HTF CISD Projections

The HTF CISD Projections indicator identifies institutional price levels by calculating and projecting Change in Support and Demand (CISD) zones while filtering for high time frame trend alignment to improve trade setup accuracy.

# Usage The HTF CISD Projections indicator is designed to help traders pinpoint potential reversal or breakout zones based on market structure shifts. To use this tool effectively, focus on the projected levels that extend from the initial CISD setup.

• Trend Alignment: The indicator automatically filters setups based on the 1H and 4H 200 EMA trends. Only look for bullish setups when price is above these moving averages and bearish setups when price is below them.
• Projections: The indicator creates multiple horizontal lines based on multipliers of the initial range. These act as potential take profit or target zones.
• Contextual Analysis: Utilize the additional lines representing the previous 1H and 4H high and low levels. These levels often serve as significant dynamic support or resistance areas that complement the primary CISD projections.
• Setup Invalidation: The tool includes an option to invalidate CISDs upon a confirmed Change of Character (CHoCH). If price closes beyond the initial range, the projection becomes less reliable, allowing you to manage risk by avoiding trades that have violated the setup conditions.

# Details This script is constructed to automate the identification of CISD patterns. It calculates the high and low of a specified range, looks for a trigger (a price action shift relative to the open), and then draws visual projections based on user defined multipliers.

The integration of the HTF filter ensures that the script only highlights setups that align with the broader market momentum, reducing false signals in ranging markets. The inclusion of previous 1H and 4H session highs and lows provides traders with key liquidity levels, making it a comprehensive tool for technical analysis. The implementation uses custom data structures to track individual runs and their associated lines, ensuring that levels remain accurate even as the price moves forward.

# Settings

### Projections

• Bars Threshold: Defines the minimum number of bars required to form a valid setup range.
• CISD Filter: Enables or disables the filter that isolates setups occurring at the extremes of a price range over a specified number of bars.
• Invalidate CISDs on CHoCH: If enabled, the indicator will stop extending levels once price closes outside the original range, signaling that the structural setup has failed.

### HTF Filter

• Enable HTF Trend Filter: When active, the indicator only displays CISD setups that align with the 1H and 4H EMA trends.
• Trend EMA Length: Sets the period for the moving averages used to determine the current trend direction.

### Style

• Level Multipliers: Allows for the customization of up to five different projection levels, each with its own style (Dotted, Dashed, Solid) and distance multiplier.
• Background Fill: Toggles a visual fill for the projected zones to make target areas easier to spot on the chart.
• Labels Size: Adjusts the font size for the labels associated with each projection line.
