Advanced Candle Range Theory (CRT) Indicator v1.00
Identify High-Probability Market Reversals with Precision
The Advanced Candle Range Theory (CRT) Indicator is a sophisticated price-action trading tool designed to detect powerful 3-candle reversal patterns that signal potential trend changes. Based on proven candlestick theory, this indicator eliminates guesswork by automatically identifying setups, calculating precise entry levels, and providing clear take-profit and stop-loss targets.
What is Candle Range Theory?
CRT is a price-action methodology that identifies market reversals through a specific 3-candle structure:
- Candle 1 - Impulse: A strong directional candle (bullish or bearish) that establishes momentum
- Candle 2 - Trap: A small counter-trend candle that closes within the impulse candle's wick, creating a false breakout that traps late traders
- Candle 3 - Reversal: A strong candle in the opposite direction that engulfs the trap candle, confirming the reversal
This pattern capitalizes on market inefficiencies where smart money traps retail traders before reversing direction.
