POC Delta Order Blocks

POC Delta Order Blocks is a rule-based order block and volume-delta indicator designed to help traders clearly understand where real trading activity happened and how price reacts around those zones.

Instead of drawing generic candle-based blocks, this indicator uses a Point of Control (POC) approach to identify the most actively traded price level between a swing high/low and a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS). The order block is then anchored to the earliest valid candle that interacted with that POC, giving you a structurally meaningful and volume-backed zone.

From there, the indicator continuously tracks how price interacts with the zone — whether it respects, retests, mitigates, or invalidates it — while visualizing buyer vs seller pressure directly inside the block.

Why This Indicator Is Different

Most order block tools rely only on candle bodies or wicks. POC Delta Order Blocks goes further by being volume-aware.

You can optionally pull volume data from a lower timeframe (for example, using 1-minute volume on a 5-minute chart) to get a more accurate view of how buyers and sellers actually traded inside the zone.

This turns every order block into a story of participation, not just a price box:

• Who dominated?

• Where did activity concentrate?

• How did that balance shift over time?

All signals are based strictly on closed candles only, keeping the indicator clean, stable, and non-repainting.

Core Logic Explained

1. A swing high or swing low is identified

2. A confirmed Break of Structure (BOS) occurs

3. Price levels between the swing and BOS are scanned

4. The most-traded price level (POC) is detected

5. The earliest unmitigated candle that interacted with the POC becomes the anchor

6. The order block extends forward, tracking future interaction

Order Block Boundaries

• Bearish Order Block

  • Top = anchor candle high or wick high

  • Bottom = anchor candle low

• Bullish Order Block

  • Bottom = anchor candle low or wick low

  • Top = anchor candle high

Only confirmed and valid order blocks are displayed.

Key Features

POC-Based Order Blocks

• Built using the most actively traded price level
