decreasing but what we can see is we retest up here we come down we can solid on this particular trade this is another kind of advanced strategy but if you take this and you're hesitant around this area what you can do is you can try the retest down you keep your stop below the the 5 minute uh Trend setting candle that we set the 15-minute high on so we keep our stop below here in this case it' be five or uh 470 on QQQ 4697 this entry here would be around $471 so about a dollar of risk meaning you enter here you use less size but on this particular trade if you have $11 of risk you need at least $2 worth of upside so if your risk is defined here it's a $130 or so you need at least $2 270 worth of upside to make this trade worth it at a minimum at a minimum you need like 270 at a minimum I want you trading at least two R right ideally I'd like you at three R but 2 R if you keep your win rate high and if you follow this strategy you'll be all right so again we wait first 15 minutes we get the confirmation candle closing above we wait for the retest back down then we move on up and you can see even on this sweeping candle right here this still wouldn't have stopped you out had you entered kept your stop below here moved on up let's check the next example here let's see if this worked out I'd like to show you somewhere it doesn't work out too we have some really good examples I was on a tear with this uh a few days back prior to here so let's see what happens here right 15minute high right here and 15-minute low all right now what I want you to notice here and I'm going to I'm going to drag this further just so you can kind of see this right and how important this is 15 minute High 15 minute low so we have a little chop in this first 15 now where I like to watch the one minute this is exactly why I want you guys watching two different time frames when you trade this is because third let me make sure the right date here okay April 1st let's go back so the reason why I like you guys having a second multiple time frames on here is because of situations just like this so we see that we break above the 15-minute with a 5 minute close all right we can see that pretty Clearly Now however right when we do that when we get that break above of the problem here is that on our buying candles up we are having extremely low buying but aggressive selling candles when I see that in the one minute chart right I want to map that out and I'm going to be very aware of that particular selling volume so this tells me when we can't go higher when our buying is extremely low when we have anomalies in our price that I'm not going to try to catch this continuation move up until we get some aggressive buying so when I can look with within those 5-minute candles and see hey something's not adding up here that tells me there's a good chance I'm going to wait and on this particular setup this could even tell you that hey we failed the 15-minute High we come down we retest that support now turn to resistance and you take this to the downside that's also another Advanced strategy is when you fail the 15-minute orb like you see here prime example when you fail the 15-minute orb when your volume's saying that there's an anomaly there's a good chance we're going to reverse you can inverse it right you wait for the move down you retest it back up you keep your stops above these candle wick highs and you try to take the move down from this 15-minute orb to the lower 15-minute orb it's a little higher risk because you're trading within that range but it's something that you'll see work out quite a bit now that you're watching for it you'll know what to look for you'll know how to use the one minute chart in accordance with the 5minute chart and you'll be able to see okay this looks like an inverse 15-minute orb I'm going to take this so good example there now another example one that I took inside team bow let's go back here specifically there's a really really good example here that I want you guys to see and learn from on yeah the 26 there we go this is a beautiful beautiful example of a trade that we took now and there's a good lesson in this too so what do we do first and foremost every time we map out the 15-minute high and we map out the 15minute low which is right here now every time that you see pre-market low it's close here not quite running through the same as our 15-minute low that's a double confirmation you always want to be on the lookout for that because the more confirmations you can get in your trade the more your Edge goes up the more your probabilities go up and the more money you make in the long term now on this particular trade again another live trade that I called out inside team bull traded live in real time made over $1,000 on was we broke down aggressively increasing selling volume now on this move particularly back up you can see here we didn't quite touch this 15-minute orb but the reason this was just over a $1,000 trade versus a two or three or $4,000 trade is I started with lower size now mind you I I have a different mindset with money I've been trading for N9 years if I can make $1,000 of real money every single day that's over $250,000 a year Trading you know in a career where I've made over $3 million with proof over the years that's sustainable almost stress-free money for me that's how I look at things you know you see a lot of these prop guys that are posting these huge gains but it's not like they're getting paid out that every day I'm getting payouts every day that's the difference so we see here we come up and we we retest close to this 15-minute low now I'm watching price action in particular this day I'm going to show you what that looks like here and let's go back pull this up for you and we can see here on the 26th that this is going to be a light bulb moment for you guys I know it 26th now the reason I try this trade early I think this is the right Wednesday 26 March 25th okay now the reason that I try this trade early on QQQ is that you can see here our low is 41.7 4 91.7 right on this retest backup in particular we break this low we have increasing selling volume right I see us come down pop back up on this candle in particular right here I know that with this aggressive selling that if I buy here I can either a add in this low right here and then I keep my stop Above This previous Wick right if we close a 5 minute above this or stop Above This Wick right here I am out but I add slowly I add small give myself room to add once more and do that because I know that if I have a little more wiggle room if I add the entry a little sooner or earlier you could say that I have to use less risk because it gives the the trade room to breathe and that's where a lot of you guys go wrong is you don't give your trades any room to breathe so you're not always going to have the perfect entry I'm not going to sit here in paint this is oh you're going to have the perfect entry model every single time it's not going to happen but if you can see a setup like this playing out you see confirmations coming in you see the reversal up here you have a good sense that price is going to keep moving down you can try your entry a little lower use a little less risk right and then let the trade breathe and end up paying you now let's go back another day another orb we caught let's go to here another prime example right let's mark the 15-minute High here okay and then let's mark the 15minute low all right prime prime example this is exactly why you wait for a 5 minute close to do anything you see here we 15minute High 15-minute low if you tried to immediately buy this breakout or retest you got cooked here if you tried to buy this breakout or retest you got cooked here however if you wait wait wait candle close above buy retest down set stop below confirming candle write it up you just caught a great trade and if nothing else you wait for this to bounce back up you buy Here Right set your stop below this said candle again these are all trades that I took might I add all trades that I took in real time in team bolt right you buy this candle set your stop below here and move on up that's why we wait for the 15minute clo or the 5 minute close excuse me above that 15minute high all it takes guys is patience to execute this strategy if you can just stay patient stay disciplined execute discipline in every time frame of your trading day of your daily life become disciplined become focused you're going to make money and have success at a minimum having more confidence using this strategy and at a baseline level even if you need more help with vpa more videos on that on this channel I have more advanced videos coming out and and by by the way I guess it's a good time to say if you guys want more advanced videos on vpa comment vpa below and I'll break down exactly what I see Candle by candle the point is is that if you use this 15-minute opening range high and low as a baseline for Trend setting a lot of times you'll see it decide the trend of the day be a key level throughout the day right for bounces and rejects and it will give you more of a set system to go on and to trade with every single day while you're navigating the market the best thing we can do is keep our s confident is to keep oursel patient is to stay disciplined and having a set system that does that for you helps a ton helps a ton I've been doing this N9 years I've seen pretty much every strategy in the book this is one of the really good ones that I use every single day so hopefully you guys got some value from this video 20 minutes of pure fire make sure you tap in hit
