Explore complementary indicator rolesHow it works
The indicator first establishes an opening range during the first 15 minutes of market trading (9:30-9:45 am), plotting high and low lines. It then monitors price action from 9:45 am to 2:30 pm, tracking breakouts above or below these range lines. An exponential moving average (EMA) is used to confirm trend direction.
For a bullish breakout, the current price must be above the opening range high, with the EMA trending upward and positioned above the range high. Conversely, a bearish breakout requires price to be below the opening range low, with the EMA trending downward and positioned below the range low
