I know many of you have enjoyed part 2 of my opening range breakout video. Since it requires registration to be able to view it, I have talked TradersStudio into change the registration requirements. We now only require First Name,Last Name ,E-Mail and of course you pick your using name and password. You no longer need to put a phone number and address. I really want more people to watch this, so please register since we have now effectively limited the personal information to a E-Mail address since , First and last name is not really unique Please register at http://tradersstudio.com/Default.aspx?tabid=56
oh, now i see.. it's the market's fault that your classic method doesn't work! damn, this market is a real party wrecker isn't it.
That is not the point , the point is this method has worked for 25 years , so not working for a year or does not mean it does not work. Every method goes though period of drawdown. Remember 95% of traders lose money so the market needs to make popular trading methods not work for periods of time , so that less people trade them. Then they will start to work again. This is a way of the market protecting them.
well, Murray Ruggiero - i wish you success in your endeavour (really). and to newbie traders i advise - stick to what works NOW. when it doesn't work, stop using it. not the other way around! ciao 50

It depends on the market. Let's look at a simple classic opening range breakout system, with a counter trend filter. Sub SimpleOpenRangeBreakOut(MULT) Dim AveTr Dim Nxtopen If BarNumber<LastBar Then Nxtopen=NextOpen(0) Else Nxtopen=0 End If If Close > Open Then Sell("SellBrk",1,Nxtopen-MULT*TrueRange,Stop,Day) End If If Close < Open Then Buy("BuyBrk",1,Nxtopen+MULT*TrueRange,Stop,Day) End If End Sub We will run this system on various markets. We want to judge if the system gives you a statistical edge as a strategy, not if it is tradable, so we did not include any deductions for slippage and commissions. This system is a free system included with TradersStudio. We ran it using several markets: Crude, Cotton, Coffee, SP500, Nasdaq, Natural Gas, Ten-year note. In some of these markets like SP500,Nasdaq and Natural Gas the average trade is high enough to make it tradable. In Cotton and Coffee the average trade is not high enough to think about trading, but high enough to make it interesting if we add a few more filters. In Crude oil and the ten-year note our point is just that it show a positive returns both long and short in markets with strong bias. Please review attached spreadsheets. Many people say Opening range breakout does not work anymore. You can see that this is not true, volatility makes it work. In fact out of our list of seven markets the only losing markets are the stock indexes. It was profitable in every other market in this limited study. I have included the Spreadsheet produced by TradersStudio as an attachment. Remember you can also watch the first two parts of the opening range breakout video for free on TradersStudio.com http://www.tradersstudio.com/Default.aspx?tabid=129
I decided to put one of my spreadsheet from my Futures articles on opening range breakout up on Elite Trader. This spreadsheet shows NR_X patterns . All trades are exited at the end of the day. This spreadsheet was produced with TradersStudio custom report feature, which allows any system to produce a custom report which can be access with just one mouse click. This report can be printed as well as exported to Excel.
Murray, I have followed your work for some time through Cybernetic Strategies and Futures Mag. I was pleased to see that you post on this website when I signed on. It seems to me that much of your work involves researching filtering of various types to improve system performance. Have you done any research using 'day-of-week' filtering with ORB and if you have, does it still work? agtrader777
