Change in State of Delivery: Early Reversal Signals and Liquidity Sweeps

Summary

Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is presented as an early signal that a directional leg may have failed. It marks the point when a candle closes back across the open of the first candle that began the leg. A bullish leg’s origin level can trigger a bearish signal when price closes below it; a bearish leg’s level can trigger a bullish signal when price closes above it. This makes CISD earlier than a Market Structure Shift, which waits for a confirmed pivot break, but also more prone to false signals.

The indicator offers a Classic mode that arms a level after each directional change and a more selective Liquidity Sweep mode, which requires a prior swing high or low to be swept and rejected. Minimum and maximum sequence durations filter signals and expire old levels. The description suggests using sweep signals for reversal or continuation setups, with later structure breaks as confirmation and other chart context as confluence. It explains the logic and display behavior but supplies no backtest or evidence of profitability; the signals are presented as trading tools whose reliability must be assessed in context.

Key ideas

• CISD triggers when a close crosses the origin candle’s open for the current directional leg.
• CISD aims to signal a change earlier than a Market Structure Shift, with greater false-signal risk.
• Classic mode arms levels on directional changes, while Sweep mode requires a prior swing sweep and rejection.
• Sequence duration limits can filter or expire pending levels.
• The description proposes CISD as a trigger with later structure confirmation, but provides no performance evidence.
