MTF Order Block FinderAn Order Block is a special type of pivot point that satisfies the following requirement:
A Bull/Bear candle followed by X consecutive candles in the opposite direction.
Order Blocks are interesting areas that are frequently revisited and can be treated as Support/Resistance levels.
Often, you can see explosive price rejection of these areas via long wicks, high volume, and rapid price change.
Features
Choose from two themes:
- LIGHT: a classic Red and Green representing Bearish and Bullish OBs, respectively
- DARK: a clean Blue and White scheme
Choose from two drawing styles:
- LINE: three lines representing the High, Low, and Mid price levels of the OB candle
- BOX: a bounded area similar to the "rectangle" tool
Chose a custom timeframe:
- From 1 Minute (useful for Seconds interval) up to 1 Month
Note, this setting is experimental and choosing a timeframe that is extraordinarily large may not function properly.
Filter order blocks with two settings:
- Number of consecutive bars
- Minimum % change of the potential OB bar (default 0.25%)
Keep your charts clean and show only relevant OBs
- Maximum number of Bullish zones to show
- Maximum number of Bearish zones to show
FAQ
Q: How do I trade with this indicator?
A:Personally, I use a fast entry indicator to confirm Long/Short position when price is rejected. I set my SL and TP based on the current Zone and the next one, if available.
Q: Does this repaint?
A:Yes and this is okay! The "Bear" and "Bull" signals are not meant for taking positions, only showing which candle reveals the Order Block. The Zone is much more useful to us and can result in several successful trades in the near future when treated as a support/resistance area.
Q What's the winrate?
A:Hard to say - this isn't a standalone strategy and I haven't been able to properly backtest it quite yet.
Orderblocks
Order Block Finder (Experimental)The purpose of this experimental Indicator is to help identifying Institutional Order Blocks.
Often these Order Blocks can be observed at the beginning of a strong move, but there is a significant probability that these price levels will be revisited at a later point in time again. Therefore these are interesting levels to place limit orders (Buy Orders for Bullish OB / Sell Orders for Bearish OB).
A Bullish Order block is defined as the last down candle before a sequence of up candles. (Relevant price range "Open" to "Low" is marked)
A Bearish Order Block is defined as the last up candle before a sequence of down candles. (Relevant price range "Open" to "High" is marked)
In the settings the number of required sequential candles can be adjusted.
Furthermore a %-threshold can be entered. It defines which minimum %-change the sequential move needs to achieve in order to identify a relevant Order Block. If this is used, it makes sense to adjust it to the timeframe which is analyzed as of course higher timeframes usually produce bigger moves.
Channels for the last Bullish/Bearish Block can be shown/hidden.
In addition to the upper/lower limits of each Order Block, also the equlibrium (average value) is marked as this is an interesting area for price interaction.
Please note that you can optionally display a "Docu"-Label which shows some information about the indicator as a tooltip.
Remark:
As the identification of a relevant Order Block is only possible after the required number of subsequent candles has closed, this indicator "repaints" by definition. But I do not see this as an issue as the relevancy of the Order Blocks and the interaction of price with these levels usually only happens longer in the future anyway.
