# Reclaimed Order Block Builds order blocks from displacement moves, then flags reclaims: zones defended again after a prior respect, or recovered after price closed through them without full acceptance. Confirmation demands a rejection wick or displacement away within 10 bars by default, a swing-structure filter blocks counter-trend signals, and zones retire after 3 uses or decisive acceptance.

Order blocks form where a displacement candle clears the extreme of the last opposing candle; the build follows each zone through every return visit and flags the [reclaimed order block](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/reclaimed-order-block/) events: a respected zone defended again in its original direction, or a violated zone recovered before full acceptance. Unproven blocks stay hidden by default, each use fades the box, and every zone eventually retires. ## How to Trade the Reclaimed Order Block? - **Reclaim label**: the defending reaction completed within the window, a rejection wick or displacement candle away, by default; xN counts uses, (v) marks a violated recovery. - **Structure filter**: bullish reclaims are suppressed while swing structure is bearish and vice versa. No fighting fresh opposing trends. - **Retirement**: consecutive closes beyond the far side retire the zone (wicks never do), and each defense consumes resting interest, so repeated reclaims deserve skepticism. ## Reclaimed Order Block Settings - **ATR Length** (default 14) and **Displacement Multiple** (default 1.5): the displacement body size for formation and confirmation. - **Zone Boundaries** (default Full Range): or the candle body only. - **Max Blocks Per Side** (default 5): tracked per direction, oldest dropped first. - **Reclaim Definition** (default Both): Respected reuse, Violated recovery, or both. - **Reclaim Confirmation** (default Wick or displacement) with **Rejection Wick Ratio** (default 0.5) and **Reaction Window (Bars)** (default 10). - **Min Bars Between Tests** (default 3): time away before a new visit counts. - **Acceptance Closes To Retire** (default 2) and **Max Uses Before Retirement** (default 3): what spends a zone. - **Structure Bias Filter** (on) with **Swing Length** (default 10); **Reclaim Labels** (on), **Show Unproven Blocks** (off), **Keep Retired Zones** (off). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How is this different from a Mitigation Block? A [Mitigation Block](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/mitigation-block/) earns its zone from failure: a broken move revisited so trapped positions exit. A reclaimed order block runs on proof: prior defense or a recovered violation is the credential. ### Which Reclaim Definition should I pick? Both definitions circulate: Respected reuse demands a zone that already held once, Violated recovery a close through that never reached acceptance. Acceptance Closes To Retire at 1 enforces the strict rule that any close through kills a zone. ### Why did a zone disappear? Retired zones vanish unless Keep Retired Zones greys them out; retirement comes from acceptance closes or the use limit, and the oldest blocks drop once a side exceeds its cap. ## Related indicators - [Smart Money Concepts (SMC)](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/smart-money-concepts-smc/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/smart-money-concepts-smc.md - [Price Action Concepts](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-price-action-concepts/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-price-action-concepts.md - [Order Block Detector](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-block-detector/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-block-detector.md - [ICT Concepts](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ict-concepts/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ict-concepts.md - [Market Structure Break & OB Probability Toolkit](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-break-ob-probability-toolkit/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-break-ob-probability-toolkit.md - [Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-blocks-breaker-blocks/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-blocks-breaker-blocks.md - [Market Structure (Breakers)](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-breakers/) (Breaker Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-breakers.md - [Breaker Blocks with Signals](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/breaker-blocks-with-signals/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/breaker-blocks-with-signals.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/reclaimed-order-block/ (LuxAlgo Library).
