ORB Retest Pro
Professional Opening Range Breakout automation for cTrader.
ORB Retest Pro is a disciplined session breakout cBot designed for traders who prefer structured, high-probability setups with controlled risk management.
Built specifically for:
- Prop firm traders
- Gold (XAUUSD) traders
- Index and session breakout traders
- Traders who value consistency over overtrading
Unlike aggressive high-frequency systems, ORB Retest Pro focuses on selective breakout-retest entries during active market sessions using trend confirmation, ATR-based protection, and built-in safety controls.
Strategy Overview
The cBot works by:
- Building the Opening Range (ORB)
- Detecting breakout direction
- Waiting for a controlled retest

This helps filter many false breakouts commonly seen during volatile session opens.
The strategy is designed to remain disciplined rather than constantly chasing trades.
