As a retail trader, you and I can’t control the market. We are talking about over $6 trillion worth of transactions daily in the forex market; how can we control that?
It’s the big boys known as smart money who control the market. Smart money refers to central banks, market makers, and institutional investors.
When they place an order, they don’t place it for thousands of dollars; they place it for millions and billions of dollars. That’s when the market moves, creating a situation known as order blocks.
The idea of an order block strategy is to ride along with the smart money. As mentioned earlier, as retail traders, we don’t control the market, so how about we do what smart money is doing?
We must create order blocks for the order block trading strategy. Bearish order blocks form when there is a large sell order by smart money. Bullish order blocks appear when there is a large buy order.
You can locate these zones at the end of a strong trend. After that, you just have to draw a rectangle on the origin of the new trend.
By plotting order block zones, we can move along with the big boys and place buy and sell orders.
You might be thinking, “How will these zones help me?”
Central banks and other market movers don’t place their orders at once. They wait and place their orders in regular intervals creating “blocks.”
They don’t place their orders at once because it can create high volatility and disrupt the market. That’s when the price returns to certain levels, so smart money can place their orders again, which presents us with an entry point.
So, now you know what order blocks are, we can move into the best order block trading strategies.

Indicator?

Timely Alert System for potential Trade Opportunity
We know how important it is for retail traders to get their hands on accurate market
information, and we’ve been working hard to make sure you can do just that.
But there’s a problem: how do you find the footprints of market makers? How are you
supposed to get an exact pin-point entry price?
We’ve got the answer: our new order block indicator, which gives you the exact location
of market makers on chart so that you don’t have to search blindly in the dark. With this
new indicator, finding footprints has never been easier!
3. Let’s first talk about the other conventional and fancy indicators like a web of moving
average lines. These indicators look very interesting at first look. But a simple buy and
sell arrow will not make you a profitable trader. Trading the Trillion dollar market is not so
simple.
Here's why conventional indicators fail to
accurately reflect the real market
Repainting indicators can make you think you are profitable, but these indicators lag
behind the real-time price action and generate false signals
The market can be unpredictable. If you’re a busy person, your trading psychology
and emotions will overcome your trading abilities without you realizing it. You need a
semi-manual trading system to overcome the psychological issues
Mathematical indicators only plot the historical data without considering market
conditions and can’t forecast the market accurately
Technical indicators won’t reveal the footprints of market makers. Leaving you at the
mercy of institutions, you need an accurate price action indicator
4. Most traders believe that fancy indicators are the best way to make profits trading. But in
fact, these indicators actually do more harm than good by creating false signals and
encouraging new traders to buy or sell
The shady secret behind the simple buy
and sell indicators on the internet
5. Let me reveal the secret of these false indicators
Look at this moving average crossover indicator. A crossover happens after a complete
price trend reversal, then after the reversal price shows a bullish crossover between two
moving averages. Now, most indicator seller’s on the internet shift the signal from left to
right by 4 to 5 candlesticks by programming. So, when a new trader looks at the chart,
the buy or sell signal will be exact on the point. But in the real market, this signal will form
after the complete trend reversal leaving you hanging in the losing trades.

