Market Structure · OB

Order Block

A price area used to study where a meaningful imbalance in participation may have preceded a structural move.

01 / WHY IT MATTERS

Why this concept matters

Order blocks give a chart a location-based context: instead of treating every candle equally, research can examine the area associated with a consequential move.

02 / GOODPORTION VIEW

How we use it in research

Goodportion treats an order block as contextual evidence. It becomes more useful when considered with structure, liquidity and the market conditions surrounding the move—not as an automatic trade signal.
