The Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Indicator for MetaTrader 4 by LuxAlgo is a Smart Money Concept (SMC) tool built to identify structural shifts in price delivery. It detects transitions between bullish and bearish market behavior using swing-based logic and clearly labeled chart signals.
Designed for traders who follow order flow, liquidity concepts, and Market Structure strategies, the CISD Indicator helps pinpoint moments when institutional control may be shifting. It works seamlessly across all timeframes and asset classes, making it suitable for both intraday and swing trading approaches.
How the CISD Indicator Works
The CISD Indicator analyzes swing highs and lows to determine when price delivery changes from one directional bias to another.
Signal Logic
- Teal “CISD” Label – Appears when price shifts from bearish to bullish delivery, signaling potential buyer control.
- Red “CISD” Label – Marks a transition from bullish to bearish delivery, suggesting increasing seller dominance.
These labels typically form near swing points, where structural breaks or delivery shifts occur. Because the indicator does not repaint historical signals, traders can rely on confirmed structural transitions for strategy development and backtesting.
Trading Applications
- Market Structure Shifts – Identify early transitions in directional bias.
- Trend Reversals – Spot potential turning points aligned with institutional logic.
- Bias Confirmation – Use CISD labels to validate higher timeframe direction.
- Entry Timing – Combine with liquidity sweeps, displacement candles, or supply/demand zones for precision entries.
- SMC Strategy Integration – Align with order block and liquidity-based frameworks.
For optimal results, traders often confirm CISD signals with additional confluence tools such as volume analysis or structural break confirmation.
