Order blocks meet premium and discount

Order Blocks & Premium/Discount

Location changes the quality

An order block sitting inside the discount zone of a range is a stronger long setup than the same order block sitting in premium. Location within the range adds or subtracts from the setup's quality.

Stacking three layers of confluence

The full ICT-style stack layers three things: a bias from structure, an entry zone from an order block or FVG, then a location check against premium or discount.

Premium isn't automatically wrong

An order block sitting in premium during an uptrend isn't automatically a bad long, but it's a lower-quality one, worth smaller size or a pass in favor of waiting for a discount entry instead.
