How to Trade the ORB Strategy (And Use It for Funded Accounts)

Описание: This webinar teaches the ORB (Opening Range Breakout) strategy and how to apply it with solid risk management, especially in funded accounts. Matt explains that ORB is built around the first 5–30 minutes of the market: mark the high and low of the first candle, then trade the breakout direction (long if it breaks above, short if it breaks below). The key is reacting to the break, not predicting, and always having three things defined before entering: entry, stop-loss (opposite side of the range), and take-profit (often using a simple 2R target).

He emphasizes fixed risk per trade (example: $100–$250) so traders don’t blow daily loss limits or trailing drawdown rules in programs like Apex. The hardest part isn’t the strategy, it’s discipline, avoiding common mistakes like increasing size after losses, canceling stops, or overtrading inside the range. To remove emotion and execution errors, he explains using OCO/bracket orders so the system can enter either direction automatically once the opening range is set (while noting some funded firms may discourage bracket orders unless routed through execution-mode copying).

Matt also connects ORB to the bigger system: using automation and backtesting inside NinjaTrader to avoid missing entries, maintain consistent sizing, and scale across multiple funded accounts. He shares example ORB settings (tickers, timeframes, start times, days of week) derived from four-year backtests, pointing out that software can analyze nearly 1,000+ trades in minutes instead of manual review. He closes by noting Push Button Trading has eight automated strategies/bots and will teach more over future webinars, offering to share additional videos for those who want to see the tech in depth.
