Please help with Opening Range Breakout Strategy

[OrderFlow]

I have been working for the past three days on figuring how I can completely automate this strategy to execute every single day after the high and low of the first 5 minutes of trading the ES futures and cannot figure it out. Basically here is my system I want to automate:

• Buy/Sell at market as soon as the price trades a tick above/below the first 5 minute bar high/low.
• Execute this trade every single day after the first 5 minutes.
• Target 1 is at +4 ticks
• Target 2 is at +8 ticks
• Time stop = 10 minutes after entry.
• Stop loss to break even after first target is hit.
• Stop trading after 1 execution of strategy per day.

I tried using your sample breakout strategy and I am only getting around 30 trades executed in strategy analyzer in a 6 month sample. I tried coding it in strategy wizard and the best I can get is for the trade to execute 2 minutes after the 9:35amEST bar close. I am not a programmer and am just beginning to learn C#. Also with strategy wizard and all else I've tried I cannot get it to even execute every day, let alone correctly automate the trade management side of it. I just want A completely automated ORB daily execution and trade management strategy to complement and offset some risk of my discretionary trading.

I will continue to work on improving my NinjaScript skills, but can anyone possibly help me with getting this setup and running? All help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you will need to debug it:

Hi Orderflow,

I was trying to develop a similar strategy but am really struggling.

Would it be possible for you to send me your strategy as a starting point?

Thanks a million in advance as i have hit a brick wall.
