Order Block Matrix [Alpha Extract]The Order Block Matrix indicator identifies and visualizes key supply and demand zones on your chart, helping traders recognize potential reversal points and high-probability trading setups.
This tool helps traders:
Visualize key order blocks with volume profile histograms showing liquidity distribution.
Identify high-volume price levels where institutional activity occurs.
rank historical order blocks and analyze their strength based on volume.
Receive alerts for potential trading opportunities based on price-block interactions.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes chart data to identify and analyze order blocks:
Order Block Detection
Inputs:
Price action patterns (consolidation areas followed by breakouts).
Volume data from current and lower timeframes.
User-defined lookback periods and thresholds.
Detection Logic:
Identifies consolidation areas using a dynamic range comparison.
Confirms breakout patterns with percentage threshold validation.
Maps volume distribution across price levels within each order block.
🔶Volume Analysis
Volume Profiling:
Divides each order block into configurable grid segments.
Maps volume distribution across price segments within blocks.
Highlights zones with highest volume concentration.
Strength Assessment:
Calculates total block volume and relative strength metrics.
Compares block volume to historical averages.
Determines probability of reversal based on volume patterns.
isConsolidation(len) =>
high_range = ta.highest(high, len) - ta.lowest(high, len)
low_range = ta.highest(low, len) - ta.lowest(low, len)
avg_range = (high_range + low_range) / 2
current_range = high - low
current_range <= avg_range * (1 + obThreshold)
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features
Volume Profile Histograms:
Color-coded bars showing volume concentration within order blocks.
Gradient coloring based on relative volume (high volume = brighter colors).
Bull blocks (green/teal) and bear blocks (red) with varying opacity.
Block Visualization:
Dynamic box sizing based on volume concentration.
Optional block borders and background fills.
Volume labels showing total block volume.
Screener Table:
Real-time analysis of order block metrics.
Shows block direction, proximity, retest count, and volume metrics.
Color-coded for quick reference.
Interpretation
High Volume Areas: Zones with institutional interest and potential reversal points.
Block Direction: Bullish blocks typically support price, bearish blocks typically resist price.
Retests: Multiple tests of an order block may strengthen or weaken its influence.
Block Age: Newer blocks often have stronger influence than older ones.
Volume Concentration: Brightest segments within blocks represent the highest volume areas.
🔶 EXAMPLES
The indicator helps identify key trading opportunities:
Bullish Order Blocks
Support Zones: Identify strong support levels where price is likely to bounce.
Breakout Confirmation: Validate breakouts with volume analysis to avoid false moves.
Retest Strategies: Enter trades when price retests a bullish order block with high volume.
Bearish Order Blocks
Resistance Zones: Identify strong resistance levels where price is likely to reverse.
Distribution Areas: Detect zones where smart money is distributing to retail.
Short Opportunities: Find optimal short entry points at high-volume bearish blocks.
Combined Strategies
Order Block Stacking: Multiple aligned blocks create stronger support/resistance zones.
Block Mitigation: When price breaks through a block, it often indicates a strong trend continuation.
Volume Profile Applications: Higher volume segments provide more precise entry and exit points.
