Framework note: this playbook is a ruleset, not a guarantee. Validate execution with your broker feed, respect product-specific risk, and avoid sizing beyond your max planned loss.

Opening Range High / Opening Range Low from 09:30-09:45 ET (primary trigger).
PM High / PM Low from 04:00-09:30 ET.
Weekly High / Weekly Low as key weekly levels.
Use PM/Weekly levels as secondary targets and rejection zones.

Active Window: 09:45-13:00 ET.
Soft Close: after 13:00 ET, reduce size by 50% or stop.

Framework

Classify from the opening range first. Then deploy the matching setup.

Trend Day

Break outside OR level and stay outside
High relative volume on break
Retest and confirmation close
Use PM High/Low as first target zones
Ride the move while structure holds

Range Day

OR break attempt fails (fakeout)
Price rotates between OR and PM/Weekly boundaries
RES SELL at highs, SUP BUY at lows
Target midpoint then opposite edge

Setup A: Break / Retest

Long

Break above OR High
Retest holds
Enter on confirmation close
Stop below failed hold structure
First target: PM High, then extensions

Short

Break below OR Low
Retest cannot get back above the level
Enter on the next confirming close
Stop above failed hold structure
First target: PM Low, then extensions

Setup B: Rejection Trades

RES SELL

Touch/sweep OR High, PM High, or Weekly High
Clear rejection and no hold above the level
Target midpoint then lower boundary

SUP BUY

Touch/sweep OR Low, PM Low, or Weekly Low
Clear bounce and no hold below the level
Target midpoint then upper boundary

Risk Rules

Risk 0.5% to 1.0% per trade by default.
Position size = (Account x Risk%) / Stop Distance.
Max daily loss = 2R. Stop trading after limit hit.
Max attempts: 2 trades per side per day.
Hard stop required before entry. Mental stops forbidden.
No moving stop farther. No revenge entries.

Most traders fail from sizing and discipline errors, not from entry logic. Risk control is the edge.

Market-Specific Sizing Notes

Stocks: size in shares using stop distance to the fail level.
Options: size by max premium risk; prioritize liquidity and spread quality.
Futures: size by tick value x stop ticks x contracts.

No-Trade Filters

Any setup entered in 09:30-09:45 ET is invalid.
No clear interaction with PM/Weekly boundaries.
No clear hold or rejection at key levels.
Low-volume chop, small candles, random back-and-forth.
Headline volatility without structural clarity.
Confirmation candle too large (poor reward-to-risk).

Teaching Integrity Checks

No setup has 100% win probability. Expect losing trades even with clean execution.
Prioritize liquid symbols and practical spreads, especially for options.
If you cannot define entry, stop, and invalidation before entry, skip the trade.
If you are new, use simulated mode first and then scale into live size gradually.
