Overview

The ORB cBot implements a sophisticated multi-session Opening Range Breakout strategy specifically designed for XAU/USD (Gold). This algorithmic trading system combines time-tested market concepts - including session-based range identification, consolidation breakouts, and turtle soup reversals - with advanced risk management features. The bot automatically identifies key market structures during major trading sessions and executes trades with precise entry/exit logic while protecting capital through dynamic position sizing and trailing stops.

Key Features

1. Multi-Session Base Range Identification

  • Automated Session Detection:
    • Tokyo Session (00:00-09:00 UTC)
    • London Session (09:00-16:00 UTC)

  • Smart Base Candle Capture:
    • Identifies the most recent 4-hour candle within active sessions
    • Automatically adjusts for market holidays/weekends
    • Visualizes base range with gold lines on chart

2. Advanced Pattern Recognition

  • CRT Formation Detection:
    • Finds consolidation-range-trigger (CRT) patterns at base boundaries
    • Identifies turtle soup reversal setups:
      • Bearish: False breakout above previous high followed by close below low
      • Bullish: False breakdown below previous low followed by close above high
  • Buffer Zone Flexibility:
    • Configurable buffer distance from base levels (default: 50 pips)
    • Adjustable to market volatility conditions

3. Precision Trade Execution

  • Entry Logic:
    • Enters on close of reversal confirmation candle
    • Executes at market prices (Ask for shorts, Bid for longs)
  • Stop Placement:
    • Stop loss 3 pips beyond signal bar extreme
    • Protects against immediate whipsaws
  • Take Profit Strategy:
    • Targets opposite end of base range
    • Captures full range expansion potential

4. Sophisticated Risk Management

  • Flexible Position Sizing:
    csharp
    double riskAmount = Account.Balance * (RiskPercent / 100.0);
    double riskPerUnit = stopLossDistance * Symbol.PipValue;
    double units = riskAmount / riskPerUnit;
    • Option 1: Fixed lot size (default: 0.02 lots)
    • Option 2: Risk-based sizing (% of account balance)
  • Daily Trade Limits:
    • Configurable max daily trades (default: 1)
    • Prevents over-trading during volatile conditions

5. Professional Trailing Stop System

    • Triggers when trade reaches specified profit (default: 30 pips)

    csharp
    double newStopLoss = position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy
    ? currentPrice - TrailDistancePips * Symbol.PipSize
    : currentPrice + TrailDistancePips * Symbol.PipSize;
    • Maintains fixed distance from current price (default: 20 pips)
    • Only moves in profitable direction
  • Efficient Implementation:
    • Processes in OnTick() for real-time adjustments
    • Only modifies stops when improvement possible

6. Comprehensive Visualization

  • Pattern Identification:
    • Orange diamond: First consolidation bar
    • Red star: Reversal signal bar
