The Challenge
You have a session opening range strategy that works in your head or on paper, but executing it manually is exhausting. You miss entries because you blinked, exit too early because of fear, or hold too long because of greed. Day traders who want a simple, rule-based strategy that trades the most predictable move of the day — but only if the execution is flawless. That is where automation comes in.
What I Offer
I develop custom NinjaTrader session opening range bots that execute your strategy with machine precision. Calculates the high and low of the first 15 or 30 minutes of RTH. When price breaks above the range with volume, enters long. When price breaks below, enters short. Targets are based on the range width multiplied by a factor.
Timeframe: 5-15 minute charts
Risk profile: Stop at the opposite side of the opening range. Reward target typically 1.5-2x the range width. Win rate 45-55%.
Every bot includes comprehensive risk management, session filters, and real-time monitoring via Telegram alerts.
Strategy Coding
Your session opening range rules translated into clean, optimized NinjaScript (C#) code.
Backtesting
Tested across years of historical data on 5-15 minute charts with realistic slippage.
Risk Management
Stop at the opposite side of the opening range. Reward target typically 1.5-2x the range width. Win rate 45-55%.
Session Filters

Real-Time Alerts
Telegram and email notifications for every trade entry, exit, and daily summary.
Parameter Optimization
Walk-forward optimization to find robust parameter sets without overfitting.
NinjaTrader Session Opening Range Bot Development
Session Opening Range trading is one of the most popular approaches for futures traders, and for good reason. Trading the directional move that occurs after the first 15-30 minutes of a trading session. When automated properly, a session opening range bot can execute this strategy 24 hours a day across multiple sessions with perfect discipline.
Opening Range Breakout: The First Trade of the Day
The opening range breakout (ORB) is one of the oldest and most reliable trading strategies. The premise is simple: the first 15-30 minutes of the regular trading session establish a range that reflects the market's initial reaction to overnight developments. When price breaks out of this range, it often leads to a sustained directional move for the rest of the session.
My NinjaTrader ORB bot automates this classic strategy with modern enhancements.
How the Bot Works
- Pre-market analysis — Before RTH open, the bot analyzes overnight range, gap size, and pre-market volume to set expectations for the day
- Range calculation — At 9:45 AM ET (or your chosen time), the bot locks in the opening range high and low
- Breakout detection — Monitors for a sustained break above or below the range with volume confirmation
- Entry and management — Enters on the breakout, sets a stop at the opposite side of the range, and targets 1.5-2x the range width
- One trade per day — The bot takes maximum one trade per session, reducing overtrading
Key Indicators Used
This strategy relies on: Opening Range High/Low, Volume, ATR, Session Clock, Gap Analysis. I configure and optimize each indicator for your specific instrument and timeframe to maximize edge.
Risk Management
Stop at the opposite side of the opening range. Reward target typically 1.5-2x the range width. Win rate 45-55%.
Additional protections include maximum daily loss limits, maximum consecutive loss circuits, equity curve trading (optional), and end-of-session auto-flatten.

Technologies & Tools
Results That Speak
Client project: A futures trader with a profitable manual session opening range strategy on 5-15 minute charts needed automation to trade multiple sessions. I coded the strategy in NinjaScript, backtested across 3 years of data, and deployed live after 4 weeks of development.
Result: The bot now trades automatically across 2-3 sessions per day. Monthly consistency improved significantly, and the trader uses freed-up time to develop additional strategies.
