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
- Entering only when momentum and trend conditions align
This helps filter many false breakouts commonly seen during volatile session opens.
The strategy is designed to remain disciplined rather than constantly chasing trades.
