CISD Detector MTF marks Change in State of Delivery (CISD) levels on any symbol and timeframe, and shows the delivery state across eight timeframes in one panel.
Overview
In Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology, a CISD marks the moment price stops delivering in one direction and starts delivering in the other. It is often an early confirmation of a market structure shift (MSS) or change of character (CHoCH), and it usually appears before a classic break of structure (BOS).
How it works
The indicator tracks the current order flow and the swing extreme that price is building. For each new extreme, it finds the sequence of candles that delivered price there and anchors a level at the opening price of that sequence. When a candle closes back through that level, delivery has changed state.
- Bullish CISD: price closes above the opening price of the bearish candle sequence that created the latest low.
- Bearish CISD: price closes below the opening price of the bullish candle sequence that created the latest high.
After each CISD the indicator switches state and starts tracking the next level in the new direction.
Features
Every confirmed CISD is drawn as a horizontal level from the anchor candle to the confirmation candle, labelled with an up or down arrow. The active level that would confirm the next change in state is always visible and updates live as the swing extends.
A compact strip shows the CISD state on M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 and W1, with a bullish/bearish count, a bias meter and a highlight on the current chart timeframe. The panel is draggable, remembers its position, and adapts to dark or light chart themes.
You can filter signals (all, buy only, sell only, or hidden), receive notifications by terminal popup, mobile push or email, and optionally hide the chart grid and limit how many historical levels are displayed.
How it is used
CISD is a confirmation tool. It does not draw other SMC concepts such as order blocks or fair value gaps. A common approach is to wait for a CISD in the opposite direction after a liquidity sweep, or to use a lower timeframe CISD as the entry trigger when price reaches a point of interest such as an order block, FVG or premium/discount zone. The strip helps you keep lower timeframe signals in line with higher timeframe bias, for example taking bullish M5 signals while H1 and H4 are bullish. The CISD level after displacement can also serve as a reference for invalidation and stop placement.

Notes
Levels on closed candles are final. On the live candle, a CISD can appear and disappear until the candle closes, so use On Candle Close notifications for confirmed signals only. On first load, a strip timeframe may show as loading until the terminal downloads its data. Daily and weekly states follow your broker's server time. The indicator works on all symbols, including forex, gold, silver, indices and crypto.
