Open Drive Retest

Live

Waits for the opening range break, then enters on the first pullback into the price gap the break leaves behind.

The rules, in plain words

  1. Uses the same 15-minute New York opening range as Open Drive.
  2. Needs a 5-minute candle close outside the range first.
  3. Places a limit order at the edge of the price gap (fair value gap) the breakout leaves.
  4. Stop goes under the candle that made the gap, widened to at least 15 points.
  5. Fixed 2 to 1 target. At most 2 trades a day.
  6. A trend check on the 200-period average is used when price is near it.
Change log

What we changed, and why.

We keep tuning Open Drive Retest. Every change is dated, newest first.

  1. Two baseline versions: the 5-minute gap the break leaves, and a 1-minute gap inside the opening range. New York only, no new entries after 12:00 PM ET.

    WhyThe teaching source and the owner's own version differ. The rule is to test both and let the results decide.

  2. Round 1 independent backtest finished. Kept for round 2.

    WhyRoughly flat as written. A 1-hour trend check improved it on years the tuning never saw. It is very sensitive to how fills and costs are charged, so round 2 re-tests it carefully.

  3. Rebuilt as its own standalone strategy file with the shared LT/9 settings layout and risk engine.

    WhySo every strategy can be tested on its own and run as a separate process, with the same risk controls and the same settings panel everywhere.
