CRT Master Indicator identifies market structure cycles based on Candle Range Theory (CRT) and institutional order flow principles: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
The indicator identifies range sweeps (liquidity grabs) where price manipulates past structural high/low levels before closing back inside the range. It provides visual zone mapping and multi-timeframe context through Ghost Candles.
An automated trading version of this logic is available as the CRT Master EA on my MQL5 profile.
Key Features
- Market Phase Identification: Automatically marks Accumulation (range creation), Manipulation (liquidity sweeps), and Distribution (expansion moves).
- Flexible Range Models: Supports standard Higher Timeframe (HTF) ranges (such as H4 or D1) as well as custom intraday session windows (e.g., Asian Session).
- Higher Timeframe Ghost Candles: Overlays higher timeframe candle structures directly on the chart for continuous context without needing multiple chart windows.
- Manipulation Depth Filter: Requires sweeps to breach range boundaries by a configurable percentage before confirming a setup.
- Real-Time Notifications: Triggers terminal alerts and push notifications when a manipulation setup closes back inside the range.
