Which Order Blocks to Trust
Not every order block works. Here's the 3-point filter that separates high-probability from garbage.
What This Means
There are order blocks everywhere on a chart. Most of them are already used up and won't hold. You only want fresh, untouched order blocks that are in line with your higher timeframe bias, and that had a strong displacement (big move away) when they formed.

The Rule
Trust an OB if: 1. It hasn't been touched since it formed. 2. The HTF bias matches. 3. There was a strong displacement from it.
All three must be true. If one is missing, skip it.

2
Check #1: Has price returned to this OB before?
If yes, it may be 'used up' — treat it with less confidence
3
Check #2: Does your 4H bias match the OB direction?
Bullish 4H = only use bullish OBs
4
Check #3: How strong was the move away from this OB?
Should be at least 2-3 big candles moving fast in one direction
5
If all three pass, mark it as a HIGH CONFIDENCE entry zone

Common Mistake
An OB that price has bounced from once becomes less reliable each time it's tested. A fresh OB is almost always the best entry.
