5-Min ORB with Volume Spike
This indicator identifies Opening Range Breakouts (ORB) based on the high and low of the first 5 minutes of the trading day and confirms the breakout with a volume spike.
🔍 What It Does:
Automatically captures the Opening Range High and Low from 9:30 AM to 9:35 AM (configurable).
Plots green (high) and red (low) lines across the chart once the opening range is set.
Highlights long breakout signals when price breaks above the OR High with above-average volume.
Highlights short breakout signals when price breaks below the OR Low with above-average volume.
Volume confirmation is based on a customizable 20-period simple moving average (SMA) of volume.
⚙️ Best Used On:
5-minute or lower intraday charts (e.g., SPY, QQQ, futures, etc.)
Highly liquid, high-volatility instruments
U.S. equity market open (customizable for other sessions)
📈 Trading Edge: This strategy helps traders identify strong, momentum-driven breakouts early in the trading session — especially when confirmed by increased institutional activity (volume spike).
