- Before you run it
- a market whose aggregated prints the terminal has, from before the day's open, or a dataset holding aggTrades.
- What it does
- asks the terminal to run the strategy on that market; once running it places orders on the account the person chose.
- How to run it
- Add script on the Market Replay window or the title bar's script icon; Insert strategy in the Datasets window (backtest).

// Purpose: the opening-range breakout. The first 30 minutes of the UTC day set a range; a stop order rests above it and another below, // and whichever price trades through first enters, with the other side of the range as its stop and the target one range away. // The levels are made of the day's own prints and are unknown until the range is over -- and unknown, never invented, for a day the // terminal did not see from its open. // // RANGE `opening_range_high` / `opening_range_low` of the first `minutes` minutes of the UTC day. // ENTRY a buy stop at the high, a sell stop at the low (`OrderType.Stop`), once the range is over. // EXIT the stop at the other side of the range, the target one range away; both ride on the stop order itself (`Protect.Bracket`) // and are attached to the position the moment its trigger fills. // // HONEST NOTE: written to the specification and checked that it compiles and hands over a strategy; its edge has not been measured. // Category: host // Permissions: orders.submit // Preconditions: a market whose aggregated prints the terminal has, from before the day's open, or a dataset holding aggTrades. // Side effects: asks the terminal to run the strategy on that market; once running it places orders on the account the person chose. // Run: Add script on the Market Replay window or the title bar's script icon; Insert strategy in the Datasets window (backtest). lang ">=0.2.0, <0.3.0"; host "ttt" ">=0.1.13, <0.2.0"; requires "features" ">=0.1.8, <0.2.0"; requires "trade" ">=0.1.0, <0.2.0"; strategy opening_range_breakout(minutes: Int, size: Quantity) version "1.0.0" { let px = features.price(features.Source.AggTrades); let high = features.opening_range_high(features.Source.AggTrades, minutes); let low = features.opening_range_low(features.Source.AggTrades, minutes); let range = high - low; rule break_up when exposure_is(Exposure.Flat) && px < high => order(Side.Buy, Intent.Open, OrderType.Stop(high), Sizing.Fixed(size), Protect.Bracket(high + range, low)); rule break_down when exposure_is(Exposure.Flat) && px > low => order(Side.Sell, Intent.Open, OrderType.Stop(low), Sizing.Fixed(size), Protect.Bracket(low - range, high)); flatten_on_stop; } fn main() -> Result<Unit, Error> { let run = trade.run(opening_range_breakout(30, qty(0.01)))?; print(run.name + " on " + run.target + ": " + run.state); return Ok(()); }
