Edo Mitigation Blocks follows the order block through the moment that matters most in its life: mitigation, when price comes back to the zone it started from. When a large order moves price it is rarely filled all at once, and part of it is left behind in the origin zone — the order block. The indicator draws that block the moment the impulse breaks structure, as a Bull Block in teal (demand) or a Bear Block in red (supply), dimmed and with a dotted border while it waits for its retest. When price returns into the zone, per the Wick or Close trigger you choose, the block is highlighted with a solid border and a Mitigated label: that first return is where the reaction usually happens. If price later closes through the far side of a mitigated block, it turns Broken, the border goes dashed and the box stops extending. A compact panel counts the pending and mitigated blocks and splits the pending ones by side. No higher-timeframe functions and no repainting.

Watch it in action

Features

Draws the order block behind every break of structure the moment it forms — the last opposite candle before the impulse, searched within the Impulse Lookback — and follows it through its whole life
Two block types by direction of the impulse: Bull Blocks (demand, teal) below the move that left them and Bear Blocks (supply, red) above it
Three states evaluated on every closed bar: Pending (dimmed box, dotted border), Mitigated (highlighted box, thick solid border and a Mitigated label at the retest) and Broken (dashed border, the box stops extending)
Two mitigation triggers: Wick, where a wick into the zone is enough and the retest is flagged as soon as possible, and Close, where a candle has to close inside the zone before it counts
Three structure profiles from a single input — Scalper (5 bars each side), Swing (10, the default) and Long Term (21) — to decide which impulses leave a block
Compact panel with the number of pending blocks, the number of mitigated ones still alive and the pending blocks split by side (Bull / Bear)
Only the most recent blocks per side are kept (Max Blocks per side, 8 by default), and separate opacities for pending and mitigated blocks keep the two states apart at a glance
No higher-timeframe functions and no repainting: blocks are built on confirmed pivots and every mitigation and break is validated on the close

Use Cases

Using a pending block as a target: a Bull Block below is a demand zone price can come back to, a Bear Block above is a supply zone, and the panel says how many are still waiting on each side
Watching the first return: when price mitigates a block, the reaction on that retest tells whether the zone still has buyers or sellers behind it — a clean bounce from demand or rejection from supply validates it
Reading the break as information — a mitigated block closed through has been consumed, and recognising it in time avoids leaning on a zone that no longer reacts
Choosing the trigger by style: Wick to be alerted on the first touch, Close to wait until the market accepts price inside the zone
Matching the structure profile to the horizon, from Scalper on lower timeframes to Long Term for the major blocks on weekly charts, and running it on several charts for a multi-timeframe read

Configuration

Edo Mitigation Blocks groups its inputs by block. Structure sets the Structure Profile (Scalper, 5 bars each side, for short-term blocks on lower timeframes; Swing, 10, the default, for the balanced 4H and daily read; or Long Term, 21, for the major blocks on weekly and wider horizons), the Impulse Lookback (20, range 3-60: how many bars back the indicator searches for the candle that originated the impulse), the Max Blocks per side (8, range 1-30) and the Mitigation trigger (Wick, the default, or Close). Style exposes the bullish block colour (teal, demand), the bearish block colour (red, supply), the Pending opacity (88 %), the Mitigated opacity (70 %), the label size (Small, from Tiny / Small / Normal) and the theme (Dark or Light). Panel controls panel visibility (on), position (Top Right, from the four chart corners) and size (Small). Three alerts are available: Bullish Block mitigated and Bearish Block mitigated when price returns to a demand or supply zone, and Block broken when an already-mitigated block is lost, all validated on bar close.
