The edgeful ORB alternative you pay for once
edgeful is a statistics platform for day traders: its essential plan, $49 a month or $399 a year, lists 150+ reports and 50+ TradingView indicators, with no free trial and no refunds on completed charges. Its ORB indicator, an invite-only TradingView script, draws the opening range, labels each day's break and reads edgeful's in-play data. Opening Range Desk Pro is one opening-range tool: it grades every setup A, B or C, marks the next key level, can bank half at TP1 and puts the whole plan in each alert, with its readable source, $49 once. edgeful gives you statistics across many setups and tickers; ours runs one rule on your chart and records it.

| Pricing model | essential: $49 a month, or $399 a year billed annually; all access: $299 a month or $2,399 a year. No free trial: "all 3 plans (essential, pro, and all access) charge from day one." | $49 once for Opening Range Desk Pro, not a subscription. Academy Premium and the Complete Suite include it. |

| The ORB indicator | Per its October 2025 article: the opening range from the first three 5-minute candles, for New York, London, Tokyo/Asian or a custom session; each day labelled breakout, breakdown, double break or no break; extension levels at multiples of the range; edgeful's in-play data on the chart. | The range, two closes beyond it to enter, the plan (entry, stop, TP1, TP2) and its result; a grade A, B or C (in play, size, early); yesterday's, overnight and last week's levels with the room to the next one in R; half off at TP1; the default 09:30–09:45 New York range, on any market whose session includes it (the library desk takes the window and the timezone as inputs) |
| Statistics | Probability-based reports "for setups like gap fills, ORB, initial balance, engulfing candles, and more". | Your own chart's record, split by grade, and a Strategy Lab that puts the desk's result beside TradingView's fills after your costs. No report library like theirs. |
| How you get it | Subscribe, link your TradingView username in edgeful's dashboard, and the indicator appears under "invite only" in TradingView's indicators. | Download the readable source and add it in TradingView's Pine Editor; a Basic plan allows two indicators per chart, enough for the Pro desk and the Radar. |
| Refunds and cancelling | "edgeful does not offer refunds on completed subscription charges, per our terms"; billing errors are fixed. Cancelling stops the next payment, and access runs to the end of the period. | 7-day refund before you download |

Is Opening Range Desk Pro a replacement for edgeful?
Only for the opening range. edgeful measures many setups across many tickers; if you want those odds, that is its job. Ours runs one opening-range rule on your own chart: it grades the setup, plans the trade, sends the alert and records the result.
Does Opening Range Desk Pro repaint?
No. Every decision and alert reads closed candles, so what the chart shows at a close stays as it was.
How we check an indicator for repainting
- Freeze. Screenshot the right edge with the version, inputs and time visible.
- Reload. Let several bars close, reload the chart and compare the same window.
- Replay. Step through and note when each marker first appears, not just where it is drawn.
- Alert receipts. Set once-per-bar-close alerts and compare their times with the chart.
With the source open you can also look for higher-timeframe requests that read ahead and markers plotted into the past. The full method is our 20-minute repaint audit. Run it on edgeful's tools and on ours.
