- Version: 1.0

Auto Order Blocks is a high-performance, professional MetaTrader 5 indicator designed for traders utilizing Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and institutional price action strategies. It automatically detects and plots high-probability Bullish and Bearish Order Blocks on your chart in real time with an ultra-clean, modern visual layout.
🌟 KEY FEATURES
-
Institutional Order Block Detection: Scans market structure, local swing extremes, and impulsive price moves to accurately plot active Buy and Sell Order Blocks.
-
Smart Break/Mitigation Logic: When price invalidates an Order Block with a Candle Body Close, the indicator automatically stops extending the zone right at the point of the break. No more cluttered or outdated zones on your chart.
-
Smart Color Blending (Soft Transparency): Equipped with a native algorithm ( BlendColor ) that automatically blends block colors with your chart background (Light or Dark Mode). Provides a clean, modern visual overlay without blocking price candles.
-
Dynamic Forward Extension: Active, unmitigated Order Block zones automatically project into the future ( InpRightBars ) from the current price bar for easy visualization.
-
Lightweight & High Speed: Engineered with low-overhead memory loops. It scans full history on load and efficiently updates only on new bar opens, ensuring zero chart lag or terminal freeze.

📈 TRADING APPLICATIONS (SMC & Price Action)
-
Bullish Order Blocks: Act as high-confluence demand zones. Look for long entries (XAUUSD, Forex, Crypto) when price retraces back into the block with confirmation.
-
Bearish Order Blocks: Act as supply zones. Ideal for short setups upon price retests.
-
Zone Invalidation: A broken Order Block signals a potential Market Structure Shift (MSS/CHoCH) or liquidity sweep.
