CISD Risk Calculator Indicator Explanation
The CISD Risk Calculator is a specialized trading indicator that helps traders identify key market structure changes and automatically calculate optimal position sizing based on risk parameters. Here's a detailed explanation of what it does:

Core Functionality: CISD Detection
CISD stands for "Change In Structure Direction," which identifies important shifts in market structure:

Market Structure Analysis: The indicator constantly analyzes price action to detect when the market structure changes from bullish to bearish or vice versa.

Bullish CISD: Occurs when price makes a higher high, then retraces, but fails to make a lower low. This suggests a potential bullish continuation.

Bearish CISD: Occurs when price makes a lower low, then bounces, but fails to make a higher high. This suggests a potential bearish continuation.

Risk Calculation Features
The primary purpose of this modified indicator is to calculate trading risk:

Points Risk Calculation: The indicator measures the distance in points (price units) between the current price and the relevant structure level (high or low).

Automatic Contract Value Detection: It automatically detects what instrument you're trading (ES, NQ, MES, MNQ) and applies the correct point value:

NQ: $20 per point
MNQ: $2 per point
ES: $50 per point
MES: $5 per point
Position Sizing Calculation: Using your inputted dollar risk amount (e.g., $250), it calculates exactly how many contracts you should trade to maintain that risk level.

Visual Interface
The indicator has a minimalist design:

Central Display Panel: Shows key information at the top center of your chart:

CISD Type (Bullish or Bearish)
Points Risk (distance to your stop level)
Trade Risk (recommended number of contracts)
Invisible CISD Levels: The actual CISD lines and markers are completely invisible, keeping your chart clean while still performing calculations.

Simple Settings: Only shows essential settings:

Dollar Risk Amount: How much money you want to risk
Label Color and Text Color: For visual customization
Text Size: Adjusts the display size
