Most beginners draw an order block as a single line and wonder why price "missed" their entry by a hair before running off without them.
Here's the fix: an order block is the last candle of consolidation before a sharp, impulsive move — the footprint of where big orders likely sat. Price often returns to that origin to fill remaining orders or rebalance inefficiency before continuing. But that footprint isn't a laser line. It's a zone, bounded by the candle's open and extremes, because orders get filled at different prices, not one exact tick.
Watch for this next: mark the full candle range, not a wick tip, and observe how price reacts across that zone before assuming it's invalidated.
What's cost you more — treating a zone like a line, or ignoring the zone completely?
