Kardec Trader explains a three-timeframe opening range rule: mark the high and low of the first 15-minute candle at 9:30am Eastern, wait for a 5-minute candle to close outside that range, then use the 1-minute chart to enter on a retest of the key level.

Chapters

So 9:30am Eastern, when the market opens, you draw out the first high and low of the first 15 minute candle. This time frame is a 5 minute time frame. First step is to draw the 15 minute candle. The second step is to go over to the 5 minute time frame. We're looking for either a break above the 15 minute or we're looking for a break below. We're looking for the five minute candle closure because now this confirms that buyers are indeed overpowering sellers at this high. The five minute works because it is still enough precision and it shows me that buyers indeed are stepping in. And so second step, wait for that five minute candle above or below the 15 minute. And then the third step over here on the one minute all we're looking for the retest back into the key level, looking for continuation.
