This lesson teaches students how to evaluate order block quality. Strong blocks usually appear at meaningful locations, cause displacement, connect to market structure, and provide clear invalidation. Weak blocks are often random candles with no real context.
Students also learn why order blocks fail. Price may break through a block if higher timeframe pressure dominates, if liquidity beyond the block is the real target, or if the original imbalance is no longer valid.
The goal is to use order blocks as structured decision zones, not automatic entries.
1. Rank five order blocks from strongest to weakest.
2. Identify displacement and structure context for each.
3. Define invalidation and target logic for one setup.
