CRT Master EA MT5

CRT Master EA is an automated trading system based on Candle Range Theory (CRT) and market structure concepts (Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution).
The Expert Advisor identifies liquidity sweeps where price temporarily manipulates outside a defined accumulation range before returning inside. It automatically executes trades based on structural confirmation, managing position sizing, stops, targets, and trailing rules.
A manual indicator version of this logic is available as the CRT Master Indicator on my MQL5 profile.
Key Features
- Automated CRT Execution: Detects market cycles and places trades following confirmed liquidity sweeps (buying after bullish sweeps, selling after bearish sweeps).
- Flexible Execution Modes: Supports Market orders for instant execution, Limit orders for pullback entries, and Stop orders for breakout confirmation.
- Dynamic and Static SL/TP: Position stops can be placed dynamically using structural manipulation extremes or statically using fixed point values and risk-to-reward ratios.
- Position Sizing Options: Supports Fixed Lot sizes, Fixed Currency Risk ($), or Percentage Risk of Account Balance per trade.
- Position Management Rules: Includes automated Breakeven logic and a trailing stop mechanism that activates after reaching a configurable profit trigger.
- Time-Based Exits and Order Expiration: Automatically closes positions after a specified number of bars and cancels pending orders when a new structural range forms or time limits expire.
