⚙️ 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.

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.
