ORB

The opening range is the high and low of a given period after the market opens. This period is generally the first 30 or 60 minutes of trading. It is one of the  most  important chart patterns to make money in stock market.

The Opening Range Breakout - ORB  was in Toby Crabel's book “Day Trading With Short Term Price Patterns”. Tony Crabel understood that from the beginnings of movement in a time period, whether it be a day or a week, the expanding of a price range followed a predictable and exploitable path. His approach to define a "Principle of Contraction/Expansion" enabled him to widen his investigations to a variety of narrow and wide range price formations. He investigated patterns of 2 bars, 3 bars, etc., using charts to help one understand the market concepts. Crabel's book is best known for its treatment of ORB and narrow range (NR4, NR7) patterns.

Good traders may trade patterns that appear to be simple. The Opening Range Breakout concept that has been around much longer than Crabel, but Toby Crabel made it famous, at least to those who had no reason to know that the advantage existed. Use of it will not mean that you have found the “Holy Grail”. There will be many losses to experience and the occasional large profit which makes this method so valuable. That is another reason why usually only true professionals are willing to trade this system, or others with a similar profile. You need to prove the concept to yourself before going into actual trading. Daily discipline is a key issue here.

Don't trade until an opportunity presents itself. Knowing when to stay out of the markets is as important as knowing when to be in them. 5. Your strategy has to be flexible enough to change when the environment changes. The mistake most people make is they keep the same strategy all the time. They say, "Damn, the market didn't behave the way I thought it would." Why should it? Life and the markets just don't work that way. 6. Don't get too complacent once you have made profits. The toughest thing in the world is holding on to profits. That is because once you have attained a goal, you then set a second goal that is usual

Know your Orders

There are many ways you can buy and sell using different types of orders, and each way serves a purpose. Here are the basic trading order types, and when you will want to use them. Allowing market to hit your order ( trigger your  entry ) is KEY learning in my trading journey. 01. Market Orders : Simplest order type to quick buy and sell. The issue with market orders is that you don't know the exact price you are buying or selling at.Sometime this may results in big slippage. 02.Buy Limit Order : This order is place below the current price and filled only at or below the limit price .                                                                                                                                                        03.Sell Limit Orders : This orders is placed above the current price and filled only at or above the limit price.
