Opening Range Breakout

Let the first minutes
draw the range.

The range builds from one-minute data at 09:30 New York time. Its high, low, midpoint and a dashboard stay on the chart, and breakouts, retests and failed breaks are marked as they happen once you switch them on.

  • Default range 09:30–09:45 New York, with daylight saving handled
  • Close, high/low or acceptance confirmation, retest and failed-break rules
  • Extra ranges B and C, projections, overnight and prior-session levels
  • 13 templates, from a quiet Start here to IB, overnight and London presets

Needs one-minute history and a Trading Hours template that contains the opening window; no Order Flow+ or Tick Replay. Statistics count events in your loaded history: a description of past sessions, not a forecast. ES and NQ presets differ only in retest tolerance: starting points, not optimised settings.

POC Candle

The busiest price
of every bar.

POC Candle marks the price where each candle traded the most, right inside the bar. Watch the bar still building move its POC as volume comes in, and highlight the POCs price has not traded back through.

  • Line, box or dot inside every bar
  • The developing POC in its own colour
  • POCs not yet revisited, highlighted
  • Optional price labels and tick grouping

Needs volume data from your connection. Historical bars need Tick Replay.

VWAP

Value since the moment
that matters to you.

Anchor VWAP to the session, the week, the month, the quarter, the year, a rolling window or a bar you pick, with up to three bands by volume-weighted standard deviation or by percentage.

  • Session, week, month, quarter, year, rolling or anchored bar
  • Up to three bands, filled or as lines
  • The previous period VWAP as a reference
  • A note on the chart when volume data is unreliable

You pick the anchor bar by counting bars back, like the slider here. Re-enter the number after reopening a chart.

Risk Manager

Set the limits
before you need them.

A maximum loss, a profit target and a trailing drawdown measured from the moment protection starts, plus blocked hours, news windows and a manual lock for your Tradovate USD accounts. When a limit is reached, the Risk Manager requests the broker's own account lock and reads the result back. Protection starts only after you review and confirm it.

  • Choose the account, set limits and blocked hours, review, start
  • A manual lock for a number of minutes or until the session ends
  • Broker lock requests, with the result read back
  • Armed protection keeps enforcing even if TapeCrest access lapses

Tradovate USD accounts only; Rithmic and simulation accounts are not supported. It never places, changes or cancels orders; a confirmed broker lock may close positions and cancel orders. Keep NinjaTrader connected: after a connection drop, no new lock starts that period. New protection needs active TapeCrest access.

Risk Manager guards the Tradovate accounts you trade directly. The Trade Copier adds copying from a leader to followers, with its own limits; each account is protected by one of the two at a time.

Questions

Free tools questions

Still unsure? Write to support@tapecrest.com.

Are they really free for good?

Yes. Each comes with a Free Lifetime licence: no card, no trial clock and no scheduled end date. You need a free TapeCrest account and the tool's licence key.

Why does a free tool need a key?

The key ties the licence to your account and your computer, so support can see your activation and help when something looks wrong. It also lets us count real installations instead of downloads.

Is the Risk Manager a cut-down version?

No. It is a complete tool for protecting the accounts you trade directly. The Trade Copier is a different job: copying a leader to followers, with limits on each account.

Which accounts does the Risk Manager support?

Tradovate accounts in US dollars, on a connection that supports broker account locks; start on a Tradovate demo account. Rithmic and simulation accounts are not supported in this version. Locks are requested from the broker and read back, and protection that is already armed keeps enforcing even if TapeCrest access lapses.

Do they work with the paid tools?

Yes, on the same chart or workspace as any TapeCrest product. One exception: an account is protected by the Risk Manager or the Copier, not both at once.

Does claiming a free tool sign me up for emails?

No. A free claim does not start a paid trial or subscribe you to marketing. Launch emails are separate and need your consent.
