# BOS

Built for swing traders who trade with conviction. BOS waits for the market to prove itself before drawing a range.

> <kbd><mark style="color:purple;">**BOS Mode**<mark style="color:purple;"></kbd> is based on a slower, more complete, and cleaner trend change.\
> It is mainly used by swing traders and is identified after a break, using the most extreme high or low between the previous range and the point of the break.

***

**What it means:** Trend continuation. The market has broken its most significant structural point, confirming directional bias.

> In BOS mode, the counter point is conservative — it uses the most extreme level. You'll get fewer breaks, but each one carries more weight.

## OB Placement in BOS Mode

The counter point is the **most extreme** swing high or low found between the break point and the previous range extreme — the lowest low for a bullish break, the highest high for a bearish break.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="40"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:green;"><strong>→</strong></mark></td><td>The OB candle is the last opposite candle before that extreme counter point.</td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:green;"><strong>→</strong></mark></td><td>The zone is <strong>wider</strong> and sits further from the break — the counter captures the full structural swing.</td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:green;"><strong>→</strong></mark></td><td>Fewer breaks fire, but each zone carries more weight. Best for swing entries where broader context matters.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
Switching to [MSB](https://docs.rexden.ai/deep-learn/editor/structure-str/msb) moves the counter to the most recent level — producing a tighter zone closer to the break.
