Summary

Define and test ICT-style order-block candle zones. Use when labeling the last opposite candle before an objective displacement and structure break, without inferring hidden institutional orders.

2
3	A candle-zone heuristic conventionally defined before a displacement and structure break. OHLC data cannot establish that institutional orders remain there or caused a later reaction.

5	## Identification
6
7	### Bullish Order Block
8
9	1. Find the last bearish candle before a strong upward move
10	2. The move must break previous structure (higher high)
11	3. Zone = open to low of that bearish candle
12
13	### Bearish Order Block
14
15	1. Find the last bullish candle before a strong downward move
16	2. The move must break previous structure (lower low)
17	3. Zone = open to high of that bullish candle
18
19	### Validation
20
21	- Displacement: normalize return/range by ATR and elapsed bars
22	- Break of Structure: use an objective pivot and closed-bar buffer
23	- Retest count/age: record continuously and test first versus later returns
24	- Context state: define higher timeframe objectively and test its incremental value
25
26	## Workflow
27
28	1. Identify the zone with fixed timeframe, OHLC boundary, pivot, and displacement rules
29	2. Get candle data around the zone:
30	```
31	get_candles_around_date(symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>, date=<date>)
32	```
33	3. Mark the zone using `draw_chart_analysis` with type `demand` (bullish) or `supply` (bearish)
34	4. Wait for price to return to the order block zone
35	5. Confirm entry with LTF structure shift, rejection wicks, or volume increase
36	6. Stop loss below/above the order block
37	7. Target next opposing order block or liquidity level
38
39	## Evidence and Validation
40
41	- Treat the setup as a testable hypothesis, not a prediction. Define thresholds, entry, invalidation, and exit before evaluating outcomes.
42	- Calibrate on the same instrument, venue, session, and timeframe. Use closed candles and a held-out or walk-forward sample; record every variant tried.
43	- Include spread, fees, slippage, borrow or funding, partial fills, and latency. Reject the setup when net expectancy is not positive or depends on one narrow parameter.
44	- Return observed inputs, missing data, cost assumptions, entry, invalidation, exit, and a valid, watch, or no-trade status.
45	- Research basis: Treat an order block as a reproducible candle-zone heuristic, not proof of unfilled institutional orders. [Order-flow research](https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.6402) relates price impact to observable imbalance and market depth.
46
47	## Key Rules
48
49	- Do not describe the zone as unfilled institutional inventory without order-level evidence.
50	- Test first and later retests with an expiry rule; keep failures in the sample.
51	- Define context and entry confirmation before evaluation and use closed bars.
52	- Quantify displacement in normalized units rather than a universal candle count.
53
54	## Related Skills
55
56	- fair-value-gaps — test overlap between two explicitly defined candle-zone conventions
57	- market-structure-shift — BOS/CHoCH confirms the displacement that validates an OB
