ORB Europe
Trades the European session on MNQ. It builds the European opening range and enters on a momentum breakout, closing before the US open. 63% win rate in backtest.
How it works
ORB Europe applies the same opening-range breakout logic as the US ORB, but on the European session. The initial range forms in the early European morning (open around 09:00 Madrid time in summer) and the strategy watches for a momentum breakout in the direction of the day's trend. The session is force-closed by mid-morning, before New York opens: no overnight exposure and no overlap with the US session.
Management is staged: a first target locks in profit and moves the stop to breakeven, and the remainder runs toward a second target. All logic runs by itself inside NinjaTrader 8.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading involves substantial risk and is not appropriate for all investors. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
