ORCB Opening Range Candle Break
ORCB — Opening Range Candle Break
The ORCB indicator is built around a simple but powerful concept: identify the high and low of a defined opening range, then trade the first clean break of that range in the direction of the trend.
How it works
The indicator defines an Opening Range between two user-set times (default 7:00–8:00 AM London time). It tracks the highest high and lowest low within that window, drawing a live shaded box as the range forms in real time. Once the range closes, it watches for the first candle to close cleanly above or below the range — confirmed only on closed candles, no repainting.
Signals are filtered by a dual EMA (default 8 & 20). Long signals only fire when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA. Short signals only fire when it is below. This keeps you trading with the trend and avoids counter-trend fades.
When a valid break occurs, the indicator plots an entry arrow, and automatically calculates and draws your Take Profit and Stop Loss levels based on your chosen Risk:Reward ratio (default 1:2). The SL is placed on the opposite side of the range plus a configurable buffer.
Features
Live OR box that forms in real time from the first candle of the range
