ORB 15 min w/ PDHL + bands = $$$This indicator was created for the 15 min Opening Range Breakout Strategy. The goal was to incorporate Previous Day High and Low levels (PDHL).
For visual ease, the bands can be filled in and you can easily fill in an overlay color when the ORB intersects the PDHL.

ORB 15 Min By EquityDurai#Let the index/stock trade for the first fifteen minutes and then use the high and low of this "fifteen minute range" as support and resistance levels.
#A buy signal is given when price exceeds the high of the 15 minute range after an up gap.
#A sell signal is given when price moves below the low of the 15 minute range after a down gap.
#It's a simple technique that works like a charm in many cases.
>If you use this technique, though, a few caveats are in order to avoid whipsaws and other market traps.
>The most common whipsaw is a trading range that lasts longer than 15 minutes.
>If an obvious range builds in 20, 25 or even 30 minutes , use those to define your support and resistance levels.
>Also consider the higher noise level in the morning.
>A breakout that extends only a tick or two can be easily reversed and trap you in a sudden loss.
>So let others take the bait at these levels, while you find pullbacks and narrow range bars for trade execution.
