Propulsion blockAdvanced
A candle that trades into an order block and then pushes price on: a second-step order block.
What it means
Price taps the original order block, then the propulsion candle launches the move. Later returns to the propulsion candle are entries in their own right.
How to spot it
- A candle that touched an earlier order block and started the next leg.
Common mistakes
- Marking it before the move away has happened.
