Dynamic Order Blocks

Dynamic Order Blocks trims the chart down to the two order blocks that matter right now: the most recent unmitigated bullish block, its bearish counterpart, and the average level running between them. Instead of papering history across the screen, it maintains a live, minimal map of where significant participation last stepped in — and refreshes the moment either block is mitigated.

How to Trade the Dynamic Order Blocks?

• Return to the bullish block: a candidate support zone for reversal or continuation entries; the bearish block plays the same role overhead.
• Break above the bearish block's extremity: a mitigation event that leans the read toward an uptrend; breaking below the bullish block suggests the opposite.
• Average level: an adaptable support/resistance line — shifts in its direction offer additional confirmation of the prevailing trend.
• Bordered rectangles: mark sweeps of mitigation levels, the breakout failures that can precede reversal opportunities.

Raising the Swing Lookback shifts the whole tool toward longer-term blocks, which suits strategic planning; keeping it short tracks the freshest zones. It slots naturally into the wider Smart Money Concepts collection as the minimalist entry in the order block lineup.

Dynamic Order Blocks Settings

• Swing Lookback: the swing detection length used to construct blocks — higher values produce longer-term zones that update less often.
• Use Candle Body: defines the block area from the candle body alone instead of the full range, tightening zones at the cost of ignoring wicks.

Frequently Asked Questions

When would I pick this over the Order Block Detector?

What does the average level tell me?

It is the midpoint between the displayed bullish and bearish blocks, acting as an adaptive support/resistance reference. Watching its direction change hands is a quick secondary check on trend.
