Order Block Detector - Smart Trading 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 for forward-looking analysis and view clear visual representations of block boundaries and midpoints to aid trade planning. The tool also monitors order block mitigation, focusing analysis on zones not yet tested.

This indicator supports smarter trading strategies by revealing footprints left by financial institutions, enabling better decision-making and risk management. It facilitates intelligent identification of supply and demand zones, confirmation of entry points by using order blocks as confluence, and setting stop loss and take profit levels aligned with block structures. It also aids in understanding market structure and order flow across multiple timeframes.

Additional features include flexible configuration of volume pivot length and block extension, customizable visual styles for bullish and bearish blocks, choice of mitigation method (close price or wick), and a clean interface that integrates efficiently with cTrader for smooth performance. This tool is suitable for trading forex, indices, and other markets where institutional order flow analysis is relevant.
