An *Order Block* is a key zone where institutional traders (banks, hedge funds) placed large buy/sell orders, creating a strong support/resistance level.
*How to Identify Order Blocks?*
*Bullish OB:* The last candle *before a strong upward move* (usually a bullish candle closing near its high).
*Bearish OB:* The last candle *before a strong downward move* (usually a bearish candle closing near its low).
*How to Trade Order Blocks?*
✅ *Entry:* Price retests the OB zone (with confirmation like a bullish/bearish reaction).
✅ *Stop Loss (SL):* Below/above the OB (depending on direction).
✅ *Take Profit (TP):* Previous swing high/low or next liquidity zone.

*🔹 Fair Value Gap (FVG)*
An *FVG* is a *3-candle imbalance* where price moves so fast that it leaves an untraded area (gap), which often acts as a support/resistance zone.
*How to Identify FVG?*
1. *Bullish FVG:*
Candle 1: Strong bearish close
Candle 2: Small candle (indecision)
Candle 3: Strong bullish candle that *doesn’t overlap* Candle 1’s low.
2. *Bearish FVG:*
Candle 1: Strong bullish close
Candle 2: Small candle (indecision)
Candle 3: Strong bearish candle that *doesn’t overlap* Candle 1’s high.
*How to Trade FVG?*
✅ *Entry:* Price returns to fill the FVG (with confirmation like a rejection candle).
✅ *Stop Loss (SL):* Beyond the FVG zone.
✅ *Take Profit (TP):* Next liquidity zone or swing point.

*🔥 Best Trading Strategy (Order Block + FVG Combo)*
This is a *high-probability* strategy combining both concepts:
*Step 1: Find a Strong Order Block (OB)*
Locate a bullish/bearish OB in a trending market.
*Step 2: Wait for Price to Leave an FVG Near the OB*
If price moves away from the OB too fast, an FVG forms.
*Step 3: Enter on Retest of FVG + OB Zone*
*Bullish Setup:*
OB (support) + FVG (bullish gap) → Buy on retest with bullish confirmation.
*Bearish Setup:*
OB (resistance) + FVG (bearish gap) → Sell on retest with bearish confirmation.
*Step 4: Manage Trade*
*SL:* Beyond the OB/FVG zone.
*TP:* Next liquidity zone (previous highs/lows).
