Order blocks
The lesson treats an order block as a specific opposing candle involved in a confirmed change in delivery after meaningful liquidity is taken.
Rules to keep
- Bullish: SSL sweep → down-close candidate → decisive confirming bullish close through it.
- Bearish: BSL sweep → up-close candidate → decisive confirming bearish close through it.
- Mark the candidate candle’s open as the main reference. The whole candle range may remain visible for context.
- The candidate stays provisional until confirmation. Evaluate the retracement, momentum and broader order flow.
- Define invalidation using the relevant block/swept extreme; reject cleanly violated or weak, wicky candidates.
