Decisional Zone
A supply or demand zone in the middle of a structural range, not at the edge
A decisional zone is a supply or demand zone that forms between two impulsive moves, in the middle of a structural range rather than at its edge. Decisional zones are weaker than extreme zones and require additional confluence (higher timeframe alignment, first level of respect context, strong departure) to be reliably tradeable. They represent intermediate institutional activity, not the primary order block.
✓How to Recognize
- •Zone sits between two impulsive legs, not at the range boundary
- •Often forms during continuation moves within a trend
- •May give a reaction but frequently fails to hold on its own
- •Needs extra confirmation factors to be tradeable
⚡How to Avoid
- →Trading decisional zones without additional confluence
- →Treating them with the same confidence as extreme zones
- →Ignoring better extreme zones available at the range edge
- →Using them as primary entry zones in isolation
