DAX Opening Range Levels for Intraday Breakout Trading

Article ProRealCode

Summary

The indicator marks the high and low during the first ten minutes of the DAX session and a corresponding ten-minute period around the US market open. It presents those range extremes as potential intraday support and resistance levels, with breaks beyond them treated as possible breakout opportunities. The displayed levels are associated with the DAX morning and the later Wall Street opening window.

The document describes a simple opening-range framework rather than a fully specified strategy. It does not explain entry confirmation, stop placement, position sizing, exits, or how to handle false breaks. No historical testing or performance evidence is provided, and the instructions depend on correctly configuring the two indices and the relevant time settings. The proposed levels can therefore serve as reference points for further analysis, but the text does not demonstrate that trading their breaks is profitable or robust.

Key ideas

  • The indicator records the high and low of two opening periods.
  • Those range extremes are treated as potential support and resistance.
  • A move beyond an opening range is suggested as a possible breakout signal.
  • The document supplies no rules for risk management or trade exits.
  • No backtest or performance evidence is reported.
