Academy / Module 2: The Setup Library

2.1 · The Opening Range Breakout

LESSON 10 OF 23~13 MIN READUPDATED AUG 2026

The Opening Range Breakout is the most-studied setup in intraday trading, one of the few with published academic evidence behind it, and the first play in this library because it packages everything from Modules 0 and 1 into a single repeatable decision. It is also widely mistaught. This lesson gives you the version practitioners actually publish, the honest math of how it pays, and the two failure modes that eat beginners.

THE REST OF THIS LESSON IS IN VIP

Modules 2 to 4 moved inside Runner Labs VIP

Modules 0 and 1 stay free and always will. The setups, the execution and risk module, and the mental game now live inside VIP, alongside the live alerts, the premarket watchlist and the nightly board.

Every setup lesson is built on a real call from our own board, with the chart attached, including the ones where our exit rule took us out early and the name kept running without us.
