SteelyORBFlow

Captures the opening range, then watches for a clean breakout and grades it in real time. Instead of firing on every poke through the range, it runs a state machine that walks the session through clearly labeled phases — and only promotes a breakout to a PRIME signal when the structure earns it. When a break confirms, the projection levels and a live Strength Meter are already on the chart.

Reading the Tool

Follow the opening-range states

Visible range-building, breakout, and re-arm states, with projections and a strength reading.

Keep in mind: The state sequence controls when markers appear. Limiting signals does not eliminate false breaks or losses.

Signal Engine

A State Machine, Not a Line-Cross

The indicator moves through visible states, so where price sits in the session is always clear. Inside the range, the HUD also reads the live posture — Reclaim Low, Reject High, or Inside Range.

Stage
Meaning
⏳ Waiting for ORB
Pre-session; the range is not yet forming.
🔵 Building Range
The opening range is actively forming.
✅ Range Complete
Range locked; the breakout watch is live.
UP / DOWN BREAK — PRIME
The first confirmed break of the range.
RE-ARM UP / DOWN
Chart reset and qualified for a second leg — not a retail re-entry.

One quality signal per direction, an optional qualified second leg, and nothing else. The state machine is the product.

What It Does

What It Does

The opening range is the day's first agreement on value. The break of it is the day's first decision.

Most ORB tools fire the instant price crosses the line — and then fire again, and again, on every retest, until you've taken four trades on one move. The best ORB traders take one quality signal per direction and let it work.

SteelyORBFlow is built around that discipline. The state machine tells you when the range is still forming, when it's locked, when a break is PRIME, and when the chart has RE-ARMED for a legitimate second leg — not a retail re-entry.

SteelyORBFlow — On the Chart
Range Box
High, low, and mid lines drawn the moment the opening range locks, with configurable colors.
Range Projection Levels
The instant a break fires, a pullback entry line and three targets (T1/T2/T3) project from the range, color-coded by level — and optionally clear and redraw when direction flips, so stale levels never linger.
Strength Meter HUD
A live 0–10 conviction score from trend state, ATR, ADX, RSI, and EMA alignment, plus range high/low/mid, distance to each edge, the EMA filter state, momentum, ADX, and a Bar Bias line read from candle and volume behavior.
EMA Trend Filter
An optional EMA gate (auto-detected or manual period) restricts RE-ARM signals to the prevailing trend, with a minimum-ADX requirement so a second leg isn't armed into chop.
Screen Flash + Audio
Optional full-screen flash and custom WAV files for up-break and down-break events, plus email alerts.
Use Cases

How Traders Use It

Built for the trader who takes one quality signal per direction and lets it work — and who gets chopped up doing anything else.

🔒

One Signal, Then Let It Work

The PRIME-then-RE-ARM architecture surfaces a single confirmed break per direction, so a move produces one decision rather than four.

📊

Watch the Strength Build

The 0–10 meter blends trend, ATR, ADX, RSI, and EMA alignment, with posture readouts — Reclaim Low, Reject High, Inside Range — visible before the break.

🛡️

Qualify the Second Leg

RE-ARM only appears when EMA trend, a minimum-ADX floor, and optional Bar Bias all align — a legitimate continuation, not a retest re-entry.
