ORB 369 - Opening Range Breakout

The ORB 369 is a professional-grade momentum indicator designed to capture the volatility of the New York market open. While many Opening Range Breakout (ORB) scripts simply draw lines, this script integrates time-segmented price action with Supply and Demand (S/D) theory to filter out "fakeouts" and identify high-probability institutional entries.

💡 The Core Concept: Why 3-6-9?
The strategy is rooted in the "Market Open Volatility" principle. The first 15 minutes (9:30–9:45 AM EST) represent the period where institutional orders are processed and "price discovery" is most aggressive.
The Range: We define the 15-minute high and low as the "Battlefield."
The 369 Logic: This script focuses on the 3rd 5-minute candle of the session (completing the 15m range) and monitors the subsequent 5m and 15m cycles for a definitive trend shift.

🛠️ How It Works
The script utilizes Pine Script v6 high-precision time-tracking and state-handling to ensure accuracy even on historical data.
1. Dynamic Session Anchoring
Unlike static indicators, this script uses America/New_York timezone anchoring. It identifies the Opening Range (OR) regardless of your local time, ensuring you are aligned with the NYSE floor traders.
2. Supply & Demand Detection
The script doesn't just look at the high/low; it analyzes the micro-structure within that 15-minute window.
It identifies unmitigated zones (areas where price moved so fast it left "imbalances").
If a breakout occurs but price immediately hits an internal S/D zone, it warns the trader of a potential "Look Above and Fail" scenario.
3. Breakout Confirmation (5m Logic)
A common mistake is entering on a "wick." This script uses Closing Logic:
Bullish Signal: A 5-minute candle must close entirely above the 15m High.
Bearish Signal: A 5-minute candle must close entirely below the 15m Low.
The script then repaints the candle body (defaulting to Blue/Red) to provide an instant visual cue that the "Breakout is Confirmed."

📈 How to Use It
Wait for the Box: At 9:45 AM EST, the script will automatically lock in the High, Low, and Midpoint (Mean) of the range.
Monitor the Midpoint: The Midpoint acts as the "Line in the Sand." If a breakout occurs but price stays near the Midpoint, the trend is weak. If price stays in the upper half of the range, the Bullish bias is stronger.
The Entry: Wait for the Candle Color Change. A blue candle above the range suggests a long entry; a red candle below suggests a short.
Supply/Demand Zones: If the script highlights a "Demand Zone" at the bottom of the range and price bounces off it before breaking the top, this provides a "double-confluence" setup.
