You don’t need to predict the FTSE 100 to profit—you need a repeatable morning routine that defines risk, filters noise, and executes cleanly. This book gives you a complete operating system to trade the 8:00 a.m. London open with a 5-minute Opening Range breakout, ATR-based buffers, VWAP confirmation, and strict risk controls so your losses stay small and your winners pay fast.
Why you need this now
If you’re tired of indicator clutter, news whipsaws, and “strategies” that crumble under real spreads and slippage, this guide solves the pain: one setup, one window, tight rules. You’ll stop overtrading, ditch FOMO, and replace guesswork with pre-staged brackets, server-side OCOs, and a Spread Gate that keeps you out when friction is high. In short: less noise, more R.
The promise: a calm edge at the 8 a.m. London open
Define a 5-minute Opening Range (08:00–08:05) on the instrument you trade (CFD, spread bet, or futures).Enter with buffered stop orders (0.10–0.20 of 5m ATR) and place your stop beyond the opposite OR edge.Take partial profits at +1R; manage a runner by time (flat by 08:45), structure (1-minute swings), or VWAP leash.Use context dials (GBP trend, Brent/copper tone, DAX/STOXX futures) to focus on higher-quality breaks.Enforce news and spread filters to avoid the worst traps.
“You’re not betting on the day’s trend. You’re leasing a small slice of momentum when the odds are most favorable and the cost of being wrong is cheapest.”
What’s inside (and immediately usable)
A clean, friction-aware setup
Build a two-panel chart (5m/1m) with OR, VWAP, ATR, and the daily open—nothing else. Install a Spread Gate (≤1.5× baseline) and a delay rule after red-tier releases. Optional 1-minute close confirmation reduces wick traps on crosswind days.
Risk management that compounds quietly
Convert everything to R (a fixed per-trade risk unit). Use daily guardrails (two-strike stop or -2R), a green-day protector (+2R and done), weekly circuit breakers, and a rational scaling plan that increases risk only after the stats prove it.
Proof before size
Backtest with bar replay (no code). Log OR%ADR, time-to-+1R, MAE/MFE, spreads at trigger, and VWAP holds. Forward test live on tiny size, then scale by ratchet—not emotion—when your Profit Factor and expectancy justify it.
Systemize in 30 days
Run a 15-minute pre-open checklist (T-15 to T+00), prebuild long/short OCO brackets, and use lockouts to prevent tilt. SOPs for execution, disruptions, and reviews turn “good intentions” into repeatable behavior.
