Flow State Model

Comprehensive framework consolidating FVG detection, CISD, and multi-timeframe analysis with a trade checklist.

Overview

The Flow State Model is a comprehensive framework indicator that consolidates Fair Value Gap detection, Change in State of Delivery identification, and multi-timeframe analysis into a single chart overlay. The goal is to create an environment where every critical piece of information is visible at once, so execution feels natural.

The indicator automatically manages 4-hour, Daily, and Weekly FVG references while using ATR-based sensitivity filtering and configurable lookback periods to prevent chart clutter.

How We Use It

We use the Flow State Model on 1-minute charts during live sessions. The workflow: identify setups where CISD markers appear following liquidity sweeps, with unmitigated FVGs remaining in the displacement zone.

The checklist enforces discipline — we require confirmation of at least 3–4 confluence items before executing a trade.
