// Definition
An order block is the last opposite-coloured candle before a strong move, marking a zone where large players are thought to have placed their orders.
Explained simply
A bullish order block is the last red candle before a strong move up. A bearish order block is the last green candle before a strong move down. When price later returns to that zone, it often reacts again.
The best order blocks come before a move that breaks market structure, and have not yet been revisited.
Tip
An order block is a zone to watch, not an automatic entry. Wait for price to react there before acting.
