An order block indicator is a trading tool built to highlight price areas where larger market participants may have previously placed meaningful buy or sell orders. In Forex trading, these zones are often used to plan potential reaction areas, continuation entries, reversal setups, and cleaner risk-to-reward trades.

After more than two decades of watching currency charts move through calm sessions, fast expansions, failed breakouts, and brutal reversals, I can say this clearly: an order block is not magic. It is a map. The trader still has to read the terrain.
