(CRT) MTF Candle Range Theory Model# 🚀 **CASH Pro MTF – Candle Range Theory (CRT) Indicator**
**The Smart Money ICT Setup Detector** 🔥
Hey Traders!
Here is the **ultimate Pine Script indicator** that automatically detects one of the most powerful Smart Money / ICT setups: **Candle Range Theory (CRT)**
---
### What is Candle Range Theory – CRT?
**CRT** is a high-probability price action model based on **liquidity grabs** and **range expansion**.
Price loves to:
1️⃣ Raid the low/high of the previous candle (take stop-losses)
2️⃣ Then reverse and run to the opposite side of the range (or beyond)
When this happens near a **key higher-timeframe level**, magic happens!
### Bullish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF support**
- Previous candle closes near that support
- Next candle **sweeps the low** (grabs liquidity)
- Current candle **closes above the raided low AND breaks the high** of the sweep candle
**Result → Aggressive bullish move expected!**
**Entry:** On close above the high (or on retest + MSS)
**Stop Loss:** Below the swept low
**Take Profit:** CRT High or next liquidity pool
### Bearish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF resistance**
- Previous candle closes near resistance
- Next candle **sweeps the high** (grabs buy stops)
- Current candle **closes below the raided high AND breaks the low** of the sweep candle
**Result → Strong bearish expansion!**
**Entry:** On close below the low
**Stop Loss:** Above the swept high
**Take Profit:** CRT Low or next downside liquidity
This whole setup can form in **just 3 candles**… or sometimes more if price consolidates after the sweep.

LockedEye MTF CRT Map SentinelOverview
This script provides a structured multi-timeframe display of market conditions.
It summarizes key elements from M1 up to D1 using five components:
- CRT (Continuation/Reversal Trigger)
- MA6 micro-trend filter
- Candle-close direction
- MA250 macro trend filter
- Sentiment percentage computed from the above signals
The panel is designed to present information at a glance, allowing traders to understand how different timeframes align or disagree.
The purpose is not to merge random indicators. Each row uses a specific rule-based calculation that contributes to an integrated multi-timeframe read. The focus is on market structure, micro-trend, and directional pressure as expressed across several intervals.
How the Script Works
The script does not rely on external indicators. All calculations are performed internally through candle relationships, moving averages, MTF requests, and simple classification logic.
1. CRT Logic (Continuation and Reversal)
CRT identifies two types of behavior in each timeframe:
Continuation: The current candle closes outside the previous candle’s high or low.
Reversal after a sweep: Price takes the previous high or low but closes back inside the range.
A close outside the previous range suggests continuation.
A sweep followed by a close back inside suggests a shift in pressure or reversal .
The CRT row labels these conditions as Bull, Bear, or Wait.
2. MA6 Micro-Trend
The script uses a 6-period simple moving average to understand immediate trend pressure.
Close and open both above the MA6 = Bull
Close and open both below the MA6 = Bear
Mixed = Wait
This gives a quick view of short-term momentum without repainting.
3. Candle-Close Direction
This uses a simple comparison:
Close > Open = Bull
Close < Open = Bear
Equal = Neutral
It is a raw directional signal without interpretation.
4. MA250 Macro Filter
The script applies a 250-period MA to understand the broader trend.
Break above the MA250 = BR (BullRun)
Break below the MA250 = BC(BearCrash)
Inside range = Neutral
This acts as a long-term directional filter .
5. Sentiment Computation
The script aggregates CRT, MA6, and Candle-Close across all timeframes.
Each timeframe contributes a value.
The script then calculates the percentage of bull, bear, and neutral signals.
A short text summary explains whether signals are aligned or mixed.
How to Use the Panel
Multi-Timeframe Alignment
The panel is most useful when interpreting how lower and higher timeframes behave together:
When many timeframes show the same direction, it reflects stronger alignment.
When timeframes disagree, market conditions are more mixed or range-bound.
Users can watch for shifts when multiple rows turn from mixed to aligned.
Trend-Following Context
If higher timeframes (H2–D1) show consistent directional readings in CRT, MA6, and MA250, users may treat that as broader structural context.
Lower timeframes (M1–M15) can then be used to observe pullbacks or shifts within that larger trend.
