# Order Blocks

The **Order Blocks** feature in the Million Moves Algo is a helpful tool for your trading. You can turn it on or off in the settings.

When it's on, it adds market structure labels to your chart - in the trading world it's often referred to as Smart Money Concept, but it's just a fancy description of Support and Resistance. These labels are like signs that show things happening with the market.&#x20;

🔒 **Support and Resistance:** Key elements are "Support Orderblock" and "Resistance Orderblock." Support Orderblock acts as a safety net, holding the price up. If it falls below, it may continue dropping. Resistance Orderblock acts as a barrier at the top. Price needs to push through for the trend to continue. If not, the trend might reverse.

🚀 **Structure Breaks:** Look for "Structure Break" labels. Green indicates a potential upward move, while red suggests a possible downward trend. These labels signal shifts in market structure, like transitioning from up to down.

🔥 **Breaker Block = Challenge:** There's also the "breaker block" label. It's like a challenge for the price to overcome before moving ahead. It's a point that needs to be cleared for the trend to proceed.

### Avoid False Signals: Verify Orderblocks

☝️ Let's take a look at the 5-minute EUR/USD chart as an example. Even though there was a Smart Buy signal and a long structure break, it was better to wait for a strong body closure above the Resistance Order block. The sellers stepped in after reaching the Resistance Orderblock, they could not continue the long push and it gave us a good opportunity for a short entry.

### Mastering Precise Entries with Orderblocks

**Short entry example**

In the animated example below, notice the red Resistance Orderblock at the top. The price goes up and dives into it, gets pushed back twice, and then falls down giving us a short entry. [👇](https://emojipedia.org/emoji/%F0%9F%91%87)

**Long entry example**\
Same for long: Similarly, the price can also bounce off a support order block at the bottom, and this can lead to a change from a short position to a long one. The animation below showcases how effectively you can use the support order block to take a long position. [👇](https://emojipedia.org/emoji/%F0%9F%91%87)
