An order block isn't a magic zone. It's only worth trading when the move that built it was clean and price actually reacts when it comes back to test it.
The core setup
An order block is the price zone that sits right before a strong push. On USD/CHF, hunt for these on the M5-M15 during the London session, when liquidity is better.
How to enter
BUY at a bullish OB when price comes back to test the candle body ahead of the strong move up and prints a pin bar or bullish engulfing. A bearish OB is the mirror image. Don't enter if the zone is vague or price has already tested it several times.
Trade management
The stop goes below the low or above the high of the OB zone, usually 10-15 pips. Target the nearest swing high or low, around 20-30 pips if the structure is clean enough.
When to skip it
Skip it when the zone is too wide, when the push that followed was weak, or when price comes back in one straight drive with no reaction. The cleaner the zone, the easier the trade is to manage.
Don't slap "order block" on a chart just because it sounds pro. One rule keeps you out of trouble: if the zone isn't clear, skip it.
