오더블럭을 쉽게 찾고, 진입 하는 전략[공급과 수요, FVG와 IMB 이해하기]

Video focus

• Tactical explanation of ICT/SMC order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG / sometimes transcribed FBG), and imbalances (IMB).
• Practical entry strategy and a top‑down confirmation process.
• Emphasis on market microstructure: smart‑money order execution, liquidity, supply/demand zones, and how gaps/imbalances get filled.

Assets / instruments / indicators mentioned

• No specific tickers, stocks, ETFs, bonds, crypto, or commodities named.
• Price‑action concepts and trade tools:
  • Order blocks (OB)
  • Fair Value Gap (FVG / sometimes FBG)
  • Imbalance (IMB)
  • Supply/demand zones
  • Inducement, liquidity, break of structure (BOS)
• Indicator referenced: volume profile (to identify high‑volume supply/demand areas).
• Order types discussed: limit orders, stop loss (SL), take profit (TP).

Key definitions and mechanics

• Imbalance (IMB): a market inefficiency where order flow didn’t fully execute; visually shown by gaps or unfilled price ranges.
• Fair Value Gap (FVG / FBG): a gap across three consecutive candles where the first and third candle tails don’t connect — interpreted as an unfilled area of liquidity.
• Order block (OB): the candle(s) where large (smart‑money) orders were likely placed preceding a strong impulse move.

Practical identification of OBs:

• Demand move (price rises after a drop): the candle just below the FVG or the last bearish candle before the rise is the bullish order block.
• Supply move (price falls after a rise): the candle just above the FVG or the last bullish candle before the fall is the bearish order block.

Note: Supply/demand zones are broader ranges where buying/selling clustered; order blocks are more specific areas within those zones.

Practical top‑down entry framework (step‑by‑step)

1. Top‑down analysis: identify market structure on a higher timeframe (example used: 1H) to see swing highs/lows, BOS, and broader OB/FVG.
2. Drop to a lower timeframe (examples: 5‑minute, 1‑minute) for fine entry details and confirmation.
3. Locate FVG/IMB visually (gap between candles or unfilled transactions).
4. Identify the order block:
   • Long entries: the candle below the FVG / last bearish candle in the demand zone.
   • Short entries: the candle above the FVG / last bullish candle in the supply zone.
5. Look for inducement/liquidity hunts around the OB area (small pokes that import liquidity).
6. Place a limit order at the order block (or on a confirmed lower‑TF structure around it).
7. Place stop loss at the extreme of the order block region (e.g., above OB for shorts; below OB for longs).
8. Place take profit at the previous visible swing high/low or at a prior liquidity area.
9. Manage trade size and patience: wait for price to reach the OB; it may come immediately or much later.

Risk management, execution notes, and cautions

• Example risk/reward: one example trade returned approximately 5.6R (profit‑to‑risk).
• Use strict SL placement (top of OB for shorts in examples) and TP on prior swing levels.
• Beware multiple OBs: generally, the most recent (last) order block is the highest‑probability area; earlier OBs can be traps.
• Avoid blindly entering the mid‑point (0.5 median) of FVG/OB without proper top‑down confirmation — this can worsen win rate and increase trade frequency.
• The visible size/location of order blocks varies by trader and timeframe; do not over‑optimize entries on tiny OBs for smaller SLs unless higher‑timeframe context is confirmed.
• Patience is critical: many trades require waiting for price to reach the target OB; inability to wait undermines effectiveness.
• Don’t overtrade by entering FVGs unnecessarily — FVGs can be filled without hitting a visible OB.
• If uncertain, consider entering the OB on a lower timeframe or waiting for confirmation of structure break (BOS) and inducement fulfillment.

Additional practical observations

• Volume profile can validate supply/demand zones (high traded volume at a zone).
• Smart money typically splits large orders and will use liquidity around FVGs / inducements to execute; OBs are the probable zones smart money used.
• Chart behavior: candlestick tails vs. bodies matter (e.g., tail closes vs. body closes indicating liquidity import or continuation).
• Without a strong understanding of market structure and liquidity, the OB strategy will be hard to apply — study prerequisite concepts first.

Explicit numbers / timeframes called out

• Timeframes discussed: 1‑hour (higher), 5‑minute and 1‑minute (lower).
• Example profit‑to‑risk: ~5.6R.
• Example process uses SL at top of OB and TP at prior swing low/high.
