100% KEY THINGS TO KNOW WHEN USING ORDER BLOCK STRATEGY
1. Confirm the Higher Timeframe Trend
- Trade only in the direction of the dominant HTF structure (4H, 1H).
2. Wait for a REAL Break of Structure (BOS)
- The OB is valid only if it caused a break of structure.
3. Ensure Liquidity Was Taken Before the BOS
- Equal highs swept → bearish OB.
- Equal lows swept → bullish OB.
4. Identify the Correct OB: The Last Opposite Candle
- Last down candle for buys.
- Last up candle for sells.
5. OB Must Create Imbalance (FVG)
- Strong OB leaves a fair value gap.
6. The OB Must Be FRESH
- Untapped OB = highest accuracy.
7. Strong Displacement (Momentum)
- Full-bodied candles and aggressive move.
8. OB Must Align With Premium/Discount Zones
- Discount = buys.
- Premium = sells.
9. Enter ONLY After a CHoCH
- Look for micro market structure break inside the OB.
10. Confirm With Rejection Patterns
- Engulfing, wicks, MS shift.
11. Proper Stop-Loss Placement
- Below demand OB / above supply OB.
12. Minimum RR: 1:3
13. Avoid High-Impact News
14. Multi-Timeframe Alignment
- 1H → direction
- 15M → precision
- 5M → entry
15. Only Trade OBs That Break Major Structure
- Not small pullbacks.
