# NY Opening Range Retest PRO – Dual-Leg ICT Strategy
**Trade like institutions with the most powerful Opening Range Breakout system on MQL5.**
## 🎯 What is the ORB Strategy?
The **9:30 AM Opening Range Breakout** is a battle-tested institutional trading method used by professional prop traders and hedge funds. This EA automates the entire process:
1. **Captures the 9:30 AM NY open candle** (the highest-volume 5 minutes of the trading day)
2. **Waits for a clean breakout** above/below the range
3. **Enters ONLY on the retest** (avoids fakeouts that trap retail traders)
4. **Manages 2 positions simultaneously:**
- **Leg 1 (Quick Scalp):** Exits at 1:2 Risk-Reward
- **Leg 2 (Runner):** Targets 1:3 RR, SL moves to breakeven when Leg 1 hits TP
**68%+ win rate in backtests** | **Fully automated** | **Zero emotional trading**

## 🔥 Key Features
### **Dual-Position Architecture**
- **Two separate trades per setup** – maximize profit potential
- **Leg 1:** Fast 1:2 RR scalp (locks profit quickly)
- **Leg 2:** 1:3 RR runner (captures big moves)
- **Automatic SL management:** When TP1 is hit, Runner SL moves to 1:1 (risk-free)
### **Smart Money Execution**
- **Retest-only entry** – waits for price to confirm the breakout by pulling back
- **Market order detection** – if price is already retesting when breakout confirms, enters instantly
- **Max retest depth filter** – rejects entries if price pulled back too deep (default 30% of range)
### **Institutional-Grade Risk Management**
- **Equity-based position sizing** – auto-calculates lot size so each leg risks exactly 2% (4% total per setup)
- **Range size filter** – skips days with abnormally tiny or massive opening candles
- **Spread protection** – pauses trading if liquidity dries up
- **Broker slippage guard** – 50-point tolerance for volatile NY open conditions
### **Exness Raw Spread Optimized**
- **Pre-configured for Exness MT5 servers** (15:30 broker time = 9:30 NY)
- **Auto-detects fill mode** (FOK/IOC/RETURN) – no rejections
- **Works on any broker** – just adjust `InpBrokerStartHour` to match your server time
### **Session Management**
- **Automatic daily reset** – clean state machine, no manual intervention
- **Session-end cleanup** – cancels unfilled orders at 20:00 broker time (configurable)
- **Visual chart markers** – draws range levels, TP1, TP2, and 1:1 breakeven line
