Decoded from: Copy My Simple Order Block Strategy You’ve Never Seen Before by Lewis Kelly — watch the original

Strategy overview

An order block marks the candle or zone where a large move originated, on the assumption that unfilled institutional orders remain there and that price returning to it can find the same side of the market again. What separates this entry from the dozens of other order block videos in circulation is not the concept but the claim attached to it: Lewis Kelly's title, "Copy My Simple Order Block Strategy You've Never Seen Before", stakes its appeal on novelty applied to one of the most heavily covered ideas in retail smart-money content.

That framing is worth reading carefully. "Copy my" is a pedagogy of replication — the offer is the author's own configuration, followed as given, rather than the reasoning that would let a viewer build their own. "You've never seen before" then promises that this configuration differs from the standard treatment. But the difference has to live somewhere specific, and this entry's catalogued vocabulary is thin: the order block is the only concept recorded, with no timeframe declared and no second technique paired with it. Whatever makes the variant unfamiliar is carried by the video's delivery, not by the ingredient list.

No rule set was decoded from this source, so nothing here reconstructs the author's entries, stops or targets. What is worth knowing in advance is where order block methods actually diverge from one another: how the origin candle is identified, which move it must precede to qualify, whether a return to the zone is traded immediately or only after confirmation, and what price action voids the block entirely. A strategy that claims to be unlike the others is making a claim about one of those four variables — and that is the thing to listen for.

Frequently asked questions

What is an order block in trading?

An order block is the candle or price zone from which a significant directional move began, treated as an area where large unfilled orders may remain. Traders watch for price to return to that zone as a potential entry area in the direction of the original move.

What actually differs between one order block strategy and another?

Usually four things: how the origin candle is defined, what move it has to precede to count as valid, whether a return to the zone is entered immediately or only after some confirmation signal, and what invalidates the block. Two methods can use identical vocabulary and behave completely differently depending on those choices.

Can you copy an order block strategy directly from a video?

You can copy the entry pattern, but entries are the smallest part of a method. Timeframe, invalidation and position sizing are what make a setup repeatable, and short videos often leave those implicit — which is why replicating a demonstrated entry rarely reproduces the demonstrated outcome.

Does this page include the exact rules from Lewis Kelly's video?

No structured rule set was extracted from this source, so this entry catalogues it as an order block approach from the Lewis Kelly channel rather than as a decoded rule set. Strategy Decoder publishes the extracted structure only where a video's rules could be identified from the source itself.
