What You Will Learn

Start with these essentials

  • Reversal Blocks organizes zones where price has shown a confirmed reaction and highlights the zone midpoint, also called CE.
  • Use the overlay alongside your own entry, exit, and risk rules.
  • This is chart analysis, not automated order execution.

Who This Is For

  • Traders using TradingView who want confluence and structure, not single-signal guessing.
  • Indicator users who need a repeatable setup checklist they can journal.
  • Futures traders learning to connect market conditions, price levels, and entry rules.

Before You Use This Guide

  • Indicators do not remove the need to manage risk.
  • Signals still need to be checked against price levels and market conditions.

The Problem This Guide Helps You Solve

Reversal Blocks organizes zones where price has shown a confirmed reaction and highlights the zone midpoint, also called CE. This provides a location for studying a later retest. It differs from drawing a rectangle around any candle and assuming that the area will always act as support or resistance.

How to use this in your workflow

Work through these checks in order. The examples explain a process; they are not instructions to place a trade.

Understand why the zone is present

Read the product tutorial and inspect the price sequence that produced the zone. The marked reaction is historical evidence about that area, not proof that a future visit will behave the same way.

Watch the retest instead of anticipating it

If price returns, compare the reaction near the zone edge and midpoint with your entry criteria. A midpoint is a reference inside the zone; it does not independently confirm that buyers or sellers will defend it.

Identify a failed zone

Define what acceptance through the area would mean for your idea. If the reaction you expected does not occur, review the failed setup rather than repeatedly using the same rectangle to justify another entry.

Examples and limits

A hypothetical chart-reading example

A marked reaction zone is revisited after price moves away. A rejection near its midpoint is one sequence to study; sustained trading through the far edge is another. Record which sequence occurred and whether your planned conditions were met.

What this tool cannot tell you

A confirmed historical reaction does not make a future retest certain. Zones can fail, overlap, or become less relevant as the session changes. Neither the zone width nor the midpoint guarantees an appropriate stop distance.

Common Execution Mistakes To Avoid

  • Treating a historical example as a promised future outcome.
  • Adding a tool without understanding which decision it supports.
