Model CISD Plus: Trading the Change in State of Delivery
The CISD Plus (Change in State of Delivery - Advanced) model is one of the highest probability reversal setups in ICT trading. It merges HTF bias, liquidity wicks, correlation checks (SMT) and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) for precise timing.
5 Pillars of the CISD Plus Setup
1. HTF PDA Delivery
The market must reprice into a High Timeframe PD Array (H1/H4 FVG, H4 OB, Rejection Block, etc.) before look-in triggers.
2. Liquidity Sweep / Stop Hunt
A clear sweep of Buyside/Sellside Liquidity must happen at the HTF PD Array to clear retail stops.
3. SMT Divergence
Correlation checks (e.g. NQ vs ES wicks) showing divergence, indicating heavy institutional absorption.
4. CISD + FVG Confirmation
A body close past the last up/down candle (CISD) creating a clear FVG. We place a Limit order directly at this FVG.
5. Target (Unfilled Liquidity)
Profit taking points are aimed at EQL/EQH, trendline liquidity, PDH/PDL, and unfilled FVGs opposite.
