Updated T4T High Probability Order Blocks
Most order block indicators mark every last opposing candle before a move. This one doesn't. My HP-OB indicator only plots an order block when the full sequence that give OB its meaning is present - liquidity taken, displacement, and a FAVG - so what's on your chart is a shortlist, not a wallpaper.
How an OB qualifies
A bullish OB requires three consecutive candles to each do their job:
1. The OB candle - bearish candle that engages sell-side liquidity: a lower against recent price, a raid of a prior swing low, or a tap of equal/relatively equal lows. It must also hold the extreme move.
2. The displacement candle - a candle with real conviction.
3. The confirmation candle - its close must leave a clean FVG behind - No gap > No order block!
Everything is mirrored for bearish OBs. Nothing plots until the confirmation candle closes - no repainting, no provisional boxes.
Zone management
Zones extend forward until price interacts with them. A tap into the zones dims after the OB has been tested; a close through the far side retires it. Delays for both are configurable, and stale zones are automatically pruned so charts stay readable.
Settings
Pivots sensitivity, displacement strength, equal-level tolerance, and lower -lower lookback are all adjustable, along with zone boundaries, colours, and optional FVG boxes.
Alerts
Four built-in conditions: new bullish OB, new bearish OB, and first test of either - so you can wait for price to come to your level instead of chasing.
This tool mark structure; it doesn't make decisions. Fewer, cleaner zones and the discipline to wait for them - #PatiencePays
