OPENRANGE — opening-range reversal, automated

The first thirty minutes lie
more than any other half hour.
This trades the moment they get caught.

OpenRange watches your Robinhood watchlist for a fake breakout in the 9:30–10:00 opening range, buys the reversal once it's confirmed, and is flat again before the close. No trap, no trade — cash is a valid position.

How a trade gets made

One decision window, checked until it closes.

The strategy runs on a fixed schedule against Eastern market hours. Every step below is a real check OpenRange makes — nothing runs outside this window.

09:30

Range opens

OpenRange starts marking the high and low of your watchlist for the next thirty minutes — the opening range.

10:00

Trap or no trap

If price faked a break of the range and snapped back inside by 10:00, that's a trap. No snap-back, no trade — the range just held.

10:05

Entry check

On a confirmed trap, OpenRange buys a near-the-money option in the reversal direction, sized to your configured max per trade.

every 3 min

Position monitor

Any open position is checked against your stop-loss and the range's own targets — the middle of the range, then the opposite side.

15:55

Force-flatten

Whatever's still open gets closed. This strategy doesn't hold overnight, on principle.

Every decision, logged

Not a black box — a paper trail.

Traded or not, every run writes its full reasoning to your local dashboard. This is what that log looks like — sample rows below, not your account's data.

This trades real money, in your own account.

OpenRange places live option trades once you arm it. Options can expire worthless. Nothing about a backtested or simulated result predicts tomorrow's session.

You are solely responsible for the Robinhood account this connects to, and for funding, monitoring, and securing it. Nothing on this page or in the software is financial advice, and nothing here promises the strategy will be profitable.
