Deep dives
Understanding the Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy focuses on the first few minutes of a stock's trading day to predict its potential movement for the remainder of the session. This initial five-minute period is crucial as it represents a price discovery phase where buyers and sellers establish an initial trading range. Traders believe that when a stock breaks out of this established range, it often indicates a strong directional move, reflecting the stock's intentions. As a result, this brief window becomes a key opportunity for traders to identify promising trades based on early market activity.
