From Rookie to Pro: How Order Blocks Saved My Trade (And My Account!)
Have you ever had a trade that almost cost you everything? ๐ I once saw what I believed was a textbook order block while trading . The setup was idealโhigh volume, clear support zoneโso I went all-in with leverage, dreaming of gains. Then, boom, the market crashed. My screen turned red, and I was about to be liquidated. Fortunately for me, my stop-loss triggered and rescued my account. That day showed me that you should always manage your risk, no matter how nice a setup looks!
Now, let's talk about order blocksโthose critical areas where significant players influence the market. Spotting valid ones can give you an advantage. Check out the image below.
Scenarios 1 and 3 display valid order blocks with "Take Out" and "Gap" conditions (green checkmarks โ ).
Learning this allowed me to trade more strategically and avoid a repetition of the fear. Have you ever utilized an order block? Or did a trade go sideways? I'd love to hear your #TradeStories , so please share them below! ๐ฌ and hit the like ๐ button if you like my story
