Orderblock Scanner:find the zones that matter.

An order block scanner finds the price zones where a strong move started, the areas where large orders likely sat. Price often reacts when it comes back to them.

In our process, zones are for timing. The direction still comes from the macro picture.

What it shows

Supply and demand zones across your markets, how far price is from each zone and whether the zone fits the current bias.

How to use it

Filter for zones that fit your bias and are close to price. A supply zone above price on a bearish market is where you plan your short. A zone against the bias is ignored.

Use it in real trading

The tool informs the decision, it never makes it. Here is how it plays out on real trading days.

1
Fits the bias

EURUSD is bearish and price rises into a supply zone. You plan the short there, stop above the zone.

2
Against the bias

Gold reaches a demand zone, but the bias is bearish. You skip it.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Trading every zone.
  • Ignoring the bias.
  • Placing the stop inside the zone.

What makes it different

The scanner shows whether each zone fits the bias, so the chart work follows the macro work.
