CISD – Institutional Structure, Displacement & IPDA Framework

by calmstrades

Overview

CISD – Change In State of Delivery is an institutional-grade market structure and displacement framework designed to objectively identify state transitions in price delivery, validated pullbacks, and IPDA-based expansion targets across all timeframes.

This tool is built for traders who operate using institutional market structure, displacement logic, and probabilistic expansion models, not lagging indicators or retail oscillators.

CISD does not repaint, does not rely on hindsight pivots, and is designed to be used in real-time execution environments.

Core Concepts Behind CISD
1. Change in State of Delivery (CISD)

A CISD event occurs when:

Price breaks structure

A valid pullback is formed

Price displaces and closes beyond the pullback origin

This represents a true shift in orderflow, not a simple liquidity raid or wick.

The indicator automatically detects and plots:

Bullish CISD levels (+CISD)

Bearish CISD levels (−CISD)

Each CISD level acts as:

A state boundary

A bias confirmation level

A high-probability continuation or failure reference

2. Institutional Pullback Validation

Unlike basic BOS tools, CISD:

Tracks real pullbacks, not arbitrary candle counts

Uses open/close logic, not just highs and lows

Invalidates weak structure breaks automatically

This eliminates:

Fake breakouts

Liquidity-only moves

Retail “structure spam”

3. CISD Level Management

Each CISD level is:

Extended forward dynamically

Tracked until invalidated by a close

Optionally removed or preserved using Keep Old CISD Levels

Once a CISD is completed:

The market state flips Bullish ↔ Bearish

A new opposing CISD sequence begins

Fractal IPDA Standard Deviation Engine

This script also includes a multi-timeframe IPDA deviation framework, inspired by institutional expansion models.

What It Plots:

0 and 1 anchors

Custom deviation levels (user-defined)

Expansion targets above and below structure

Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and Intraday fractals

How It Works:

Automatically detects swing highs/lows

Anchors deviations from true displacement legs

Supports fractal alignment across timeframes

This allows traders to:

Project probable delivery ranges

Identify premium/discount expansion zones

Align CISD with measured institutional objectives

Market Structure (ICT-Style Swing Framework)

Included is a multi-tier swing labeling system:

Short-Term (ST)

Intermediate-Term (IT)

Long-Term (LT)

This helps visualize:

Structural progression

Liquidity ladders

Higher timeframe narrative vs execution timeframe

Time-Based Institutional Markers

The script draws vertical session markers aligned to key institutional timing windows (timezone selectable), including:

Asia open/close transitions

London & New York inflection points

Killzone reference timing

These are time-based context tools, not trade signals.

Alerts (Optional)

You may enable alerts for:

Bullish CISD confirmation (close above −CISD)

Bearish CISD confirmation (close below +CISD)

Alerts only trigger on confirmed closes, never intrabar noise.

How to Use CISD (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 – Define the Narrative

Use higher timeframes (HTF):

Identify current market state

Note the most recent CISD level

Align with IPDA deviation targets

Step 2 – Wait for CISD Confirmation

A valid setup requires:

Structure break

Pullback formation

Close beyond CISD level

No close = no confirmation.

Step 3 – Use CISD as Bias & Risk Reference

Once confirmed:

CISD acts as directional bias

CISD level acts as risk boundary

Entries are refined using:

Lower timeframe structure

Liquidity interaction

Time-of-day alignment

Step 4 – Target IPDA Deviations

Use deviation levels as:

Partial take-profit zones

Full delivery objectives

Trailing bias checkpoints

What This Indicator Is NOT

❌ A buy/sell signal generator

❌ A scalping shortcut

❌ A repainting structure tool

❌ A retail oscillator strategy

This is a context and execution framework.

Best Use Cases

Futures (ES, NQ, YM, RTY)

FX majors

Indices & high-liquidity assets

ICT / Smart Money models

Intraday to swing trading

Final Notes

CISD is designed for traders who:

Understand market structure

Respect displacement

Trade with narrative, not indicators

If you don’t wait for confirmation, CISD will not save you.
If you do, it will keep you aligned with true institutional delivery.
