📌 CRT (CANDLE RANGE THEORY); SIMPLIFIED FOR TRADERS 👀👇
CRT helps you combine Higher Timeframe direction with Lower Timeframe entry.
✅ HTF → LTF (Timeframe Combination);
1 Week → 4 Hrs
1 Day → 1 Hr
4 Hrs → 15 Min
1 Hr → 5 Min
30 Min → 3 Min
15 Min → 1 Min
✅ LTF Sequence to Follow;
CRT (Turtle Body Sweep)
CISD
OTE
MSS
IDM
✅ CRT Key Levels to Watch;
Order Block (OB)
FVG (Fair Value Gap)
OHP / OLP (Open High Point / Open Low Point)
RB (Rejection Block)
IDM (Imbalance)
✅ Buy Signal:
When market price closes BELOW OHP or ABOVE OLP
✅ Confirmation;
FVG + Order Block together = high probability trade
✅ Targets;
Target 1 → 50%
Target 2 → 100%
✍️ One level is a guess. FVG + OB together is a trade.
You’ll never understand the futures market until you understand the options market
Futures “Smart Money” traders are market makers who provide liquidity to SPX
There are levels where they have exposure (GEX) and if these levels are hit, they have to buy or sell the underlying asset to hedge
The easiest way to do this is to buy or sell futures since the delta of futures contracts are constant ($50 per point on ES, 20 on NQ)
Understanding these levels gives you a REAL edge
Similar to volume profile, it’s backed on data
When your edge is built on data and you can explain it > you have more conviction = less trading psychology problems
If you can’t explain why your edge works, you don’t have an edge
Backtesting, patterns, NONE of this matters if you don’t have a reason why your edge works
Candle range theory (CRT TIPS
Monthly CRT - Daily model 1
Weekly CRT - 4h model 1
Daily CRT - 1h model 1

Lose sleep over this simple
All you need is 1–2 clean 4H CRT setups per week to make serious money.
You don’t have to trade every single candle.
You don’t need to catch every swing.
Quality over quantity, always.
The question I’m asked most often is: "What's your win rate using CRT?"
Here are the numbers.
- My win rate is 76%.
- My average risk–reward ratio is 1:3.
- My risk per trade is 0.5%, and it remains constant.
Bias → Context → Conformation → Timing.
