TEST

Institutions trade using order blocks.

The Order Block is a specific price range

or candle where institutions will be buying or selling againstb

theretail trend/dump money.

Institutions leave order blocks for themselves to trade at a later stage.

They will reverse the price to a previous order and

then driving the pricehard in the direction of the

trend(The real institutional trend).

These order blocks we can also call them specific levels of either going Long or Short.

If an order block is violated or broken, it now qualifies as a Breaker,

meaning Price will retest back to that order block.

Sometimes we call it a failed order block.

NB:YOU DON’T TRADE ORDER BLOCKS STRAIGHTAWAY,

YOU WAIT FOR PRICE TO COME BACK

TO THAT ORDER BLOCK THEN YOU TAKE A TRADE.

The Low of the Bullish OrderBlock
is the location of a relatively safe Stop Loss placement.
Just below the 50% of the OrderBlock
total range is also considered to be a good location
to raise the Stop Loss after Price runs away from
the Bullish OrderBlock to reduce Risk when applicable.
