The short version
CRTLAB found every order block behind a break of structure on AUDUSD from 2022-07-01 to 2026-11-06: 7,227 on the 15-minute chart, about 5.7 a day. Here is how often price returned to them and broke them, next to fake zones placed at random by the same rules, and a chart that opens on AUDUSD so you can test your own order-block entries.
What AUDUSD's order blocks did within 24 hours (measured)
Price came back to a 15-minute AUDUSD order block within 24 hours on 86.2% of zones, and broke through it on 67.6%. A fake zone of the same size, seeded the same distance from price, was revisited on 84.8% and broken on 66.0%.
If the real zone and the fake one behave alike, the block is not doing the work on its own: the edge, if there is one, is in which blocks you take and how you enter. That is exactly what a replay measures.
| AUDUSD | Zones | Revisited 24h | Fake zone revisited | Broken 24h | Fake zone broken |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15-minute | 7,227 | 86.2% | 84.8% | 67.6% | 66.0% |
