Thanks for this thread. Love ORB for discipline , market tells you quickly if you're wrong. For those new: Key is not the break, it's the quality of the range. Tight range with London open can be high probability. Wide range already so skip. Do you use fixed opening time (e.g. NY 9:30) or session-based (London open) for Forex pairs?

The first breakout can look very tempting but I prefer waiting for a cleaner confirmation. Chasing the move usually makes the trade more stressful.

I trade ORB, using volume profile. Use 30 min NY open and depending on whether today’s volume profile opened about the value area of yesterday’s profile, enter on ORB. Basically, context should match with ORB. 1/2 or 1.1.5 it's my RR.
