The API needs historical data; any API charges are your broker's. 2. Add the symbols you want scanned: equity, equity futures, index futures or index options. There is no limit on how many. 3. Set the opening range: a candle start time and a candle close time, plus a buffer in % or points. The buy trigger is the range high plus the buffer and the sell trigger is the range low minus the buffer. The breakout can be checked on the last traded price or on a candle close. 4. Choose the trade direction (both, buy only or sell only), how an option contract is picked (ATM points or closest premium) and the quantity (by quantity or lots, by capital or by risk per trade). 5. Set your exits and risk limits: stop loss, target, Max Profit and Max Loss, Protect Profit or trailing, and an exit time. 6. Start in Paper Trade mode, then switch to Live Trade when you are ready.

If you set the candle start time to 09:45:00 and the candle close time to 10:15:00, then it will take the highest high and lowest low between that time to calculate the range. - Buy [Trigger Price](https://myalgomate.com/glossary#trigger-price) = Range High + Range Buffer - Sell Trigger Price = Range Low – Range Buffer - For breakout, you can set it on either an [LTP](https://myalgomate.com/glossary#last-traded-price) basis or a candle closing basis. - Using Trade Direction, you can trade buy-side breakout only, sell-side breakout only or both. - You can set the max no of trades per script and the total no of trades across all the symbols. - You can also filter candles based on the range of the candle. For instance, if a maximum range of 20 points to 100 points is established, any candle with a distance between its high and low points that falls below 20 or above 100 will be excluded for the day. Strike Configuration: For strike configuration, there are two modes available: 1. Entry by [ATM](https://myalgomate.com/glossary#at-the-money) Points 2. Entry by Closest Premium ##### Entry by ATM Points 1. Assuming the underlying price of 35125, the “strike out” for both CE and PE is 0. Therefore, the CE strike selected is 35100 and the PE strike selected is 35100. 2. Assuming the underlying price of 35125, the “strike out” for both CE and PE is 100. Therefore, the CE strike selected is 35200 and the PE strike selected is 35000. 3. Assuming the underlying price of 35125, the “strike out” for both CE and PE is -100. Therefore, the CE strike selected is 35000 and the PE strike selected is 35200. ##### Entry by Closest Premium (CP) - With a closest premium price of 100, a type of “~”, and a premium match percentage of 20%, the option contract closest to 100 within the range of 80 to 120 will be selected. - When the closest premium price is 100, the type is “>=”, and the premium match percentage is 20%, the option contract closest to 100 within the range of 100 to 120 will be chosen. - If the closest premium price is 100, the type is “<=”, and the premium match percentage is 20%, the option contract closest to 100 within the range of 80 to 100 will be picked. - For selecting contracts based on premium, there is an additional parameter called “Premium is not matched then”. If you set it to “Avoid”, the strategy will show an error status if no options contracts fall within the range at entry time. If you set it to “Wait for match”, the strategy will keep checking every second until any contracts come within range and then take entry, delaying the entry in the meantime. If you don’t want to match the premium and want immediate entry, you can increase the premium match percentage and select “Wait for match”. - The premium match feature is not available on StockMock. If you want to match with StockMock, set the premium match percentage to 100 or higher and select “Wait for match”. Quantity Configuration: - For Equity, you can set quantity based on the number of shares/ Capital per Trade/ Risk per Trade - For Futures & Options, it will be based on the no of lots. You can enable/disable multiple types of exit criteria from below. - Time-Based Exit - User exits positions from software - Range High/Low: - For buy-side breakout, it will set the SL to the range low. - For sell-side breakout, it will set the SL to the range low. - SL & Target based on %/Pts: - You can enable SL/target based on the % or points of the entry price. - RR-Based Target - For Sell side trade: If you have set the RR-based target = 2, entry price = 100, and SL price = 102, then the target will be 96. Opp. for the buy side. #### Stop Loss trailing Trailing Logic: - We do not modify the SL price in the broker when trailing happens. It will store the trail SL price in the software and continuously monitor if the [trailing SL](https://myalgomate.com/glossary#trailing-stop-loss) is hit. Whenever trailing SL is hit, it will modify the [SL order](https://myalgomate.com/glossary#stop-loss-order) to market to exit. - Trailing will always happen in