This Asian session is dead quiet. Anyone else using the order block indicator? Trying to figure out how to best spot them on GBPUSD, seems more complex than I thought.

Yeah, the OB zones seem to shift too much sometimes. Need to filter it better, maybe combine with volume spikes.

Hey @ifeoma00, order blocks are tricky! I just look at price action, usually if price shoots up or down super fast that's where the big boys stepped in. It's more about feel than indicators sometimes, right?

Hey @ifeoma00, I can relate to the order block struggles! It feels like you spot one, and then price just zips right past it or ignores it completely. I've been experimenting with drawing them based on those quick, sharp moves, like you mentioned. Sometimes, if I see a massive candle pushing price away from a zone, I mark that as a potential order block. It's not perfect, but it's helped me catch a few moves. I also find that looking at the higher timeframes, like H4, to identify significant OBs and then zooming into M15 or M5 to see if price respects them can be useful. What signals are you looking for that make you think 'this is an order block'?
Hey @ifeoma00, I agree, order blocks can be super elusive! I've found that sometimes just watching price action around those suspected zones gives more clues than the indicator itself.
