BOR + 08:28

BOR + TIME: Precision 1-Minute Opening Range Analysis
METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW
This indicator implements a proprietary time-based trading methodology that combines opening range analysis with precision timing algorithms designed exclusively for 1-minute charts during the New York trading session.

CORE ALGORITHM COMPONENTS
1. Bond Opening Range (BOR) Identification
- Captures the complete price range during 08:00-09:00 NY time
- Establishes the foundational trading range for the session
- Uses high-precision minute-level data to define exact boundaries

2. Critical Time Level Analysis (08:28 Candle)
- Identifies the 08:28-08:29 minute candle as a key reference point
- This specific timing represents a critical juncture before market open
- Captures the exact high/low range of this precise minute

3. Directional Bias Determination (09:00 Analysis)
- At exactly 09:00, compares current price position relative to 08:28 boundaries
- Above 08:28 High: Activates support-seeking mode (bullish bias)
- Below 08:28 Low: Activates resistance-seeking mode (bearish bias)
- Inside 08:28 Range: No directional bias established

4. Dynamic Standard Deviation Projections
- Uses the 08:28 candle range as the mathematical basis for standard deviation calculations
- Support Mode: Projects levels below 08:28 low using range multipliers (-1σ, -2σ, -3σ, -4σ)
- Resistance Mode: Projects levels above 08:28 high using range multipliers (+1σ, +2σ, +3σ, +4σ)
- Levels are active only during 09:00-10:30 trading window

UNIQUE FEATURES
Conditional Logic Engine
- Real-time directional switching based on 09:00 price position
- No static levels - everything adapts to intraday price action
- Eliminates noise by focusing on specific time windows

Precision Timing Requirements
- Requires exact 1-minute timeframe for accurate calculations
- Time-sensitive algorithm that relies on minute-by-minute analysis
- Optimized for high-frequency intraday trading decisions

Mathematical Framework
- Standard deviations calculated using actual candle range data
- Dynamic level spacing based on market volatility (08:28 range)
- Four-tier projection system for multiple target/stop levels

TRADING APPLICATION
Best Used For:
- ES, NQ, YM and other liquid index futures
- Active day trading during NY session (07:00-12:00)
- Scalping and short-term reversal strategies
- Intraday support/resistance identification

Signal Interpretation:
- Red lines represent potential reversal zones
- Direction determined by 09:00 vs 08:28 relationship
- Multiple standard deviation levels provide layered entry/exit points
- Time-restricted plotting ensures relevance during active trading hours

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS
- ONLY works on 1-minute charts - precision timing is essential
- Designed for New York trading session (futures markets)
- Most effective during high-volume trading periods
