CRT - Candle Range Theory

avant-hier

CRT - Candle Range Theory is an indicator that identifies CRT patterns based on the concept of liquidity sweeps and price rejection.

WHAT IS CRT?

A CRT (Candle Range Theory) pattern occurs when:
- A "Parent" candle establishes a range (High/Low)
- The next candle sweeps beyond one side of that range (liquidity grab)
- But closes back INSIDE the parent range (rejection)

This creates a potential reversal signal as liquidity has been taken and price rejected continuation.

PATTERN TYPES

BEARISH CRT
- CRT candle sweeps above Parent High
- Does NOT sweep below Parent Low
- Closes inside Parent range

BULLISH CRT
- CRT candle sweeps below Parent Low
- Does NOT sweep above Parent High
- Closes inside Parent range

ALERT TYPES

The indicator offers three alert filters based on the strength of rejection:

1. Close NOT Reach 50%
Strongest rejection - Close doesn't even retrace to the 50% level of the parent range.
Bearish: Close > 50% | Bullish: Close < 50%

2. Price NOT Reach 50%
Price (wick) doesn't reach the 50% level at all.
Bearish: Low > 50% | Bullish: High < 50%

3. Basic CRT
Any valid CRT pattern without the 50% filter.
