ORB Breakout & RetestORB Breakout & Breakdown Indicator - Complete Opening Range Strategy
Description :
The ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Breakout & Retest Indicator is a simple tool designed to identify opening range breakouts and breakdowns with retest confirmation. This indicator works on ANY timeframe while automatically analyzing 1-minute price action to detect precise entry signals.
What makes this indicator unique:
- ✅ Multi-Timeframe ORB Analysis - Simultaneously tracks 5-min, 15-min, and 30-min opening ranges
- ✅ Smart Retest Logic - Filters false breakouts by requiring price to retest and confirm the level
- ✅ Works on Any Chart Timeframe - View on 5-min, 15-min, 1-hour, or daily charts while getting 1-minute precision
- ✅ Both Long & Short Signals - Detects bullish breakouts AND bearish breakdowns
- ✅ Customizable Alerts - Get notified when confirmed setups occur
- ✅ Clean Visual Display - Compact table showing all ORB levels and signal status
How it Works:
Opening Range Detection :
- 5-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-9:35 AM
- 15-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-9:45 AM
- 30-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-10:00 AM
Breakout Confirmation (3-Step Process) :
1. Initial Break - Price closes above ORB High (or below ORB Low for shorts)
2. Retest - Price pulls back to retest the broken level
3. Confirmation - Price breaks through again, confirming the trend
This retest requirement dramatically reduces false signals and helps you enter trades with better risk/reward.
Perfect For :
- Day traders looking for opening range strategies
- Scalpers who need precise entry signals
- Swing traders identifying strong intraday momentum
- Anyone trading stocks, futures, forex, or crypto during market hours

Custom Session ORB - Extending Past Current CandleCustom Session ORB - Extending Past Current Candle
This indicator plots Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels for one or two customizable trading sessions directly on your chart. It dynamically tracks the high, low, and midpoint of the defined session(s) and extends these levels beyond the session using a configurable offset.
Features:
Supports two custom sessions.
New York and Asia pre-saved.
Automatically tracks session High, Low, and Mid.
Option to extend ORB levels past the live candle.
Option to display only the most recent ORB for a clean chart.
Configurable line thickness, style, and label size.
Works in Eastern Standard Time (EST) without manual adjustment.
Settings:
Show Labels: Toggle to display ORB values on chart.
Label Font Size: Small, Normal, Large.
Mid Line Style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
ORB Line Thickness: Set line thickness of ORB levels.
Extend Past Current Candle by N Bars: Controls how far the ORB extends visually.
Show Only Current ORB: Cleans chart by removing previous session ORB levels.
Enable Session 1 / 2: Toggle individual sessions on/off.
Session Time: Set the start and end times for each session (automatically in EST).
How It Works:
The indicator monitors the defined session time, records the high, low, and midpoint, and draws lines at those levels. When the session ends, the lines are extended by the specified offset for easy breakout visualization. Labels can optionally show the exact price levels.
ORB Range Indicator with Fibonacci Targets
This script plots the Opening Range (ORB) high and low based on a configurable time window (5–45 minutes from the U.S. session open at 9:30 AM EST).
Once the ORB window closes, the indicator draws horizontal lines marking:
ORB High and Low
The size of the range in price and %
Fibonacci-based price targets above and below the range (0.382, 0.618, 1.000, 1.618, 2.000)
You can control:
Which Fibonacci levels to display
Whether to show long targets, short targets, or both
All drawings are automatically cleared at the start of each trading day.
Ideal for breakout traders using ORB and Fibonacci extensions for target planning.
