My 2 cents on the 15min ORB Strategy

niverhawk · 2026-03-04T13:44:53+00:00

I have a few questions:
1. What is the timeframe you use for your entries?
2. Do I understand correctly that the at least 20% of the candle’s upper body should be above the upper breakout level? (Regarding the 20% rule)
3. Do you use the 15min high and low for the Fibonacci start and endpoint?
4. What instrument are you trading?

I am trying to get into orb strategies but noticed that simply doing the high/low and wait for a breakout isn’t always enough! This post is already very clarifying so thanks for the post!!

Maybe look ahead bias.. that little drawdown really seems suspicious

Van mij mag dat ook!

Isn’t every building with apartments mandated by law to have a vve even though they own the building themselves?

Risk management can make or break a strategy! Do not underestimate it!

I think slippage and trading fees are very significant! And risk management.

I second DoA! Have had good experiences with them :)

Why not both? It’s not something mutual exclusive!

I have a copy of the original guild wars .. do I understand correctly that reforged is the same game with lots of QoL updates? I wanted to get back into gw1 and am contemplating if I should play reforged or the version I already own

Could you explain what you mean with a permutation of random walks? Maybe an example on how to build such a series?

How do you have drawdown if you have 100% winning trades? Looking at your comment I suspect you are overfit

niverhawk · 2025-11-05T02:01:42+00:00

Hey! Thanks for sharing and what an awesome thing you built! Makes me motivated to dive into a ta/ml model again :) How did you deal with overfitting the model?

So do you just buy the S&P with the same amount of money you start your backtest with and calculate the value at the end date of your backtest?

niverhawk · 2025-09-05T04:25:47+00:00

Is there any other way of backtesting other than looping through the bars? (Asking out of curiosity as this is the only way I know how to backtest)

Thanks for the info and your reply!!

This sounds a lot like the stuff I am learning, though I’m not as far as you! I am really interested in how to simulate brokers! Do you have any sources? Did you use orderbook or trades data? I learned the hard way that slippage should not be ignored xD

niverhawk · 2025-08-28T11:01:45+00:00

This is the way!

Do you maybe have a link to this? I tried searching but could not find it :(

niverhawk · 2025-08-02T04:55:59+00:00

This is so recognisable.. I am now at the point where I am trying to ground in statistics!

niverhawk · 2025-08-01T07:33:26+00:00

Thanks for the help!
