Order Blocks

Anchor supply and demand to the structural origin of displacement and retain the most important blocks by dynamic volume strength.

Indicator overview

Use Order Blocks to mark supply and demand areas where price may react. Green zones can act as potential support and red zones as potential resistance. SOFT, HIGH, and LOUD separate weaker areas from stronger ones, so fresh HIGH or LOUD zones deserve attention first.

They help plan pullback entries, invalidation boundaries, and the next target rather than a single exact execution price. Repeated tests gradually reduce a zone's remaining influence. If price breaks through it decisively, the area may become a Breaker, showing that former support and resistance have switched roles.

How to read the chart

SOFT / HIGH / LOUD cells
Three rolling-volume strength tiers, with LOUD representing the strongest blocks
Estimated remaining in-zone volume
OHLCV overlap-based estimate after retests and its relative share across visible blocks
Red / green volume bars
Bearish volume above and bullish volume below; both sum to 100%
Right-side Delta circle
Blue is bullish, red bearish, amber neutral; the number is Bull minus Bear percent
Dotted bounds and midpoint
Price boundaries plus the block equilibrium line
Gray BRKR zone
A broken block retained after support and resistance swap roles

Signal confirmation

Block confirmed

Displacement leaves the opposing source candle; Attuned also requires a break of preceding structure

Strength ranking

Prioritize HIGH and LOUD blocks, then inspect relative volume and the bull/bear split

Breaker and invalidation

The first boundary close can create a breaker; a second opposite close invalidates it

How to use it

  1. 01

    Prioritize LOUD/HIGH blocks, then compare relative volume and the bull/bear split

  2. 02

    Pair demand with bullish BOS and supply with bearish BOS instead of trading every touch

  3. 03

    Favor the first retest because repeated in-zone trading reduces the remaining-volume estimate

  4. 04

    Place risk beyond the invalidation structure with volatility room, not at an exact painted pixel

Avoid when:

Missing volume, locked-limit sessions, gaps across the full zone, and very illiquid symbols.

Parameter guide

Generation modeAttuned

Attuned emphasizes structural breaks and regular zones; Original exposes more candidates

Strength filterAll

Optionally keep High-and-above or Loud-only blocks

Lookback12

Checks structure before the source; displacement itself must complete within two candles

Displacement multiplier1.25

Minimum force required to leave the source candle range

Maximum blocks4

Maximum blocks retained by importance rather than recency alone

Block rangeWick

Use the full high-low range or candle body for block boundaries

Direction filterBoth

Show both sides, demand only, or supply only

Show breakersOn

Retain the first invalidated block as a support/resistance role-reversal zone

Order-block timeframeCurrent

Use current, 4× or 12× confirmation; higher-timeframe blocks wait for candle close
