Order Blocks ICT — How to Find and Trade Them

Order Blocks are the institutional footprint on your chart.

Framework note: ICT terms are interpretations of price action, not proof of institutional motives or a market algorithm’s intent. No setup is guaranteed. Test clearly defined rules, account for costs and slippage, and use risk limits before risking capital. Read our editorial policy.
