Strategy overview

A breaker block is what an order block becomes after it fails: a zone price traded straight through, leaving the traders who were positioned there offside and turning the level into resistance where it had been support, or the reverse. This entry sits on the aftermath side of the order block topic — not the zone that held, but the one that broke — and it comes from LuxAlgo, walking through their own "Breaker Blocks with Signals" tool rather than teaching the concept on a bare chart.

What stands out in the video's own chapter list is where the weight falls. After the introduction and a pass over the components the indicator plots, one chapter is given to how a breaker block forms and is drawn, and then two consecutive chapters do the actual work: the first marks a triangle that is explicitly *not* an entry signal, and only the next one covers the conditions for a proper one. That ordering is a teaching choice — it says the tool prints more markers than it prints trades, and that reading the output correctly starts by learning which prints to ignore. Exits are handled separately again, under the PD array heading, the ICT-derived umbrella term for the premium and discount zones price is delivered between, so entry and exit are described in two different vocabularies rather than one continuous rule.

The title's "PERFECT ... Every Time" is the video's own framing and is left as such here: no market, timeframe or session is declared alongside it, and no rules were extracted from this source. What the video offers, on its own terms, is orientation in how a specific indicator represents breakers and grades its own signals — closer to reading a dashboard than to receiving a portable setup.

Frequently asked questions

What is a breaker block in Smart Money Concepts?

A breaker block is an order block that price has traded through and invalidated. Because the zone failed to hold, SMC traders watch for it to flip roles — a broken bullish block becoming an area of supply on a retest, and vice versa.

How is a breaker block different from an order block?

An order block is a zone that is expected to hold; a breaker block is one that already didn't. The two describe the same area at different points in its life, which is why breakers are usually taught after order blocks rather than alongside them.

Why does the video separate the first triangle from a proper entry signal?

The chapter list treats them as two distinct topics — one chapter for a triangle that is not an entry, another for the conditions of a valid one. The practical point is that an indicator can mark a breaker without that mark qualifying as a trade, so recognising the difference is part of using the tool.

How can I evaluate a breaker block approach before trading it?

Test it on historical data in the market and timeframe you actually trade, and treat any "works every time" framing as a claim to verify rather than a starting assumption. Strategy Decoder catalogues strategies decoded from video sources so you can review and compare them on TradingView.
