Floor 3: Imbalance

Order Block

Order Block asks you to tap one candle: the last opposite-colour candle before a displacement move that breaks structure. Look-alike candles sit nearby, each missing one condition. It teaches what does and does not qualify as an order block, so the label stops being applied to every candle before a move.

What it teaches

What does and does not qualify as an order block.

  • The three conditions of an order block: a structure break by a body close, a displacement candle in the leg, and the last opposite candle before it.
  • Checking displacement by measurement, not by eye.
  • The zone is the full range of the candle, wick to wick.
  • Rejecting candles that only look the part.

How a round plays

  1. A chart shows a strong leg that closes through a swing, with look-alike candles elsewhere. Early levels mark the displacement candle and the break for you.
  2. Tap the candle you think is the order block. Arrow buttons step one candle left or right.
  3. Press "Check with the Lens". The Lens draws the block across the full high to low of the candle and marks the structure break it led to.
  4. The look-alikes are named with their reason: no displacement in the move after them, or no structure break.
  5. A run is eight charts and takes about four minutes.

How it is graded

The rule here: for a body-close structure break whose leg contains a displacement candle, the block is the last opposite-colour candle before the first displacement candle, at most five candles back and never past the broken swing. One candle is correct.

The honest note

The name suggests large orders sit in that candle. That is the theory, not something a price chart can show. The game grades the candle rule and nothing more.
