Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks
Designed to identify and visualize key supply and demand zones based on order block theory across multiple timeframes. The indicator detects order blocks by analyzing sequential candle patterns and price movement thresholds to highlight potential reversal or continuation zones where institutional buying or selling activity may have occurred.
The indicator works by scanning for clusters of consecutive bullish or bearish candles followed by a significant price move, which signals the formation of an order block. It then plots these zones as colored boxes on the chart—green for demand (bullish order blocks) and red for supply (bearish order blocks). The zones can be based on candle bodies or wicks, depending on user preference, and the indicator supports multi-timeframe analysis by allowing optional higher timeframe inputs.
How It Works:
Sequential Candle Detection: The indicator looks for a specified number of consecutive bullish or bearish candles (configurable by the user) to identify potential order blocks.
Price Movement Threshold: It checks if the price movement after the order block formation exceeds a user-defined percentage threshold, ensuring only significant zones are marked.
Zone Plotting: Once an order block is confirmed, the indicator draws a supply or demand zone as a box on the chart, using either candle bodies or wicks for zone boundaries.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Users can optionally specify higher timeframes to incorporate broader market context, enhancing the reliability of the zones.
Zone Management: The indicator limits the number of zones displayed to avoid clutter, automatically removing the oldest zones when the maximum count is exceeded.
How to Interpret:
Demand Zones (Green Boxes): These represent areas where buying pressure was strong enough to create a bullish order block. Price often finds support here, making these zones potential entry points for long trades or areas to watch for price bounces.
Supply Zones (Red Boxes): These indicate areas of strong selling pressure forming bearish order blocks. Price may face resistance in these zones, which can be used as potential exit points for longs or entry points for shorts.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Zones identified on higher timeframes tend to be stronger and more reliable. Use the optional higher timeframe inputs to align your trades with broader market trends.
Use with Other Indicators: Combine order block zones with volume, momentum, or trend indicators to improve trade confirmation and risk management.
Zone Breaks: A decisive break and close beyond a supply or demand zone may signal a shift in market sentiment and potential trend continuation or reversal.
