Market moves are not random; they originate from specific price levels where institutions have accumulated massive positions. These footprints are known as Order Blocks (OB). The Mkt-Viper Edge engine scans historical price action to identify the exact candles that started a strong move. It highlights these zones as high-probability areas for Supply (Resistance) and Demand (Support). Image

​
Strength Rank

Unlike other tools that just draw a colored rectangle, Viper Edge looks inside the Order Block to analyze the volume data. Every active zone features a data label providing critical insights: Image

​
🔹 Strength Rank

A letter badge appears on the left side of the block:
  • [S] Strong: The block was formed with Above Average Volume. These are high-probability zones.
  • [W] Weak: The block was formed with low volume. These zones are less reliable and may break easily.

​
Volume Composition

Mkt-Viper Edge provides an “X-Ray” view of every Order Block. Extending from the right side of every zone, you will see a Data Tab containing specific numbers. This data tells you not just where the orders are, but how aggressive the institutional participation was during the creation of that zone. Image

​
🔹 1. Cumulative Volume (Total Fuel)

  • What it is: The bottom number in the Data Tab (e.g., 81k).
  • Definition: This is the total sum of all volume or contracts traded during the formation of this Order Block.
  • How to read it: Think of this as the “Weight” or “Mass” of the wall.
    • A zone with 5M volume is concrete. It will take a lot of effort to break it.
    • A zone with 50k volume is drywall. Price might smash right through it.

​
🔹 2. Delta Volume (Net Aggression)

  • What it is: The top number with the Δ symbol (e.g., Δ +450K).
  • Definition: Delta represents the Net Difference between Buying Volume and Selling Volume.
    • Buy Volume - Sell Volume = Delta
  • How to read it: This tells you who won the battle.
    • Positive Delta (+): Buyers were the aggressors.
    • Negative Delta (-): Sellers were the aggressors.
    • Strategy: If you see a Bullish Order Block (Green) with a massive Positive Delta, it confirms that the move up was driven by aggressive market buying, not just a lack of sellers.

​
🔹 3. The Composition Percentages (The Ratio)

  • What it is: The two small percentages inside the colored bars (e.g., 82% / 18%).
  • Definition: This breaks down the Total Volume into a ratio of Buying vs. Selling pressure.
  • How to read it:
    • Top Number: The dominant pressure (Buy % for Green Zones, Sell % for Red Zones).
    • Bottom Number: The opposing pressure.
  • The “Golden Ratio”: Look for zones where the dominant side is > 70%.
    • Example: A Bullish OB with 85% Buy / 15% Sell.
    • Meaning: This was a one-sided domination. Institutions absorbed almost all liquidity. When price returns to this level, it is extremely likely to bounce because the sellers were already annihilated here.

​
Visual Behavior

  • Bullish OB (Green): A Demand Zone. Look for Long entries when price returns here.
  • Bearish OB (Purple/Red): A Supply Zone. Look for Short entries when price returns here.
  • Mitigation (Greying Out): Once price touches (“mitigates”) a zone, the orders are considered filled.
    • Default: The box is deleted from the chart to focus on fresh levels.
    • Show Mitigated: If enabled in settings, the box turns Grey and fades into the background. This allows you to see historical reactions without distracting from live levels.

​
Settings & Filters

You have full control over which blocks appear via the “Order Blocks” settings group. Image
  • Zone Density: Controls the history depth.
    • Low: Shows the 3 most recent zones (Scalping).
    • Medium: Shows the 5 most recent zones (Day Trading).
    • High: Shows the 10 most recent zones (Swing Analysis).
  • Filter Type: Choose to see “Strong Only” to filter out the noise and only trade the highest quality setups.
  • Volatility Clamp: (Automatic Feature) If the candle that created the Order Block is massive (High Volatility), the engine automatically highlights only the premium/discount portion (the 50% edge) of the candle, rather than the whole range. This tightens your entry zone and improves Risk/Reward.
Strategy: The “Tap & Go”Order Blocks are best used for Limit Orders.
  1. Identify: Wait for a [S] Strong Bullish Order Block to form.
  2. The Wait: Be patient. Price often rallies away and then slowly drifts back to the zone.
  3. The Entry: Set a Buy Limit order at the Top Edge of the Bullish Box.
  4. The Stop: Place your Stop Loss just below the Bottom Edge of the box.
  5. Result: This strategy catches the “Retest” as institutions defend their original entry price.
