How to Identify True Reversals with ICTโs Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
Read till the end and youโll know exactly how to spot reversals before they happen!๐ก

CISD (Change in State of Delivery)
Refers to a significant shift in how price is being delivered. From trending (expansion) to consolidation or vice-versa.
This will help you detect market shifting direction from bullish to bearish or vice-versa, based on the market behavior and current intent for the market delivery not the price patterns.
True Reversal is not Pullback
CISD helps filter out the fakeouts and retracement by identifying when Smart Money is done with one side of the market and targeting the next PD Array.
Step 1: Shift in Market Structure
A break in swing structure in a higher timeframe suggesting initial signs of reversal.

UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WIN
Manipulation: Many prop forms manipulate spreads to create sub-par trading conditions for traders. This increases chances of failure.
Psychological pressure: evaluation process, drawdown rules combined with a risk of losing a funded account or having strict trading limits, are designed to make you self-sabotage.
Leverage: Prop firms often provide high leverage, which is enticing but extremely risky.
Rules: Prop firms are loaded with rules to make it harder to achieve payouts. Your upside is their downside as a business.
Evaluation processes, drawdown limits, consistency rules, are all designed to make traders self sabotage.
Pricing: they charge relatively low fees compared to the account, which makes you feel like it's not a big deal to make mistakes. Since you can achieve another account easily.
How Prop Firms Make Money
Prop firms make money from evaluation fees, activation fees, & profit splits from sim-funded & live traders. Considering that 90% of traders are unprofitable, the most lucrative of these is failed evaluation fees from traders.

What is an Order Block (OB)?
An orderblock is defined as change in state of delivery. You mark orderblocks by marking up the last bullish/bearish candle or series of bullish/bearish candles before displacement.
Where Do You Find a High Probability Order Blocks (OB)
A High Probability OB is found near a PD array after a displacement, for example it will align itself with a FVG in the same direction of the given Bias.

What is an Order Block (OB)?
This is the last bullish/bearish candle before a strong displacement move that breaks a market structure.
What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
Also known as inefficiency This occurs when we have strong moves that create gaps between 1st and third the candle in the same direction.
This confirms a possibility that the price will revisit the place and also the price is moving in 1 direction with intent.
๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ:The most powerful FVG is aligned with an OB and the strongest OB is aligned with FVG. This remains the most powerful pair if you look closely.
The OB gives a structure and market intent where FVG offers refinement and entry precision.

Identify the Higher Timeframe Narrative
Starting with the weekly and daily charts, marking internal liquidities and external liquidities. Where is the price coming from and where is it going?
Are there external liquidity pools (highs/lows outside the previous week)?
Are we drawing to internal liquidity pools (these are usually found inside last weekโs range)?
These are all the questions you should ask and answer yourself.
Define The Weekly Target
Weekly price usually expands in one direction, after forming the high or low of the week early on (Mon-Tue) and expanding away.
If bullish, the low of the week is likely to form early on the week and expands upwards.
If bearish, the high of the week is likely to form early on the week and expands downwards.
This is when the price breaks a key swing high or low, signaling a potential change in directional bias. This often happens after liquidity sweep (liquidity grab).
