AR–CISD-Market Shift-FVG

AR–CISD-Market Shift-FVG is a precision price-action indicator that combines three core ideas in one tool:
• Shift → market structure breaks (internal + major) using a wick→body confirmation model.
• CISD → Change in State of Delivery, where one-sided orderflow is decisively wiped out.
• FVG → cleaned-up, ATR-filtered Fair Value Gaps that only highlight meaningful imbalances.
It’s built to give you structure, delivery and imbalance on a single chart without turning everything into spaghetti.

What it plots
1. Shift (structure breaks)
• Detects both internal and major structural breaks from user-defined pivots.
• Uses a wick→body close (no zigzags, no candle-by-candle stepping).
• Optional displacement gating (ATR-aware): the break candle must have
o a minimum body size vs ATR,
o decent body/range ratio,
o close near the bar’s extreme,
o and close beyond the broken level by a fraction of ATR.
• Internal and major breaks that occur at (almost) the same price are merged into a single “Shift” line, so you see one clean level instead of two overlapping labels.
2. CISD (Change in State of Delivery)
• Looks for a run of one-sided candles (e.g. a series of reds) that is taken out by the opposite side.
• Uses strict validation to avoid random noise:
o Opposite run must be longer / more meaningful than the wipe run (Opp ÷ Cur ratio).
o Wipe bar must show real displacement (body vs ATR + body/range).
o Opposite run must span a minimum price range vs ATR and contain at least one non-doji candle.
o Optional EMA baseline and de-dup (time + ATR-scaled price radius) to prevent spam.
• When valid, it draws a wick→body horizontal line with inline CISD text, rendered as
---- CISD ---- in bull or bear color.
3. FVG (Fair Value Gaps)
• Detects 3-bar FVGs only when the gap exceeds a minimum ATR-scaled size, so tiny micro-gaps are ignored.
• Boxes project forward for N bars and are automatically removed on fill.
• Labels are small and slightly dim, so they support structure/CISD rather than overpower them.
(If you enabled it in the inputs, you’ll also see optional VI (Volume Imbalance) hints as tiny horizontal tags when a body gap clears the prior body band with elevated volume.)

Inputs & usage tips
• Shift block – control pivot sensitivity (L/R & Li/Ri), displacement rules, equality tolerance, and whether to extend lines right.
• CISD block – adjust min opposite bars, max wipers, strict filters (ATR, body/range, range vs ATR), EMA context, and de-dup radius.
• FVG block – set the minimum FVG size (×ATR), right extension, how many to track, and label style.
• If you see too many lines, first tighten CISD strictness and Shift displacement, or increase pivot lengths, before touching anything else.
• On your execution timeframe, look for Shift + CISD + FVG lining up in the same leg or zone – that’s where the indicator is telling a strong, consistent story about structure, delivery, and imbalance.
