The Strategies

Three independent strategies, each built around a specific market behavior. Subscribe to any one and run it on any futures contract — your license covers the code, not a single instrument. Tuned param templates dropping soon.

For current performance numbers, head to the My Setup page — the Prop Firm Analyzer Demo there is loaded with the live backtest data for my active configs so you can see how they stack up against prop firm targets. Drive it yourself.

TurnKeyORB

Type: Opening Range Breakout — bidirectional

Defines the opening range over a configurable window, then enters in the direction of a decisive close past either side. One strategy file handles both long and short — toggle either direction off per template if you want to run a long-only or short-only setup. A confirmation-bars filter rejects single-bar pokes that get sold (or bought) right back.

Disabled-direction breakouts don't burn the day's entry quota, so a long-only template stays patient through a fake-down move while still waiting for the real upside break.

TurnKeyORBFade

Type: Opening Range Fade — counter-trend

Same opening range detection as TurnKeyORB, but the entry direction is inverted. Upside break → I enter short. Downside break → I enter long. The thesis: most opening-range breakouts don't go anywhere — they poke past the boundary, attract some momentum buyers, then drift back. ORBFade is built to be on the other side of that.

Trend-alignment filters are stripped from this one by design — they would block the exact trades the strategy is built to take. Default stop and target sizing uses ATR (Average True Range) so the strategy adapts to current volatility automatically. Runs naturally as a pair with TurnKeyORB on the same instrument — one wins when the breakout extends, the other wins when it fades.

TurnKeyGapFade

Type: Gap fade / mean reversion

Measures the overnight gap between yesterday's session close and today's regular-session open at the first RTH bar, then watches for the first bar that closes back inside the gap — that's the entry trigger. Up gap → short entry. Down gap → long entry. A configurable size filter skips days where the gap is too small to be worth fading or too wide to fill in the session window.

There's a profit-room check before any entry fires: if price has already drifted most of the way toward target, the setup passes and the day waits for something cleaner. No multi-bar confirmation either — gap fades close fast or they don't, and waiting multiple bars eats into the available reward room.

Pairs naturally with my News Calendar indicator — when a major news event lands inside the gap window the strategy skips the day automatically rather than fading a news-driven move.

Coming to the Suite

The catalog is going to keep growing. Here's what's in the pipeline — plus a separate Order Flow product line in the works for traders who want to add that data layer to their setup.

TurnKeyReversal COMING SOON

Type: Structural reversal entries

Catches reversals at exhaustion points instead of breakouts. A first version went through my own live testing and didn't behave the way I wanted — instead of shipping something marginal, I pulled it back to redesign around what the data was actually telling me. The rebuild is in progress and I'll post in Discord the moment it's ready.

Status: Coming soon — no firm date yet.

Order Flow Suite PREMIUM — PLANNED

Type: Order flow — bid/ask imbalance + volume profile

A separate product line in the works, not an add-on to the current suite. These strategies are built on the order flow layer — reading actual buying and selling pressure at each price level rather than just where the candle closed. Different data, different edges, different setups.

Status: Coming soon — no firm date yet.

Features Across All Strategies

Adjust Live, Mid-Trade

Drag stop losses and profit targets live in Chart Trader while a trade is open. The strategies play nicely with manual adjustments — recent updates handle user-drag tightening so your changes stick without the strategy fighting you.

Multiple Stop & Target Modes

Pick what works best for the instrument and regime: Fixed Ticks (a set tick distance) or Range Percent (a percentage of the opening range). Stop, target, and trail each have their own mode setting — combine them however suits your style.

Stack the Suite — One Instrument, Two Strategies

TurnKeyORB and TurnKeyORBFade are built to coexist on the same instrument. Breakout extends and follows through → ORB rides it. Breakout fakes and the range holds → ORBFade catches the return. You're on the right side of the move either way; the wrong side gives back a small stop and waits for tomorrow. Instance-isolated signal names keep the order routing clean — the two strategies don't fight each other.

Configurable Opening Range

The ORB-based strategies don't lock you to any single window — start time and length are both adjustable. Tune it shorter or longer to match your bias and the instrument's volatility profile.

Built-In Prop Firm Safety

IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = false (no surprise late-session orders). Last-entry cutoff and force-exit times are both adjustable — defaults are set conservatively for prop firm rules (last entry 14:45 ET, force exit 15:00 ET) and you can dial them tighter or looser to match your firm's specific cutoffs. 1-tick slippage assumption baked into all backtests.

Cross-Instrument Use

Each strategy is the .cs code, not a per-instrument license. Once you own a strategy, you can run it on whichever of the six micro futures contracts you want — and switch between them as markets change.
