Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Indicator: Detecting Breaker Blocks and Hidden Order Blocks (HOBs)
The Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Lite is designed to assist traders in identifying breaker blocks, also known as hidden order blocks (HOBs). The indicator helps identify untouched bodies within order blocks and offers comprehensive analysis of fair value gaps (FVGs) and order blocks based on engulfing candles. The method for detecting engulfing patterns is customizable (available in the Pro version).
Features of the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Lite Indicator
The indicator detects breaker blocks and distinguishes between complete HOBs and partial HOBs (PHOBs). An HOB is created when the body of a candle, to the left of an engulfing candle, ideally fits through the fair value gaps without being touched by wicks. The indicator differentiates between:
The minimum requirement for a “good” HOB is for the equilibrium to be crossed by the FVGs. This method provides a focused and high-quality view of the market structure.
Visualization and Market Structure Analysis
The Institutional Order Finder (IOF) displays order blocks as lines, with the equilibrium being a critical analysis point. Once the equilibrium is reached, the order block is considered invalid. In addition to HOBs and PHOBs, the indicator also displays fair value gaps, as well as invalidated order blocks (OBs) and breaker blocks (BBs). Understanding these invalidations is essential for interpreting market behavior and potential turning points. The line representation offers a cleaner view, making it easier to combine multiple timeframes and spot clusters.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)
The Lite version allows analysis of up to three different timeframes, helping traders observe the relevance and strength of order blocks across different time periods. For each selected timeframe, not only confirmed order blocks are shown, but also “potential order blocks (OBs) and breaker blocks (BBs).” These blocks are currently forming and are not yet confirmed. Potential OBs and BBs can provide crucial insights into the current market structure, especially for traders who seek early signals.
Lite Version and Limitations
The Lite version of the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) indicator has certain limitations. It can display only up to three timeframes, offers fewer customization options, and focuses on basic analysis tools. Nonetheless, the Lite version is a powerful tool for gaining initial insights into the functionality of the MT Breaker Block indicator and improving understanding of market structure.
Why Use the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Indicator?
The Lite indicator offers a precise way to analyze and visualize order blocks and breaker blocks. By focusing on identifying untouched bodies and the equilibrium, the indicator provides a unique perspective on market structure, often missing from traditional order block indicators. With its ability to conduct multi-timeframe analysis and identify potential order blocks in real time, the IOF Lite indicator offers a detailed understanding of potential price movements.

The indicator detects breaker blocks and distinguishes between complete HOBs and partial HOBs (PHOBs). An HOB is created when the body of a candle, to the left of an engulfing candle, ideally fits through the fair value gaps without being touched by wicks. The indicator differentiates between:
- HOB (Hidden Order Block): The body completely fits through the FVGs and is untouched by wicks, making it a strong and reliable breaker block.
- PHOB (Partial Hidden Order Block): The body does not fully fit, but at least the equilibrium (50% level of the body left of the engulfing candle) is covered by the FVGs.
The minimum requirement for a “good” HOB is for the equilibrium to be crossed by the FVGs. This method provides a focused and high-quality view of the market structure.
