The Problem

Day traders manually monitor charts for hours to identify Opening Range Breakout setups, plotting VWAP, EMA, and Fibonacci levels across timeframes. This leads to missed opportunities, emotional decision-making, inconsistent rule application, and mental fatigue. Despite having a clear systematic strategy, execution remains the weak link.

Potential Solution

A cloud-based SaaS platform that continuously scans user-selected futures/forex instruments for ORB setups in real-time. Automatically calculates opening range levels, plots technical confluence zones (VWAP, EMA, Fibonacci), and executes trades based on customizable rule-based strategies. Includes integrated risk management, position sizing, and performance analytics dashboard.

Why Now?

Retail trading volume has exploded post-2020, commission-free futures access is expanding, and broker APIs are now robust enough for reliable retail automation. Traders are actively seeking systematic edges to replace discretionary screen-watching.

Orb strategy day 129

r/DaytradingFeb 13, 2026

After the opening range formed, price stayed below both EMA and VWAP, keeping the bias clearly bearish. We then got a strong break below the ORB low with solid displacement, not just a wick, but real acceptance lower. Instead of chasing, I waited for the pullback into the golden zone (0.5–0.618). The retrace stayed below VWAP and EMA, which confirmed sellers were still in control. I entered short inside that zone, placed my stop at the 1.0 fib, and targeted a 2:1 RR. Ezi

Orb strategy day 128

Feb 12, 2026

Today I traded the 5-minute ORB on MNQ. From the open, price was trading below both VWAP and the EMA, so my bias was clearly bearish. After the ORB broke to the downside, I looked for a pullback using Fibonacci. The impulse moves were relatively small and choppy, which made it harder to get a clean fib retracement entry. It wasn’t the most textbook setup, but the overall context still favored shorts. I entered on the retrace with my stop placed around the 0.7 fib level. The move continued lower fairly quickly and delivered a fast 2:1 R. Not the cleanest structure, but solid execution Ezi

Orb strategy day 127

r/DaytradingFeb 10, 2026

I normally don’t trade the Asia session, but this time I decided to give it a try. From the start, price was clearly above both the EMA and VWAP, so the bias was bullish. After the opening range formed, price broke to the upside. I waited for the retrace, but it wasn’t as deep as I normally require. Instead of staying patient, I didn’t want to miss the move and decided to enter anyway, a panic buy, if I’m being honest. To manage the risk, I kept my stop loss wide, giving the trade enough room to breathe, and I stuck to a 2:1 risk-to-reward despite the less-than-perfect entry. Structurally, nothing had broken: price remained above EMA and VWAP, and bullish momentum stayed intact. The trade played out, but the lesson remains clear. Even when the outcome is positive, execution still matters. Entering out of FOMO isn’t part of the plan. Next time, if the retrace isn’t clean, I’ll let it go. Especially during a session I don’t normally trade. There will always be another set up I hope. Ezi

Orb strategy day 126

Feb 6, 2026

At the open, price crossed the EMA and VWAP and kept respecting the trendline. That already showed me buyers were stepping in, even though the higher timeframe was still bearish. Iwas trading the 5m ORB. There was a lot of volume during the opening, which is exactly what I want to see for this setup. After the first push, I waited for a pullback and entered around the 0.3 fib early, but with strong momentum behind it. My SL was at the 0.7 fib. For TP, I aimed for the daily high. I didn’t go for a full 2:1 RR because the higher timeframe was still bearish and I didn’t want to overstay the move. Price hit TP clean and after that it broke the higher timeframe trendline and just rocketed. No stress though trade was executed by the plan. Sometimes price keeps going, but I’m fine with taking what the market gives. Ezi

Orb strategy day 125 ( with extra info )

Feb 5, 2026

At the open, price was above EMA and VWAP, so the initial lean was bullish. But once the ORB range was set, there was no follow-through to the upside. Instead, price broke the ORB to the downside and shortly after broke the intraday trendline. That was the signal for me to drop long ideas and focus only on shorts. After the break, price retraced into fib resistance. Took the short on the rejection. Heres a small checklist that will help everyone I hope. 1. Draw trendline to confirm the bias of the last hours. 2. Mark daily high and low and Previous day low and high 3. Waith for the first 5min/15min ( depending on your trading style ) of market open. This is your range. 4. Waith for a break of this range. (If it breaks trendline also it confirms your bias also. See this trade for example. With a trendline break I whas more confident to take a short since price gave me clear signs it is shifting. It works the other way around also. If price respects trendline you can be more confident taking longs) 5. After break we use fibonacci for entries. Set your fibonacci to the most recent swing high and low because we want to calculate the retrace. 6. I use 2:1 RR so I set my Sl first and after that my tp. (If you are uncertain of your trade > risk down ) I hope this helps! Ps: forgive my english😭
