Point of interest (POI)

A point of interest (POI) is a zone on the chart where a price reaction is expected because a large participant's interest is concentrated there. It is an umbrella term: order blocks, imbalances and other zones price returns to before continuing all count as points of interest. In Russian it is also called a zone of interest.

A POI matters not on its own but in context: where it sits in the structure, which side of the range it is on (premium or discount), and what liquidity rests nearby. The market usually reaches a large participant's real zone of interest after taking the liquidity in front of it — so a POI is weighed together with which stop pools price swept on the way.

In our method points of interest are read inside a trading range and confirmed by facts, not prediction. The Trade Model indicator maps structure and ranges, helping you find meaningful zones of interest faster and filter out the secondary ones.
