How to use ZoneHunter Live

The page turns every live order block and fair value gap in the market into a candidate trade plan. This guide explains what each column means, how the plan is derived, how reward-to-risk is computed after fees, and when a row should be skipped.

1. What you are looking at

One row per pair, recomputed about every minute from Bybit perpetual candles by the CSJ9 screener. Left to right:

• Price · 24h — last price and the 24-hour change.
• OB ↑ / OB ↓ — the nearest bearish zone above price and the nearest bullish zone below it on the selected timeframe: grade badge, zone type (OB or FVG), the edge you would trade against and its distance from price. Click the header to sort by distance.
• ×TF — how many timeframes hold a live order block overlapping that nearest zone, the selected one included.
• Entry · SL · TP — the plan implied by the zones for the chosen direction and leg filters.
• RRR — reward-to-risk after taker fees on both sides, sorted best first by default. Hover for the gross ratio.

2. Order blocks and fair value gaps

An order block is the last opposing candle before a strong move: the footprint of the orders that started it. A fair value gap is the price range a three-candle impulse skipped, the space between the first candle's high and the third candle's low for a bullish gap. Both mark places where price tends to react when it comes back. ZoneHunter keeps a zone live until price trades through its far edge, then retires it; only live zones appear in the table and on the chart.

3. Grades

A, B and C rank a zone by its height relative to the average true range on that timeframe — a bigger zone held more orders. ◆A is confluence: an A-grade zone that also sits on the right side of the 200 EMA trend and formed on elevated volume. The Entry and Target selectors let you require a minimum grade for each leg, and choose between order blocks and fair value gaps.

4. From zones to a trade plan

For a long: entry is the top of the first qualifying zone below price, the stop is the bottom of that same zone, the target is the bottom of the first qualifying zone above price. For a short the mirror applies. A real row, ETHUSDT on the 4-hour chart, long, order blocks of any grade:

5. Net reward-to-risk, explained

Gross reward-to-risk is reward divided by risk: 101.4 ÷ 5.0 = 20.28. Fees are paid on the way in and on the way out, at the Bybit derivatives taker rate of 0.055 % per side: 2402.2 × 0.00055 × 2 = 2.64 per unit. Net reward-to-risk subtracts the fees from the reward and adds them to the risk: (101.4 − 2.64) ÷ (5.0 + 2.64) = 12.92, the number the table shows.

The thin-zone caveat. Another real row, AAVEUSDT on the 4-hour chart: entry 127.1, stop 127.0, target 133.64. The stop is 0.08 % from the entry, so the risk is tiny and the net ratio comes out at 26.69. The arithmetic is right; the trade is fragile, because ordinary noise on a 4-hour candle is many times larger than 0.08 %. Rule of thumb: when the stop sits closer than about 0.3 % from the entry, skip the row or widen the stop to the next structure and recompute. Raising the minimum grade or switching the entry leg to fair value gaps usually surfaces a thicker zone.

6. ×TF and the chart

×TF counts how many timeframes confirm the nearest order block; ×3 on a 4-hour zone means two other timeframes — the 1-hour and daily, for example — hold overlapping blocks too. On the chart, red boxes are bearish fair value gaps, green boxes bullish ones, orange boxes order blocks; each carries its grade label at the right end. The blue, red and green lines are the entry, stop and target of the selected row. Expand opens the chart in a larger window; Fullscreen opens the chart alone in a new tab with a link you can share.

7. A repeatable routine

1. Pick the timeframe you trade and the direction you favour.
2. Sort by RRR, then discard rows whose stop is closer than 0.3 % to the entry.
3. Open the chart for the survivors and check the structure around the zone and the ×TF confluence.
4. Size the position with the ATP Entry Calculator from your risk per trade.
5. Set alerts at the zone on TradingView with ZoneHunter Pro, which runs the same detection on your own chart.

8. What this page is not

No orders are placed here and nothing on this page is investment advice. It is a scanning tool: it ranks candidates, it does not decide for you. Data comes from Bybit perpetual candles about once a minute and can be delayed; read the "Updated N min ago" stamp. See the risk disclosure.
