CRT Ghost Candle HTF Fractal is a complete institutional-grade market structure toolkit for MetaTrader 5. It projects higher-timeframe candle structure, CRT trap levels, session levels, previous period highs and lows, pivot points, and a real-time bias dashboard directly onto your lower-timeframe execution chart.
The core problem it solves: higher-timeframe context controls price direction, but execution happens on lower timeframes. Instead of switching between charts, this indicator compresses everything you need from H1, H4, and D1 into a single clean overlay on your M5 or M15 working chart.
This is not a signal indicator. It is a pure context and structure framework designed for discretionary traders who make their own decisions.
What Is Included
Ghost Candle HTF Projection — Higher-timeframe candles rendered as visual overlays on lower-timeframe charts across 3 independent timeframe clusters (TF1, TF2, TF3), each with configurable candle count and spacing.
CRT Trap Levels — Automatic detection of Candle Range Theory liquidity sweeps with visual separation between Pending CRT (solid, active) and Completed CRT (dotted, confirmed). Includes a Both-Side Sweep Filter that removes volatile expansion candles that sweep both highs and lows, isolating genuine manipulation setups.
Previous Period Levels — Automatic PDH/PDL (Previous Day High/Low), PWH/PWL (Previous Week High/Low), and PMH/PML (Previous Month High/Low) with configurable lookback depth, individual color control, and label positioning above or below each level.
Session Levels — Asian, London, and New York session highs and lows drawn automatically using server time. Session hours are fully adjustable for any broker timezone. Labels can be placed on the left, right, or center of each session range.
Pivot Points — Classic PP = (H+L+C)/3 and Weighted PP = (H+L+2C)/4 calculations with full R1/S1, R2/S2, R3/S3 support on both Weekly and Monthly timeframes. Each level can be toggled independently with lookback history.
Bias Dashboard — A compact on-chart panel showing Daily and Weekly directional bias with the reasoning behind each reading: CRT-based sweeps, structure breaks, failed breaks, or inside range conditions.
Period Separators — Vertical markers for TF1, TF2, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly boundaries with customizable lookback, color, and line style.
Chart Themes — Four built-in chart schemes: Institutional White, Dark Mode, Standard Default, or Keep Your Existing Settings. Applied automatically on load.
CRT Alerts — Desktop popup, mobile push notification, and email alerts for confirmed CRT events on each timeframe independently. Built-in duplicate prevention logic ensures one alert per confirmed setup. Alert reinit suppression prevents false triggers when switching timeframes or changing parameters.
How Traders Use It
Higher-Timeframe Context:
Identify HTF candle direction and range using Ghost Candles. Observe CRT trap levels forming and completing in real time. Reference previous period highs and lows and pivot points for confluence zones. Read the Bias Dashboard for a quick structural summary before placing any trade.
Lower-Timeframe Execution:
Execute on M1 through M15 using CRT levels, session levels, and previous period levels as structural reference points. Align entries with HTF reactions and liquidity sweeps visible through the Ghost Candle overlay. Receive alerts when new CRT setups confirm on your chosen timeframes.
The indicator provides structure and context. It works alongside any entry model, whether ICT, SMC, supply and demand, or any price-action approach, without interfering with trade management or generating signals.
Customization
All visual components are fully user-controlled: timeframes, ghost candle count and spacing, CRT scan depth, previous period lookback, pivot calculation method, session hours, separator visibility, dashboard position, colors, line styles, label positions (above or below each level, left or right alignment), and chart theme. Over 100 input parameters organized into clean collapsible groups.

the CRT Ghost Candle indicator is a solid visual tool for identifying candle range behavior and potential momentum shifts. It helps simplify price action by clearly highlighting ghost candle formations without cluttering the chart. Best used with higher-timeframe bias and structure for confirmation rather than as a standalone signal. Overall, a useful addition for traders focusing on CRT and price-action concepts.
