UDT-Verified Order Block Force
Family: pullback · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Market liquidity is 'trapped' in zones created by high-momentum ROC moves. These 'Order Blocks' represent areas where large participants have unfilled orders. If the Average Force confirms a directional bias, a return to these zones (mitigation) offers a high-probability entry as price reacts to the remaining liquidity. The TimeBlock boundaries provide a structural exit for when this institutional demand/supply fails.
Components
- UDT Array Push Identity Test (regime) — Serves as a data-integrity regime filter; trades are only permitted if the environment can successfully map and push UDT 'Point' objects (Price/High), ensuring a clean data feed for the OB logic.
- Average Force (direction) — Establishes the medium-term momentum bias to ensure entries align with the prevailing price relative to its rolling range.
- Sonarlab - Order Blocks (entry) — Identifies institutional liquidity zones left behind by high-velocity (ROC-based) moves, providing precise entry triggers upon zone mitigation.
- Stochastic Oscillator (exit) — Provides a momentum-exhaustion signal to exit positions before a potential mean-reversion move against the trend.
- TimeBlocks (Multifunctional Period Separator) (risk) — Uses hourly session high/lows and VWAP balance to set hard stop-loss levels and determine position sizing based on session volatility.
Known failure conditions
- If the Order Block 'Sensitivity' threshold consistently fails to capture volatility expansions (too many small zones).
- If the Average Force stays pinned at zero while price trends, indicating the smoothing (S) is too high for the asset.
- If the TimeBlock high/low is breached immediately upon session open more than 60% of the time.