Counter-Trend Context
If higher timeframes show one direction but lower timeframes show the opposite, this may indicate short-term reactions or pullbacks.
The script does not assume these reactions will continue; it only shows the multi-frame condition so users can decide how to interpret it.
Liquidity Sweep Context
CRT will classify moments when price takes a previous high or low and re-enters the range.
This is included so users can detect areas where the market moves beyond a level and immediately rejects it.
Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for:
CRT Bull or Bear flips on the chart’s timeframe
Multi-timeframe consensus reaching a user-defined threshold
Users can create alerts through the TradingView alert menu once the indicator is added to the chart.
Note:
The script includes a non-repaint mode for alert stability. This mode ensures only confirmed candle closes are used in calculations.
Chart Use
The script displays a fixed panel on the chart.
Users may select the panel’s position to avoid covering price action.
Users are advised to publish with a clean chart where only this script is active, unless pairing is required for explanation.
Toggles:
Close Candle(Non Repaint)
Monitor: BTCUSD along w RSI
Monitor 2: Any Coin
Flip M1-D1
Fast CRT
Final Notes
This script does not forecast future price movement and does not claim accuracy, profitability, or performance results.
It is a diagnostic tool that organizes real-time price behavior across multiple timeframes.
Users should apply their own judgment and risk management.

Auto HTF Candles [@gaucho_trader][Auto HTF Candles
(Title)
Tired of constantly switching between timeframes? 🔄 This indicator solves that problem by bringing Higher Timeframe (HTF) context directly onto your current chart.
Auto HTF Candles plots up to three different sets of HTF candles in a clean, non-intrusive panel on the right side of your screen. Now you can watch a 4H candle develop while analyzing price action on a 5-minute chart, all in one view.
Core Concept 🎯
The principle is simple: your lower timeframe (LTF) trading decisions become significantly more powerful when aligned with the HTF trend and structure. By displaying the live HTF candles, you can instantly see if the current LTF move is a weak pullback against a strong HTF candle or a powerful breakout from an HTF consolidation. This indicator provides that essential macro context without ever leaving your main chart.
Key Features 📊
📈 Display Multiple Timeframes: Plot up to three fully independent higher timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 15m, 1H, and 4H).
🤖 Automatic HTF Selection: Enable the "Auto-Adjust HTF 1" feature, and the script will intelligently select a logical higher timeframe for you based on your current chart.
⏳ Real-Time Countdown Timer: Each timeframe displayed includes a timer showing the exact time remaining until the current HTF candle closes. This is crucial for anticipating end-of-candle volatility.
🎨 Fully Customizable Appearance: You have complete control over the visual style. Adjust colors, candle width, spacing, and the padding from the live price.
✨ Clean & Organized Layout: The candles are neatly arranged to the right of the current price, ensuring your main chart remains clear and unobstructed.
How to Use It 💡
Context is King: Use the HTF candles to define your bias. If the 4H candle is strongly bullish, you can look for more confident long entries on your 5m chart.
Identify Key Levels in Real-Time: Watch the highs and lows of the HTF candles as they form. These levels often act as powerful intraday support and resistance.
Anticipate Reversals: Is the 1H candle approaching its close and printing a long upper wick? This could signal a potential reversal, giving you a heads-up before the pattern is obvious on the LTF.
Streamline Your Workflow: Use the "Auto-Adjust" feature for a dynamic analysis setup. As you switch between different charts, your most relevant HTF context will follow you automatically.
Main Settings ⚙️
HTF 1, 2, 3: Enable and select up to three custom timeframes and set how many recent candles you want to display for each.
Auto-Adjust HTF 1: The star of the show. Toggle this on to let the script automatically select the first HTF based on your chart's period.
Styling: A comprehensive section to modify all colors, candle width, and the spacing between candles and timeframes.
Label Settings: Independently control the visibility, color, and size of the HTF name labels and the countdown timers.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for market analysis and should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Always perform your own due diligence before making any trading decisions.
Automatic Higher Timeframe Dividers [@gaucho_trader]🧭 Overview
The HTF Separators (auto) indicator automatically draws vertical lines marking the start of each candle belonging to a higher–timeframe (HTF).
This allows you to visually identify the boundaries of higher–timeframe candles within your current chart — an essential concept for multi–timeframe (MTF) analysis.
