In order to make an order block valid we need a break of structure in the market (read more about this later in the e-book). If there is not break of structure, there is no valid order block. This is the main reason we connected structure to the order blocks, so our system automatically does this for you. So the SMC Indicator will draw the zones for you and take in consider market structure. Cool. So the amount of order blocks and the quality of the order blocks really depends on your settings. In the SMC Indicator we have 2 different types of order blocks.

1 Swing Order Blocks

2 Internal Order Blocks

This simply means that the order blocks are connected to the swing and internal structure. After every BOS in the market, our system will look for highvolume area’s where an order block is located. This means if when you change the swing and internal structure settings, the order blocks willchange with it. It’s important to play around with this and test out whichzones you prefer.
