Structure drives the decision. The signal times execution.
Black Raven Futures is a structure-driven price-action framework. It organizes observable market behavior into a consistent process for deciding whether PB-2, Failed Breakout, or No Trade is appropriate.
Decision hierarchy: Context → Location → Setup → Signal → Execution → Management. A later step cannot repair weak context, poor location, insufficient room, or unacceptable risk.
Strategy specification: Developed for NQ (E-mini Nasdaq-100) futures using ORENKO 40/24/70 bars on NinjaTrader 8.
01
Define the market condition
First classify the environment as trending, ranging, or transitioning. Context determines which setup—if either—deserves consideration.
02
Map structural location
Evaluate prior extremes, swing points, range boundaries, breakout origins, support, resistance, and available room. Location gives a setup its meaning.
03
Confirm, execute, and manage
Only after context, location, and setup align does the completed signal define execution. Risk, invalidation, target, and management remain rule-based.
Testing & Evidence
Measured outcomes. Clearly stated limits.
Black Raven Futures tests defined indicator signals and market-structure events on historical NQ ORENKO data. The results describe the tested sample only and do not guarantee future performance.
Five-period historical observations
63.40% PB-2 success · 81.13% extreme-first testing
BRStrongTrend recorded 698 winners among 1,101 completed PB-2 observations. Separately, 2,545 of 3,137 completed structural corrections reached the frozen parent extreme before violating the frozen parent origin.

Experience translated into a repeatable framework.
Black Raven Futures is an independent futures-trading education and analytical-tools brand focused on NQ futures using ORENKO bars.
The Black Raven framework has been developed through 13 years of discretionary market experience, structured price-action study, and ongoing historical testing. Its two defined setups—PB-2 trend continuation and Failed Breakout—are designed to make market evaluation more structured, consistent, and repeatable.
The tools support trader judgment rather than replace it. The trader remains responsible for market context, structural location, available room, risk, execution, and trade management.
