NY Opening Range Breakout - MA Stop Strategy

Trades breakouts of the New York 9:30-9:45 opening range with optional moving-average based exits. Entries occur on the bar after a breakout if within the cutoff time and the price aligns with the moving average filter.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Previous candle closes beyond the opening range high (long) or low (short) before the cutoff time.
    • Current candle is the first after the breakout and satisfies the MA filter when enabled.
  • Long/Short: Configurable via TradeDirection.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Stop at the opposite side of the opening range.
    • Take profit according to TakeProfitType: fixed risk-reward, moving average cross, or both.
  • Stops: Yes, at range boundaries.
  • Default Values:
    • CutoffHour = 12
    • CutoffMinute = 0
    • TradeDirection = LongOnly
    • TakeProfitType = FixedRiskReward
    • TpRatio = 2.5
    • MaType = SMA
    • MaLength = 100
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)
  • Filters:
    • Category: Breakout
    • Direction: Configurable
    • Indicators: Moving Average
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Intermediate
    • Timeframe: Intraday
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
