ORB-FVG locked rules template two

09:30-09:40 range breakout + FVG retest

Template coded in system: No

No template for this model; generic orb_basic.yaml is not sourced from Nitro.

The trade in his words

Mark the high and low from 09:30 to 09:40 ET. Wait for a breakout of that range, then a fair value gap after the breakout; enter when price pulls back into the FVG. Stop above/below the FVG (middle-candle extreme); about 2R target.

A+ checks 40 tagged trades (no structured trade records yet)

A+ setup checklist (all must pass)

  1. O1 Mark the 09:30-09:40 ET high and low (no trading in those 10 minutes)
    IZcAcJXezJg @ 0:52 · “wait from 9:30 a.m. Eastern time all the way until 9:40 a.m. Eastern time every single day”
  2. O2 Strong breakout of the range that holds (not an instant reversal)
    uokh_hifgSU @ 3:33 · “it's a breakout with a strong candle and it's actually holding above it”
  3. O3 FVG forms after the breakout; enter on the pullback into it
    MJsEFxo1Apg @ 4:22 · “wait for price to break that level, wait for a fair value gap, and when price pulls back into it”
  4. O4 Stop beyond the FVG / middle-candle extreme; ~2R target
    IZcAcJXezJg @ 10:42 · “two risk-to-reward ratio will be and your stop loss is right above the falic gap”

01

Lock the rules before testing

Every rule is written in full as a parameter list (sessions, setup conditions, entry, stop, target, max trades, bias) with a version number and a date before any data is run. Nothing changes once testing starts. Any change is a new version, and that version starts again at rule 1.

Evidence: parameter list (draft)
Trade evidence
02

Fixed instrument and data

Name the instrument and the data file. Times are New York time, prices are rounded to the tick, and contract roll weeks are removed. The same cleaned data is used in every window.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
03

Tuning window: 1 Jan to 30 Apr (four months test)

This is the only window where settings can be adjusted. Rank settings by net profit after commission. Anything with fewer than 100 trades doesn't qualify. Keep the top 20 and lock them.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
04

Out-of-sample: 1 May to 31 Jul (three months test)

Run the locked settings once, exactly as they are. No changes after seeing the results. A setting passes if it makes a net profit and has a profit factor above 1.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
05

Holdout: 1 Aug to 14 Sep (about six weeks test)

Run only the settings that passed out-of-sample, unchanged, once. Passing here is the promotion gate. Failures are marked failed and stay visible.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
06

Commission out of everything

$5 per round turn on NQ comes off every trade before any figure is shown.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
07

A-plus gate

A trade only counts if it passes the trader's written A-plus checklist at entry: right session, liquidity swept, bias agrees, entry model confirmed, and stop and target where the checklist says. Failures are logged as B or C trades and kept out of the results.

Evidence: 4 checks
Trade evidence
08

Code forensic on real A-plus trades

Every known real A-plus trade from the trader's videos or posts is traced through the A-plus definition, each filter (session, bias, sweep, timeframe, news, caps), the Roman/ZZ entry path (trigger, confirmation, order type, expiry) and the fill. Record the exact step where each one dies. Misses are fixed in the next version, never the current one.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
09

Standard label

Every result shows, in order: test number, instrument, length in words, average trade, profit factor, win rate, equity curve; then average signed ticks, trade count and drawdown.

Evidence: not yet tested

No shortcuts

Windows run in order, with no extra out-of-sample passes and no retuning after a peek. Under 100 trades or under about three months is a diagnostic, not a pass.
