How to Use Order Blocks in Trading

Order blocks are areas on the chart where banks and institutions have placed large orders, causing strong moves in price. These zones often act as key support or resistance and can signal where price is likely to react again.

To use order blocks:

1. Identify the zone – Look for the last bullish candle before a strong bearish move (bearish order block) or the last bearish candle before a strong bullish move (bullish order block).


2. Mark it out – Draw the zone around the body or wick of that candle.


3. Wait for price to return – Instead of chasing moves, wait for price to retrace back to the order block.


4. Trade with bias – If the market is bullish, look for price to respect bullish order blocks (buy). If bearish, use bearish order blocks (sell).



Order blocks give you high-probability entry zones, but they work best when combined with overall market structure and confirmation signals.
