FAQ
What is ORB in day trading?
ORB means Opening Range Breakout and uses early-session range levels to time entries.
How do you avoid false ORB breaks?
Use volume confirmation and avoid low-liquidity periods where price quickly mean reverts.
What if price re-enters the opening range?
That is a common invalidation signal and usually means the breakout failed.
