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.
Status: Available now — Starter or Elite.
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.
Status: Available now — Starter or Elite.
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.
Status: Available now — Starter or Elite.
Elite — the full Standard suite above — is now on a 30-day free trial: TurnKeyORB, TurnKeyORBFade, and TurnKeyGapFade, unlocked from day one, on all six micros. Nothing is charged until day 30, and it runs on a normal NinjaTrader 8 data feed — if NT8 is installed and your feed is live, you can start today.
Start 30 Days FreeThe same families of setups through a different lens. The Order Flow strategies read actual buying and selling pressure — bid-ask footprint imbalances and cumulative delta — to confirm entries, not just where the candle closed.
Requires an order-flow / volumetric data feed — without one, these strategies take no trades by design. Tune them yourself, or load this quarter's templates from the Templates Pass. Available now as Order Flow Starter or Order Flow Elite.
Order Flow Elite is now on a 30-day free trial — every strategy below, unlocked from day one, on all six micros. Nothing is charged until day 30, and you can cancel any time before then. Order Flow+ is included free with a funded NinjaTrader brokerage account, so most live NT traders already have what these need.
Start 30 Days FreeType: Order-flow opening-range breakout
On the first retest of the opening-range boundary, it rides the break only when order flow confirms it — breakthroughs are overwhelming the level and cumulative delta keeps pushing in the break direction. The order-flow layer is what separates a real breakout from a fakeout.
Status: Available now — Order Flow Starter or Elite.
Type: Order-flow failed-breakout fade
A bar close beyond the opening-range boundary arms the zone; on the retest, if order flow shows the breakout failing — defenders stack at the boundary and cumulative delta turns against the break — it fades back into the range. Built to be on the other side of the fakeouts that ORBOF avoids.
Status: Available now — Order Flow Starter or Elite.
Type: Order-flow gap fade
The overnight gap fade, gated by order flow. It fades the gap only when the flow confirms exhaustion at the fade point — footprint defenders step in and cumulative delta turns back toward the gap fill. Filters out the gaps that keep running instead of filling.
Status: Available now — Order Flow Starter or Elite.
Looking for a reversal strategy? This is it — my order-flow reversal play.
Type: Order-flow zone-defense reversal
Trades with institutional money at zones that are being actively defended. It scans the volumetric footprint for stacked imbalances, clusters them into support and resistance zones, then takes a reversal when price reaches a zone and the flow confirms a defense — a cumulative-delta shift in the trade direction and fresh defenders outnumbering breakthroughs.
Status: Available now — Order Flow Starter or Elite.
Type: Opening-range retest — one-time lifetime license
The patient one. It waits for the morning breakout that comes all the way back, retests the level it broke, holds it, and resumes — the highest-conviction continuation setup there is. Rare by design: most days it never sets up. When it does, it fires, with the stop pinned just behind the retested level.
Status: Available now — $39.99 one-time, lifetime. See Pricing.
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.
Pick what works best for the instrument and regime: Fixed Ticks, Range Percent, or ATR. Stop, target, and trail each have their own mode setting — combine them however suits your style.
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.
The OR-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.
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.
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.
The Results page has the backtest numbers, and the Prop Firm Analyzer — included with every Elite plan — lets you drive the data yourself on your own strategy CSVs: add and remove configs, change contract sizes, and see what hits prop firm targets.
