Order block (SMC)

Smart Money Concepts order blocks - demand/supply zones formed on a structure break and removed on mitigation. Requires the Order Blocks indicator.

1 min readUpdated Jun 19, 2026

The Order Blocks indicator ports the LuxAlgo SMC order-block logic. An order block is the extreme candle inside the leg that produced a structure break - the lowest-low candle for a bullish (demand) block, the highest-high candle for a bearish (supply) block. Blocks are removed once price trades back through them (mitigation).

Condition

order_block_match reads one interaction at a time, selected by trigger:

  • price - live price is inside the nearest active block on this side (tick-eligible).
  • inside - the bar closed inside a block.
  • formed - a new block of this side just formed.
  • mitigated - a block of this side was just mitigated.

Typical use

Enter on price inside a bullish block while market-structure trend is bullish, using tolerance_pct to give the zone a little padding so a near-touch still triggers.
