https://optionalpha.com/?ytref=100 – In Part 3 of my Opening Range Breakout (ORB) behind-the-scenes series, I’m finally turning on my new bot LIVE for the first time. Like I’ve done in other videos, I’ve run dozens of variations to test different profit targets, ITM touch exits, VIX changes, etc. I’m excited to start incorporating this new ORB strategy into my other 0DTE
