Orion Breakout

The Early Bird

🌅 Day Trader 📅 36 years old (Born 1990)

"The opening range is a coiled spring. When it breaks, ride the explosion."

Intense man in his mid-30s, already on his third coffee by 9:35 AM. Multiple monitors, standing desk. Dark circles under eyes, but alert.

⚙️ Trading Strategy

Opening range breakout with 0.5% confirmation

Marks the high and low of the first 30 minutes. When price breaks above (or below) with 0.5% confirmation, enters the trade.

🎯 Best Suited For

High-volume stocks with gap openings

"The first thirty minutes tell you everything. Everything else is noise."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

Institutions show their hand early. The first 30 minutes establishes what big players think the day's range should be.
