Understand ORB15 early reclaim
Follow a failed opening-range break, a confirmed reclaim, and the ADBE alert from entry reference to exit request.
Owner: Fizz product team · Last reviewed: September 30, 2026
The setup in four steps
First, price closes above the opening-range high. Next, a completed candle closes below it. Price then closes above the range again. A later completed candle must break the frozen earlier high and meet the confirmation rules. This is the ORB15 early-reclaim strategy, not the tight-base breakout strategy.
Freeze the first 15-minute range
ORB means opening range breakout. This configuration uses completed one-minute candles from 9:30–9:45 a.m. Eastern, or 8:30–8:45 a.m. Central. It requires the complete opening window. Its high remains fixed for the session; later candles do not move that boundary.
Remember the failed attempt
After the first close above the range, Fizz tracks the highest candle high through the candle that closes below the range. That failure freezes the attempt high. The next close above the opening range starts a watch. The lowest low from failure through that reclaim candle becomes a frozen structural reference.
Wait for the confirmed trigger
A later candle must close at least $0.01 above the frozen attempt high. The setup requires at least two consecutive closes strictly above the opening-range high. The trigger must also close within the top quarter of its own high-to-low range. A wick above the level or an unfinished candle is insufficient.
When the watch stops
A close below the opening-range high cancels the watch. A close exactly on the high resets the consecutive-close count. The watch allows ten subsequent candles, including a valid trigger on the tenth. Missing minutes cancel active watches. A new attempt needs a fresh breakout, failure, and reclaim sequence.
Read volume and extension as context
Relative volume compares the latest three-minute window with the same clock window over the prior 20 scheduled sessions. Missing history makes that comparison unavailable. The configured 1.5 threshold is context, not a mandatory entry filter. A trigger more than 0.5 times the preceding ATR above the breakout level receives an extended label. ATR measures recent price range.
ADBE: the delivered entry reference
On September 30, 2026, Fizz recorded the reclaim signal at 9:31 a.m. Central and its Discord receipt at 9:31:09 a.m. The alert identified the ADBE October 2 $237.50 call with a $4.07 entry reference. Its public strategy name was Harbor Pine 825e7b. A delivered reference price does not establish a purchase or a subscriber fill.
ADBE: the requested exit notice
At 10:16:08 a.m. Central, the operator requested an exit notice for this alert. The quote timestamp was 10:16:07 a.m.: $4.95 bid and $5.30 ask. The notice said “Exit requested. Fill not confirmed.” It placed no order and recorded no sale. The separate $240 call alerts belong to the tight-base strategy.
Calculate the indicative change
The bid-based comparison is ($4.95 − $4.07) ÷ $4.07 × 100 = 21.62%. The $0.88 difference equals $88 per standard 100-share contract before fees. This is a historical quote comparison, not realized profit. The bid, ask, and entry reference are different price observations; none confirms the user’s execution.
Keep Strategy, Risk, and Delivery separate
Strategy identifies the completed reclaim. Risk controls any modeled entry and exit. Delivery sends the alert. At review, this profile enabled notifications and simulation, with automatic buying off. The simulation risk included an 18% hard stop, profit protection starting at 10%, a 40% profit target, and time-based exits. Those rules do not turn this operator exit request into a fill.
Review the next alert
Check the exact strike, expiration, alert time, and strategy before comparing prices. A second setup may use the same ticker or contract with a different reference entry. This ADBE example explains one notification sequence. It does not establish a strategy win rate, expected return, or confirmed trade outcome.
