Source Code
The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.
Overview
ES Professional Fade compares the current market open with the prior session close to identify opening gaps, qualifying entries using minimum gap percentages, index point minimums, and Average True Range thresholds. A market breadth filter tracks NYSE TICK extremes to prevent fading strong momentum. The strategy manages exits through predefined take-profit and stop-loss targets, a maximum holding period in bars, or an end-of-day cutoff. It plots directly on the main price chart.

- Configurable 5, 15, or 30-minute opening range tracking

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
