**Concept:** Opening Range Breakout with full intelligence layer integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Components Used:**
|
||||
- ✅ Phase 1 (OMS): Order management and state machine
|
||||
- ✅ Phase 2 (Risk): Multi-tier risk validation, position sizing

|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy Logic:**
|
||||
1. Calculate opening range (first 30 minutes)
|
||||
2. Detect regime (trending/ranging/volatile)
|
||||
3. Calculate confluence score (6+ factors)
|
||||
4. Apply grade-based filtering (A/B grades only in conservative mode)
|
||||
5. Size position based on volatility and grade
|
||||
6. Execute with liquidity checks
|
||||
7. Manage trailing stops
|
||||
8. Track all trades for attribution
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
2. Day 3-4: Full module integration and unit testing
|
||||
3. Day 5: Backtesting and performance analysis
|
||||
4. Day 6-7: Documentation and refinement
|
||||
|
||||
**Success Criteria:**
|
||||

|
||||
- Backtest shows positive edge (Sharpe > 1.0)
|
||||
- All 30+ strategy tests passing
