CISD & OB - The Real ICT Way - Edu [BLAZ]

ICT Order Blocks & CISD
This indicator is based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and highlights Order Blocks (OB) and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD) — two foundational concepts for understanding institutional order flow and potential market turning points.

Order Block (OB)

An Order Block represents a specific price zone where institutional participants (“smart money”) have executed substantial buy or sell orders. These zones often precede significant price movements and are commonly identified on candlestick charts by observing the following behaviour:

• A strong impulsive move in price that closes above or below the open price of an opposing candle (or series of candles).
  

Types of Order Blocks:

• Bullish Order Block
  A bullish OB forms when a bullish impulsive move closes above the open of the first bearish candle (or sequence of bearish candles). This signals strong buying interest at that level.
  
  
• Bearish Order Block
  A bearish OB forms when a bearish impulsive move closes below the open of the first bullish candle (or sequence of bullish candles). This indicates significant selling pressure.
  

These areas often act as high-probability zones for price reversals, continuation, or liquidity grabs, and are widely monitored by ICT-based traders.

Change in State of Delivery (CISD)

A CISD marks a shift in market sentiment, structure, or institutional order flow. It is represented by the first OB that forms in the opposite direction of the prevailing market trend or prior OB.

Types of CISD:

• Bullish CISD: The first bullish OB following a bearish OB or bearish CISD.
  
• Bearish CISD: The first bearish OB following a bullish OB or bullish CISD.
  

CISDs are critical in identifying potential trend reversals or transitions between accumulation and distribution phases. They help traders anticipate shifts in directional bias and refine entry timing.

This indicator is designed to visually capture these important zones and transitions, providing users with a clearer understanding of where institutional activity may influence price and where key structural shifts occur.
