The Adaptive OB Scanner tracks every zone's life — fresh, tested, swept & reclaimed, broken into a breaker, played out — across the top Binance USDT pairs, after every candle close.
The differences describe detection behaviour on the chart — not trading outcomes.
| Simple OB indicator | Adaptive OB Scanner | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | One chart at a time, on the symbol you have open | Every top Binance USDT pair, scanned after each candle close, with a report per pair |
| Zone creation | One quality gate: a confirmed pivot break with a fair value gap at the anchor qualifies | Multiple stacked quality checks at qualified structure events — most candidate zones are rejected by design, so what remains is there for a reason |
| Structural anchoring | Zones anchor to swing-pivot breaks | Built-in change-of-character detection — zones anchor only to relevant, current structural shifts, and stale shifts expire instead of producing zones after the moment has passed |
| Zone invalidation | One-step: the first close through a zone removes it permanently | Two-stage lifecycle: a close-through opens a pending question — failed breakouts reclaim the zone (marked ★), and only genuine acceptance beyond the level retires it |
| Stop-hunt sweeps | A deep sweep wick either erases the zone or is not distinguished from ordinary touches | Sweep-aware: zones survive stop-hunt wicks without becoming immortal — swept-and-held zones are marked and their invalidation adapts |
| Breaker blocks | Not detected | Confirmed conversion: a close-through is treated as a hypothesis — the breaker appears only after price behaviour confirms the flip |
| How zones end | Zones die only by being broken | Zones also retire when spent — after delivering their reaction in full — keeping the chart free of stale levels |
| Context | The zone on its own | The structure break that formed each zone, every past visit to it, and whether it lines up with a higher-timeframe zone |
Zones and markers describe past price behaviour on finished candles only. Not a recommendation, a signal or a forecast. No performance, accuracy or profitability claims are made or implied. Educational and research use only. Not investment advice.
