MTF POI + CISD
Feb 24, 2026

The MTF POI + CISD indicator provides a comprehensive institutional trading framework by automating the identification of Points of Interest (POI), liquidity levels, and market structure shifts across multiple timeframes.
Usage
The indicator serves as an all-in-one execution tool for traders following institutional order flow concepts. It identifies high-probability zones and confirms entries through internal market structure shifts.
POI Identification
The script automatically plots Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Order Blocks (Mitigation Zones) across up to four user-defined timeframes. These zones dynamically update; as price interacts with them, they collapse or disappear upon full mitigation to ensure chart clarity.
Liquidity Mapping
High-timeframe liquidity is tracked using Pivot Highs and Lows from 4H and 1H periods. The script marks Buyside Liquidity (BSL) and Sellside Liquidity (SSL), changing their appearance once a "sweep" (wick or close) occurs.
Execution & Management
When price enters a POI, the CISD (Change in State of Delivery) engine looks for a specific candle open to be reclaimed as a confirmation of reversal. Upon confirmation:
- An automated trade setup is drawn with Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels.
- The system calculates the appropriate lot size based on account risk settings and the current instrument.
- Trailing logic moves the Stop Loss to Break Even once a specific R:R trigger is reached.
Details
CISD (Change in State of Delivery)
The CISD logic is a refined method of identifying structure shifts. Instead of simple high/low breaks, it identifies the specific "delivery" candle within the POI. A confirmed close beyond this level validates the institutional shift.
Position Sizing
The built-in calculator supports various asset classes including XAUUSD, XAGUSD, and major Forex pairs. It uses ATR-based buffers for stop loss placement to account for market volatility.
