MePip 5M ORB Trading

I have been digging up some data on the 5 minute ORB when trading ES (US500). That's my primary market. It seems on the first breakout, there is a 21% win rate if you hold the position aiming for about 10 points - rather disappointing. However it it ...

The PriceBob Strategy

Hi Vidvad If you continue with this strategy idea, you will get myself & Machine tagging along for a period as well. We are both crazy scalpers. I trade this basic strategy every day during quiet periods using live Delta instead of ATR data. It gets ...

Price Reversal Prediction Indicator

We need more information. Forex, Futures or Stocks? Intraday charts under 5 minutes or longer time frames like the 1 hour chart or Daily charts. Are you a scalper or a trader that likes to hold for days? What sort of % return would you like to ...

Price Reversal Prediction Indicator

Just stick with swing trading blue chip stocks and you can’t go too wrong. Future’s is the most honest market in my opinion but the win rate there is no better than Forex and you still have to deal with high leverage and crappy price action ...

I’m shocked to hear this news Vidvad about Rocky, terribly upset to hear this very sad news. I enjoyed Rocky’s private conversations we had together from time to time and Rocky’s thread was one of the best here on Forex Factory. I feel lost today. ...

Williams%R, SAR X-over 15 minute candles

Hi Guys Just one example where Volume data confirms ORB breakout. I'll bugger off after this post Took the ORB breakout on ES with a 87% probability of achieving a nice win on the opening move. Delta was running around 1200 Buyers advantage on first ...

MePip 5M ORB Trading

Hi Guys I find the 5 minute ORB a nice setup but it has to accept the VWAP normally controls direction of liquidity on many days of the week. Below is the ES 2 minute chart from Friday first and then Thursday - includes 5 Min ORB. On Most days, ...
