Sigma Breakout

Roboquant

No reviews yet

Each regular-hours session (09:30-16:00 ET) is anchored to a reference: the RTH open by default, or the session VWAP as of the previous bar. For every clock-time slot of the session the strategy averages how far price had moved from the open at that same time over the last N sessions, then multiplies that average by a band multiplier to place an upper and a lower band around the reference. The bands use only prior sessions, so there is no lookahead, and trading starts once every slot has a full N-day history. A bar that closes above the upper band goes long and a close below the lower band goes short; a break of the opposite band flips the position, and anything still open is flattened at the 16:00 ET close. An optional percentage stop loss switches sizing from a fixed lot to a percentage of equity, or a fixed dollar amount, risked at that stop. This showcase run uses the MNQ 30m preset: a 2-day sigma window, a 1.5x band multiplier, the RTH open as reference, no stop loss, and 1 contract per trade.

NQ Precision Bot

An opening range breakout for the first hour of the US session. The strategy builds the range from 1-minute bars between 9:30 and 9:45 ET. With the entry trigger on, it takes a single snapshot at the trigger time: price above the range goes long, below goes short, and inside the range means no trade that day. With the trigger off, it takes the first breakout of the range from the range end until a cut-off time. Stop loss and take profit are both set as multiples of ATR from the entry, and an optional time-based close flattens the trade after a set number of minutes if neither has filled. Two filters skip breakouts that are too weak or too strong: relative volume and the ATR regime (short ATR divided by long ATR) must both sit inside their bands. Position size is either a fixed number of contracts or a fixed dollar risk per trade sized off the ATR stop distance. Entries and exits run on ticks, so backtest it with tick data. This showcase run uses the NQ 1m preset: 6 fixed contracts, a 9:59:55 ET entry trigger, stop at 2.2× and target at 0.3× the 14-bar ATR, a time close after 8 minutes, relative volume (14 bars) between 0.5 and 1.5, and the 14/50 ATR regime between 1.0 and 2.5.

M30 ORB + M5 Breakout

Roboquant

No reviews yet

The opening range is built on the 5-minute chart from a configurable New York start time and length (09:30-10:00 ET by default) and drawn as a box over that exact window, with every session's box kept on the chart. Once the range is complete, the first 5-minute candle that closes above the range high goes long and the first that closes below the range low goes short, up to a set number of trades per day. The stop is either a multiple of the 5-minute ATR or the breakout candle's own low (long) or high (short), and the target is a configurable multiple R of that stop distance. Position size is a fixed number of contracts or a fixed dollar risk at the stop. Two optional filters skip weak breakouts: a daily-ATR regime filter that requires the current daily ATR to reach a set fraction of its recent average (and, optionally, a minimum in points), and a relative-volume filter that requires the breakout candle's volume to be a set multiple of the trailing average. Longs and shorts can be switched on or off separately, and an optional end-of-day flatten closes any open position at a chosen New York time. This showcase run uses the MNQ 5m preset: a 09:30-10:00 ET range, one trade per day, $700 risked per trade, a 3x 14-period ATR stop with a 1.5R target, the daily-ATR filter on with no minimum, the relative-volume filter at 1.4x the 20-bar average, both directions, and a 15:00 ET flatten.

NY ORB Retest - PDH/PDL Filter

Roboquant

No reviews yet

Trades the New York opening range on a retest of the broken level rather than on the breakout itself. The opening range is built from the start of the NY session and is only traded when it sits fully inside the previous session day's high and low; otherwise the day is skipped. A candle close above the range high arms a long, and a close below the range low arms a short, each with a resting limit order at the broken level. The order fills only if price trades back and touches the level within the retest window; if the window expires, the order is cancelled and there is no trade that day. At most one trade is taken per day, with the stop and target set as ATR multiples on the traded timeframe. Position size is either a fixed number of contracts or a fixed dollar risk at the stop. The chart draws the previous day's high and low, plus an opening-range box with its levels extended through the retest zone. This showcase run uses the NQ 15m preset: a 15-minute opening range from 09:30 ET, previous-day high/low taken from the full session day starting 18:00 ET, an 80-minute retest window measured from the breakout close, a 14-period ATR stop at 2.8× ATR and target at 2.2× ATR, $2,000 risked per trade, longs and shorts enabled, and a forced flatten at 15:55 ET.

An opening range breakout on the New York session. The strategy records the high and low of the opening range (by default the first 15 minutes from 09:30 ET) and draws it as a box on the chart. Once the range is complete, a bar that closes above the range high goes long and a bar that closes below the range low goes short. The stop sits at the opposite side of the range, and the target is either a multiple of that stop distance (Reward:Risk) or a fixed number of points. An optional wick filter skips breakout candles whose opposing wick is too large a share of the candle. An optional daily bias gate reads price once per session against the previous day's high and low: a close below the previous day low blocks longs, and a close above the previous day high blocks shorts. Position size is either a fixed dollar risk at the stop or a fixed number of contracts. Trades per day are capped, no new entries are taken after a cutoff time, and open positions can optionally be flattened at that cutoff. This showcase run uses the MNQ 15m preset: a 09:30–09:45 ET opening range, longs and shorts, $500 risked per trade, 1:1 Reward:Risk, one trade per day, breakouts with an opposing wick above 13% of the candle skipped, the daily bias gate on, no new entries after 14:00 ET, and no forced flatten.

