Breaker Block Trading

About this book

Breaker Block Trading begins where an earlier order-block thesis fails. Instead of treating a breaker as another rectangle to memorize, the book focuses on the event sequence: the prior expectation, the failure, displacement, structural change, retest, invalidation and objective. It compares breaker blocks with order blocks and mitigation blocks, then adds Fair Value Gaps, liquidity sweeps, premium/discount and dealing-range location.

Higher-, middle- and lower-timeframe charts are assigned different jobs—context, location and execution—so the trader reads a chain of evidence rather than a pile of contradictory signals. Entry models, stops, targets, trending and ranging markets, session context, low-quality setups, failures, checklists, case studies, testing and a final playbook turn breaker terminology into a falsifiable process.
