30-minute opening range breakdown
Price closes below the low of the session's first 30 minutes, within the first 2½ hours of trading.
- What it is for
- A classic day-trading setup: the opening range sets the day's battle lines; a decisive break often shows the day's direction.
- Rule
- Sell short on 5m bars when (close crosses below or low) and (or ready above 0) and (or minutes below 150). Stop: 1.5 × ATR(14) from the entry. Target: 2 × the risk (stop distance). Exit after 36 bars at the latest.