the direction of the trade. Example: Entry Type = Buy For trailing, if LTP = 100, Initial SL % = 10% Trailing X% = 5%, and Trailing Y% = 5%, then it will trail like following: - Initial SL = 100 – (100*10%) = 90 - Trail X Points = 100 * 5% = 5 - Trail Y Points = 90 * 5% = 4.5 - When LTP reaches 105, it will trail the SL to 94.5. - When LTP reaches 110, it will trail the SL to 99. - When LTP reaches 115, it will trail the SL to 103.5. And so on… Entry Type = Sell For trailing, if LTP= 100, Initial SL % = 10% Trailing X% = 5%, and Trailing Y% = 5%, then it will trail like following: - Initial SL = 100 + (100*10%) = 110 - Trail X Points = 100 * 5% = 5 - Trail Y Points = 110 * 5% = 5.5 - When LTP reaches 95, it will trail the SL to 104.5. - When LTP reaches 90, it will trail the SL to 99. - When LTP reaches 85, it will trail the SL to 93.5. And so on… #### Protect Profit There are the following modes available to protect profits and it’s available at the strategy level and portfolio level both: - Lock Minimum Profit - Trail Profits - Lock & Trail Profits ##### Lock Minimum Profit - Assuming the “If Profit Reaches” parameter is set to 10000 and the “Lock Min Profit At” parameter is set to 5000. - When the profit reaches 10000, the system will lock the minimum profit at 5000. - All positions will be exited when the MTM decreases to 5000. - This action is performed only once. ##### Trail Profits - Assuming the “Increase in Profit” parameter is set to 5000 and the “Trail Min Profit by” parameter is set to 3000. - The system will trail the minimum profit by 3000 for every 5000 increase in profit. - When the profit reaches 5000, the minimum profit will be locked at 3000. - When the profit reaches 10000, the minimum profit will be locked at 6000. - The locking of the minimum profit continues for subsequent increases in profit. ##### Lock & Trail Profits - This mode first locks in the profit at the “Lock Min Profit” value, then begins trailing profits. - For example, if “Profit Reaches” is set to 10000, and “Lock Min Profit At” is set to 5000, with an increase in profit of 5000 and a “Trail Min Profit by” value of 3000: - When your profit reaches 10000, the minimum profit will be locked at 5000. - When your profit reaches 15000, the minimum profit will be locked at 8000. - When your profit reaches 20000, the minimum profit will be locked at 11000, and so on.

A publicly known intraday method: it marks the high and low of a set period after the market opens and watches for the price to move beyond that range. This tool automates it with the settings you choose. ### Can I automate an opening range breakout on index options? Yes. Set Trade On to Index Options, choose the index, set your range candle start and close times and buffer, and pick strikes by ATM points or closest premium. The tool checks the breakout on LTP or candle close and places orders through your broker's official API, from your own computer or cloud machine. ### Does MyAlgoMate provide settings or backtest data? No. The tool automates a strategy that is available in the public domain. MyAlgoMate does not endorse it and provides no backtest data or standard settings — you decide every parameter. MyAlgoMate provides technology only, not investment advice. ### Which instruments can I trade? Equity, equity futures, index futures and index options (Finnifty excluded). It trades intraday. ### How is the range set? You set the candle start and close times — for example 09:15 to 09:30 gives the first 15-minute range — and a range buffer in % or points, added above the range high and below the range low. ### Can I test it before going live? Yes. Paper Trade mode shows live signals, an order book and live MTM without sending real orders to your broker. ### What do I need to run it? Your broker's API with historical data (any API fee is billed by your broker), and a Windows or Mac computer — or your own cloud machine. ### Which brokers does it work with? See the “Works with” list on this page — it comes straight from our live broker list, so it is always up to date. ### Do I need a static IP? Yes, for Indian equity brokers. Under SEBI's retail algo-trading rules, brokers accept API orders only from a static IP registered with them — one for each trading account. MyAlgoMate's [Virtual Trading Environment](https://myalgomate.com/products/virtual-trading-environment) gives each trading account its own static IP. ### How is it priced? Per trading account (client ID): you need one subscription for each account it runs on. The current plans are listed on this page, plus GST. // OVERVIEW #### ORB strategy / Opening Range Breakout algo for Equity, Equity Futures, Index Futures, and Index Options Indexes: Nifty | Bank Nifty | Fin Nifty | Midcap Nifty | Sensex MyAlgoMate's ORB tool automates the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) method with the range, entry, exit and risk settings you choose.
