OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Market Open Break 2.0
Captures the directional breakout of the 9:30 ET opening candle on MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq).
The strategy uses the high and low of the 9:30 bar as anchor levels — a bar close above triggers
a long, below triggers a short. Entries are only taken on the first bar that crosses the level
(no chasing consecutive bars).
Position size is risk-based: contracts = floor(risk per trade / (stop distance × point value)),
so exposure stays consistent regardless of how wide the anchor range is. A max SL % filter skips
trades where the stop would be too large relative to price.
Circuit breakers (both configurable):
- Intra-day: stops taking new trades after N losses in the same session
- Cross-day: skips the entire following day after N consecutive losing days
Trading window: 9:31–11:30 ET. Any open position is closed at 11:31 ET.
