SmartTradingOrderBlockDetector is an indicator designed for the cTrader platform that identifies key institutional order blocks based on volume activity. It detects bullish and bearish order blocks, visually highlighting potential areas of trend reversal or continuation to help anticipate significant price movements. Users can customize the future extension of these blocks and view clear visual representations of block boundaries and midpoints to aid trade planning.

The indicator supports monitoring of order block mitigation, focusing analysis on zones not yet tested by price. It is intended to enhance trading strategies by pinpointing supply and demand zones, confirming entry points through confluence with other signals, and defining stop loss and take profit levels aligned with institutional order flow. It can be applied across multiple timeframes for comprehensive market structure analysis.

Additional features include flexible configuration of volume pivot length and block extension, customizable colors for bullish and bearish blocks, and options for mitigation methods based on candle close or wick. The interface is designed to be clear and unobtrusive, optimized for efficient performance and seamless integration within cTrader. This tool aims to support more informed decision-making and risk management by revealing footprints of financial institutions in the market.