NY Open Range Breakout

Roboquant

No reviews yet

Builds an opening range from the first 15-minute bars after the 09:30 ET New York open, then trades the first bar that closes beyond it: long above the range high, short below the range low. A breakout is taken only when two regime filters agree: relative volume, where the breakout bar's volume must reach a multiple of the recent average, and volatility, where ATR as a percentage of price must sit inside a floor and ceiling band. The stop is either the far side of the range or a multiple of ATR, with an optional cap in points, and the target is a multiple of the stop distance. Position size is a fixed dollar risk or a percentage of account equity risked at the stop. New entries stop at a cutoff time and any open position is flattened before the close. This showcase run uses the MNQ 15m preset: a one-bar (09:30–09:45 ET) opening range, a stop at 0.4× the 14-period ATR with no point cap, a target at 0.4× the stop distance, $3,000 fixed risk per trade, RVOL of at least 1.0× the 20-bar average, ATR between 0.10% and 0.60% of price, no new entries from 15:00 ET, a 15:55 ET flatten, both directions, and one trade per day.

DTR Range Breakout Return

Roboquant

No reviews yet

Builds a pre-market range from the highs and lows printed in a set New York time window, then waits for the US open. Breaks before the open are ignored: from 09:30 ET onward, a side only counts as broken when a candle closes fully beyond the range high or low. Once a side has broken, the strategy waits for a candle to close back inside the range and trades the failed breakout: a close back inside after breaking below the range goes long, and a close back inside after breaking above goes short. A set-up expires if price does not return within a set number of bars, and no new entries are taken after the entry cutoff. The stop sits beyond the most extreme price printed since the open (plus an optional tick buffer) or at an ATR multiple from entry; the target is the opposite side of the range or an ATR multiple from entry. Position size is either a fixed number of contracts or a fixed dollar risk per trade at the stop, and any open position is flattened at a set time before the close. This showcase run uses the MNQ 1m preset: an 08:12–09:12 ET range, entries from 09:30 until 10:45 ET, set-ups valid for 50 bars, one trade per day, the stop at the post-open extreme with no buffer, the target at 1× ATR(14), $700 risked per trade, and a 15:50 ET flatten.

4H FU Retest

Roboquant

No reviews yet

Compares the completed 06:00–10:00 ET range with the preceding 02:00–06:00 ET range. A bullish setup sweeps below the earlier low and closes above its high; a bearish setup sweeps above the earlier high and closes below its low. The retest zone is the lower half of the signal range for longs and the upper half for shorts. Entry options include the signal close, a zone retest, or confirmation after a retest, with ATR-based stops and a target set as a multiple of stop distance. This showcase run uses the MES 15m preset: entry on the first zone retest without breakout confirmation, a 14:00 ET cutoff for new entries, 20 contracts, at most one trade per day, a 14-period ATR stop at 4× ATR with no extra buffer, and a target at 0.5× the stop distance. Entry at the signal close and the optional 16:55 ET flatten are disabled.

Previous Day Extreme

Roboquant

No reviews yet

The previous CME session's high and low are marked on whatever intraday timeframe the backtest runs on, with the outer band of that range drawn as shaded zones (25% by default); the session roll happens at the 18:00 ET Globex open, not at calendar midnight. Once price trades into an extreme band the setup arms, and an entry only fires when a bar CLOSES fully beyond the previous bar's wick: a close above the prior bar's high goes long out of the lower band, a close below the prior bar's low goes short out of the upper band. Stops and targets come from a dropdown - either the prior-day range edges or ATR multiples - with position size as a fixed number of contracts or a fixed dollar risk per trade. Entries are capped per 18:00 ET session, direction can be restricted to longs or shorts, and the prior-day levels and zones are drawn and then frozen so they never bleed into the next session. This showcase run uses the NQ 15m preset: a 25% band, ATR mode with a 2.5x stop and a 2.7x target, fixed 1 contract, both directions and 1 trade per session.

