I took an untested order block at market open today and it was a perfect scalp opportunity.
Context & Setup:
Earlier in the session, I identified a clean untested order block
Execution:
At around 9:31 ET at the open, price surged higher and tapped the top of the untested OB
I was ready for it on my TopStep account and executed a short the moment we hit the zone.
The Renko chart confirmed the rejection, printing structure and confirming the liquidity grab.
Thoery as to why It Worked:
That OB had not been tested, meaning there was likely resting sell-side liquidity waiting for a grab.
There was no need to force a home run — I kept the exit tight with a 1:1 RR for a clean profit since it was going against the immediate up pressure from the Open.
