Where Institutions Leave a Footprint Before Price Turns
The last candle before displacement — mark it wrong and every signal built on top of it is wrong too.
Before you start: No prior concept needed — just comfortable reading a candlestick chart.
Part of the MY EDGE framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.
Before price reverses, it almost always leaves a footprint — the last candle in the wrong direction, right before institutions trigger an aggressive move in the correct direction. We call that footprint an Order Block, and it's one of the most widely used (and most frequently misused) concepts in this methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Order Block in this methodology?⌄
An Order Block is the last candle in the "wrong" direction right before institutions trigger an aggressive, displacing move the other way — a footprint left behind before price reverses.
How do I actually trade an Order Block?⌄
Never enter on the first touch — wait for lower-timeframe confirmation such as a market structure shift and displacement inside the zone, and treat it as higher priority only when it aligns with higher-timeframe context and formed after liquidity was taken.
Order Block vs Breaker Block — what's the difference?⌄
An Order Block is the original footprint before displacement; a Breaker Block is what's left once that Order Block fails and price trades through it, becoming a reference zone rather than a fresh entry signal.
Do I need other concepts to trade an Order Block properly?⌄
Yes — an Order Block is never traded in isolation; it only becomes high-probability once supported by higher-timeframe context, liquidity, overlap with other PD Arrays, and lower-timeframe confirmation.
