To accurately identify Order Blocks, follow these clear and practical steps:
#### 1. **Understand Price Structure**
Start by analyzing price movement and identifying:
- **Clear highs and lows**.
- **Sudden reversals** in direction, such as a large candle followed by strong price movement in one direction.
#### 2. **Look for Impulse Candles**
These candles represent sharp and quick price movement:
- If there is a **large green candle** moving upward, look for the **area that precedes it directly** – it may be a buy block.
- If there is a **large red candle** moving downward, the area preceding it may be a sell block.
#### 3. **Identify the price block before the surge**
- Focus on the candle or candles **that appear before the impulse candle**.
- This candle is often **large in size** or shows volatility before the price explosion.
- Mark this area as an "Order Block" using the rectangle tool or area on the chart.
#### 4. **Check previous interaction with the area**
- Has the price returned to this area before?
- Did the price bounce from it or pause at it?
- Each previous interaction enhances the reliability of this block.
#### 5. **Integrate analysis with volume (if possible)**
- Use volume data to verify high trading activity in that area.
- High volume indicates the intervention of large traders, supporting the hypothesis of a real order block.
#### 6. **Use integration between timeframes (Multi-Timeframe Analysis)**
- Check for the block on higher timeframes (such as 4 hours or daily).
- Blocks on higher timeframes are more influential than those on shorter timeframes.
#### 7. **Avoid very old blocks**
- Focus on blocks that formed during the last few weeks.
- Very old blocks may have been "absorbed" or lost their influence.
Using this method, you can accurately identify Order Block areas on the chart and integrate them with your strategy to look for higher probability trading opportunities.