MNQ Range Breakout

Roboquant

No reviews yet

A single targeted 15-minute window per day - chosen by a local hour and minute with a user-set UTC offset and converted to UTC internally - is tracked from the underlying 1-minute bars and drawn as a growing range box. When that window closes the range is confirmed and frozen, and the box is capped so it never extends more than five bars past confirmation. From then on the strategy waits for a 1-minute candle to CLOSE above the range high (long) or below the range low (short): the stop sits on the opposite side of the range and the target is a configurable Risk:Reward multiple of the range height, with only one trade per range. An optional stop-loss filter skips the whole range when its height exceeds a set percentage of price. Reverse trade mode is opt-in: if the first trade is stopped out, the strategy waits for a fresh close on the stop side and takes one reverse trade with its own Risk:Reward and quantity. Everything resets with the next day's window. This showcase run uses the MNQ 15m preset: a 01:00 local target window at UTC offset -4, 3.9:1 Risk:Reward, 1 contract, reverse mode on at 2.9:1, and the stop-loss filter set to 0.2%.

The Flash Trigger ORB

Roboquant

No reviews yet

A single targeted candle - selected by timeframe and a local hour and minute in a user-adjustable UTC offset - defines the range: its high is drawn as a green line and its low as a red line, extending a few bars to the right and kept on the chart so previous sessions' ranges stay visible. Once that candle closes the range is confirmed, and the entries are close-based: a candle closing above the range high goes long with the stop at the range low, a close below the range low goes short with the stop at the range high, and the target is a configurable Risk:Reward multiple of that stop distance. Only one trade is allowed per confirmed range. Position size is a fixed lot, a fixed dollar risk per trade, or a percentage of account equity risked at the stop; an optional trailing stop tightens the exit once the trade is a set number of points in profit, trailing at a fixed buffer distance. An optional weekday filter skips the range on disabled days, and an end-of-day flatten closes any open position at a configurable UTC time. This showcase run uses the MNQ 15m preset: a 14:30 UTC targeted candle, 3:1 Risk:Reward, 1% of account risked per trade, trailing on (70 points to activate, 25-point buffer), and a 23:59 UTC flatten.

Crazy ORB

Roboquant

No reviews yet

The opening range is marked between the range start and end times (09:15-09:30 ET by default) and drawn as a growing box with high and low reference lines that stay live for the rest of the session. When the window closes the range locks, and the entry is close-confirmed: a candle must CLOSE above the range high or below the range low, so a wick or spike through an edge does nothing. On that confirming close the order goes in at market in the break direction, with a stop at ATR times a multiplier measured from the confirming close, a take profit at a configurable R multiple of that stop distance, and size computed from a fixed dollar risk per trade (contract-multiplier aware, floored so it never risks more than the budget). Each side gets one shot per day, so an upside break and a later downside break are two separate trades, and a per-day cap limits the session. Everything is flattened at a set time so nothing carries overnight, and the optional drawing layer shows the range, the live risk/reward boxes and every fill. This showcase run uses the NQ 15m preset: a 09:15-09:30 ET opening range, ATR(14) stop at 1x, 0.35R target, $2,001 risk per trade, 2 trades per day, entries from 09:30 to 15:45 and a 15:55 ET flatten.

IVB - Initial Volatility Breakout

Roboquant

No reviews yet

The initial balance is the high/low of the first minutes of the cash session (09:30 to 10:00 ET by default), drawn as a growing zone and frozen when the window closes. From the IB close until the entry window ends, a signal needs two filters on the same bar: today's IB range divided by the average IB range of the last N trading days must fall between the min and max contraction ratios (a compressed opening), and the bar's volume must be at least the surge multiplier times the average of recent regular-hours bars. On such a bar a close above the IB high goes long and a close below the IB low goes short (direction can be restricted), with the stop and target placed at ATR multiples from the entry close and the size computed from a percentage of equity at risk. Attempts are capped per day, and an optional end-of-day flatten closes any open position at a set time. This showcase run uses the MNQ 5m preset: 09:30-10:00 IB, contraction below 0.9x the 10-day average, 1.1x volume surge, 2% risk, ATR(14) stop at 3x and target at 4x, 2 attempts per day, no EOD flatten.

Scarface ORB

The opening range is built from 09:30 ET for a configurable number of minutes and drawn as a box; when it closes, the range is bullish if the last bar closed above the first bar's open, otherwise bearish. Inside a bullish range the strategy marks the highest bearish candle (the lowest bullish candle for a bearish range) and draws its high and low as the breakout and invalidation lines. A breakout dot fires on a same-direction close beyond that candle, a second dot fires when price returns to retest the line, and the entry is a momentum candle: a same-direction close beyond the line whose rejection wick is at least Wick/Body times the body and at least Wick Ratio times the opposite wick. The stop sits at the momentum candle's low or high plus a quarter tick or, in ATR mode, ATR times a multiplier below or above the close; the target is Risk/Reward times the stop distance, size is fixed contracts or a dollar risk per trade, and a counter-directional close through the far line invalidates the setup, with at most one trade per day. This showcase run uses the MNQ 1m preset: 5-minute range, wick/body 0.09, wick ratio 1.5, ATR(14) stop at 1.4x, 2:1 R:R, fixed 10 contracts.
