WDA Duck Soup (CS&D) Change State & Dip

The WDA Duck Soup (CS&D) indicator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify potential market reversals and momentum shifts in real-time. CS&D stands for "Change State & Dip," representing moments when the market potentially transitions from bullish to bearish sentiment (or vice versa), indicating price action may "dip" or run toward the opposing directional bias.

How It Works
Core Logic
The CS&D indicator monitors price delivery patterns and identifies when market structure suggests a potential change in directional bias. When price fails to maintain its current state of delivery and begins moving toward opposing levels, the indicator flags this as a potential "Change State & Dip" moment.

Break Confirmation: Validates when price action breaks below/above established delivery levels
Duration Analysis: Ensures signals meet minimum duration requirements for reliability
Trend Context: Considers existing trend direction for signal classification

CS&D Labels: Clear directional labels marking state change confirmations
Delivery Lines: Horizontal lines showing current state of delivery levels
Directional Arrows: Up/down arrows indicating expected price movement direction
Session Zones: Background highlighting and high/low lines for session context