7. t means these are repaint indicators that cannot be used for profitable trading. These
indicators look promising, but they have no worth in real markets.
Actually, all the mathematical indicators are lagging. It means they lag behind the price.
They show the past behavior of price only. And fail to give any information that can be
used to forecast the market accurately.
A trader needs a true price action indicator that can reveal the Footprints of big
institutions and banks. And We have solved this problem by making the most advanced
Order Block indicator. Our team has worked tirelessly to make this price action-based
indicator and profitable strategy. and still working to improve it with time.
8. Core Concepts of Order Block in Technical
Analysis
Order block means accumulation/distribution of market orders at a specific price range.
Banks and big Institutions deal with Godzilla-sized amounts of money and they cannot
execute their orders at once due to liquidity issues. Also, this decreases their profit
potential. That’s why they always distribute a big single order into chunks of small orders
at different price levels in a range to increase the profits. This also makes sure that their
order will get executed without disturbing the market
9. These chunks of orders of big banks and institutional traders within a ranging market
structure are called order blocks.
While trading we have to keep this fact in mind that 86% volume of the market is
controlled by banks and institutions. So having an idea about their trading footprint will
give us a huge competitive edge over other retail traders.
Two types of Order Blocks
There are two types of order blocks in technical analysis.
• Bullish Order Block
• Bearish Order Block
This is how order blocks help retail traders find the best prices to buy or sell with big
institutions. In short, this is the way to become a consistently profitable trader.
Bullish Order Block
If a bullish order block forms on the price chart, then we’ll place buy orders. A Bullish trend will form due
to large buy orders of banks and institutional traders, then we’ll follow them and will ride the trend.
10. Bearish Order Block
If a bearish order block forms on the price chart, then we’ll place sell orders at that price range. A bearish
trend will start from this order block due to large sell orders of institutions. This will let us ride the bearish
trend.
11. This is how order blocks help retail traders find the best prices to buy or sell with big
institutions. In short, this is the way to become a consistently profitable trader.
12. Purpose
Our main focus in trading is to identify those order block zone on the price charts using
technical analysis. If we find these order blocks then we can predict the next move of
market makers This will help us take more educated and high probable trades for
generating consistent profits.
It is a famous fact that Trend is your friend and you can only make a profit in the market
by following the market makers. And most of retail traders fail to do this because of
lagging indicators available in the market.
13. Working
In technical analysis, our focus as price action traders is always to find the repetitive
market patterns. These repetitive patterns help us find the sweet trading spots on the
price chart. Order block indicator works in a similar manner.
14. Let me explain a bit in detail…
As we know, the order block zone shows the price range/area where there are chunks of
market orders of central banks and big institutions. So, when these orders get filled then
price always repeats a specific pattern on the price chart before and after filling the
orders. This indicates to us that because of the huge influx of orders a new
bullish/bearish trend has started.
The order block zone forms when after a sideways price movement, a big trend
reversal happens, and the price gives big impulsive moves like in the image below.
15. There are two important parameters that shows the signs of order block formation.
• Price movement in a small sideways range
• Big impulsive price moves after breaking the small range
Order Blocks Price Pattern is a Natural
Phenomenon
Order block pattern is originated from the natural phenomenon like calm/silence before
storm.
A professional trader can see the activity of traders trading behind the chart by looking at
the candlestick chart.
16. Let me explain to you a little in detail.
You see the candlestick chart in the above image. The silence in the market represents
fear and small trading activity. Due to fear, low trading activity, and indecision in the
market, there is a small range of candlesticks on the chart. It shows the silence/calm in
the market.
17. Then after complete silence/calm, a big storm comes into the market. Storm means
market makers have decided their direction and are selling to decrease the price of a
specific trading asset. During a storm or impulsive wave, the price will increase/drop in
less time.
This is how nature and trading markets are relevant. And professional traders take
benefit from this natural behavior of the market.
8X Your Trading Account Using a Semi-
Manual Trading Strategy
Get high-Risk Reward Trade Setups
It does not mean you will wholly rely on the order block indicator to make trades, but we
have built a semi-manual trading system. In this system, you will get a price action
trading strategy along with the indicator.
It means indicator will find the high probability order block zones and then you will
apply our provided price action rules to decide and trade.
18. The winning ratio of a trading setup is always increased by confluence of other technical
tools. For example, if a support zone and order block zone both form at the same price
range then it means probability of bullish trend reversal will increase because the
prediction of both technical tools has been aligned up. That’s why we made a semi
manual system to increase the winning ratio of each order block zone.
19. Semi-Manual is always the most profitable system because it will eliminate many
psychological issues by doing the rough work for you and you will do the work only that
bring profits.
Live Trade Examples
Here are some examples of trades using the semi manual trading strategy and order
block indicator.
When a bearish order block zone form then it means market makers are selling the
currency from this order block zone. While when a bullish order block form then it means
market makers are buying the currency from that zone.
