Identifying an order block starts by spotting a strong impulsive move that causes a Break of Structure (BOS), then marking the last opposite-colour candle before that push and waiting for a retest with confirmation. When trading order blocks on a prop firm account, patience is key. Since firms enforce strict daily loss limits and drawdown rules, waiting for price to return to your marked zone prevents overtrading and impulsive entries. Always manage your position size carefully so a failed order block doesn't breach your risk parameters. How do you usually filter your order blocks for higher probability setups?
