Reclaimed Order Block

Reclaimed Order Block treats a zone's history as its qualification. 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 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 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.
