Where a Bad Institutional Position Gets Repaired

The zone where an institution trapped on the wrong side tries to exit at breakeven, not at a loss.

Before you start: Assumes you already understand Order Blocks.

Part of the MY EDGE framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.

Institutions, like everyone else, sometimes fill orders at a poor price. A Mitigation Block is the zone where price returns to "correct" that inefficient execution before continuing on its original path — an important reference zone that gets mistaken for an ordinary Order Block far too often.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Mitigation Block?

A Mitigation Block is the zone where price returns to correct an inefficient institutional fill before continuing on its original path — a reference zone frequently mistaken for an ordinary Order Block.

How do you tell a Mitigation Block apart from an Order Block?

The distinction is why price returns: with a Mitigation Block, price comes back to correct inefficient execution, not because the zone is the true origin of the move, which is the case with an Order Block.

How should I use a Mitigation Block in a trade?

Treat it as a reference PD Array, not a primary signal — its probability only rises once supported by several forms of confluence at once, such as liquidity, displacement, and alignment with the higher timeframe.

Mitigation Block vs Breaker Block — how are they different?

Both are zones that form after an original move has already happened, but a Mitigation Block corrects inefficient execution from that move, while a Breaker Block forms specifically once an Order Block fails and structure shifts.
