**Pure Price Action Order & Breaker Blocks** maps each [order block](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/bullish-bearish-order-block/), a zone where heavy accumulation or distribution preceded a strong move, and keeps watching after the level gives way: an invalidated block evolves into a [breaker block](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/breaker-block/), confirmed when price returns to mitigate it. Detection runs on pattern-based swing points with no predefined input lengths, so the zones follow structure rather than settings.

## How to Trade the Pure Price Action Order & Breaker Blocks?

- **Fresh order blocks**: potential support or resistance where significant orders accumulated after a strong move and consolidation.
- **Breaker confirmation**: when price comes back to mitigate an invalidated block, the flipped zone frames retracement and continuation setups.
- **Historical Polarity Changes**: optional labels replay past effective setups, most instructive in replay, and worth knowing they may repaint.

Swing detection is hierarchical: a short-term swing high is a peak surrounded by lower highs, its counterpart a trough surrounded by higher lows, and the intermediate and long-term ranks are refined layer by layer from those earlier detections.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### When does an order block become a breaker block?

It is the evolved take on [Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-blocks-breaker-blocks/), rebuilt to work without predefined input lengths. Swing detection comes from price patterns alone, which keeps the zones objective across markets and conditions.

### Is it free?