For example:
On a 15-minute chart, each line marks the start of a new 4-hour candle.
On a 1-hour chart, the lines show where each daily candle begins.
On a daily chart, they highlight the start of each month.
These vertical separators help you recognize moments when price often reacts or shifts, since the open of a new higher-timeframe candle frequently aligns with impulses, reversals, or structural changes.
⚙️ Main Features
✅ Automatic timeframe mapping:
1m → 15m
3m → 30m
5m → 1H
15m → 4H
1H → 1D
4H → 1W
1D → 1M
✅ Full customization:
Line color
Line width
Style (solid, dashed, or dotted)
✅ Optional HTF label:
Display a small label showing the detected higher timeframe (e.g. “HTF: 4H”).
🧩 How to use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust the color, width, and style to your preference.
(Optional) Enable the label to display the current HTF being tracked.
Watch how vertical lines automatically appear whenever a new higher-timeframe candle starts.
This helps you align your trades and analysis with higher-timeframe structure, giving you a clearer understanding of market cycles and timing.
💡 Practical Example
If you trade on a 15-minute chart, each separator line represents the start of a 4-hour candle.
Use it to:
Understand the context of your current candle within the larger trend.
Spot key reaction points at HTF opens.
Time entries and exits around HTF shifts.
🧠 Best for
Traders using multi-timeframe analysis (MTF)
Intraday and swing traders seeking better HTF alignment
Anyone wanting a cleaner and more structured chart view
📈 Automatic Higher Timeframe Dividers is a lightweight, practical tool that brings clarity and temporal precision to your technical analysis — helping you instantly see where each major candle begins on your chart.
Equinox Wolf - ICT MacrosEquinox Wolf – ICT Macros plots the key ICT session macro windows on your chart so you can focus on how price behaves inside each time range. The script anchors every session to America/New_York time, updates live or in backtesting, and only keeps the current trading day on screen, avoiding clutter from prior sessions. Each window can be toggled individually, the box fill, borders, and high/low/equilibrium levels share global color and style controls, and the levels extend forward until the next macro begins. Use it to highlight the ICT LND, NYAM, lunch, afternoon, and final-hour ranges and monitor how price reacts around their highs, lows, and midpoints.

Fractal Market Model [BLAZ]Version 1.0 – Published August 2025: Initial release
1. Overview & Purpose
1.1. What This Indicator Does
The Fractal Market Model is an original multi-timeframe technical analysis tool that bridges the critical gap between macro-level market structure and micro-level price execution. Designed to work across all financial markets including Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Futures, and Commodities. While traditional Smart Money Concepts indicators exist, this implementation analyses multi-timeframe liquidity zones and price action shifts, marking potential reversal points where Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity sweeps coincide with Low Timeframe (LTF) price action dynamics changes.
Snapshot details: NASDAQ:GOOG , 1W Timeframe, Year 2025
1.2. What Sets This Indicator Apart
The Fractal Market Model analyses multi-timeframe correlations between HTF structural events and LTF price action. This creates a dynamic framework that reveals patterns observed historically in price behaviour that are believed to reflect institutional activity across multiple time dimensions.
The indicator recognizes that markets move in fractal cycles following the AMDX pattern (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal). By tracking this pattern across timeframes, it flags zones where price action dynamics characteristics have historically shown shifts. In the LTF, the indicator monitors for price closing through the open of an opposing candle near HTF swing highs or lows, marking this as a Change in State of Delivery (CISD), a threshold event where price action historically transitions direction.
Practical Value:
Multi-Timeframe Integration: Connects HTF structural events with LTF execution patterns.
Fractal Pattern Recognition: Identifies AMDX cycles across different time dimensions.
Price Behavior Analysis: Tracks CISD patterns that may reflect historical shifts in order flow commonly associated with institutional activity.
Range-Based Context: Analyses price action within established HTF liquidity zones.
1.3. How It Works
The indicator employs a systematic 5-candle HTF tracking methodology:
Candles 0-1: Accumulation phase identification.
Candle 2: Manipulation detection (raids previous highs/lows).
Candle 3: Distribution phase recognition.
Candle 4: Continuation/reversal toward opposite liquidity.
The system monitors for CISD patterns on the LTF when HTF manipulation candles close with confirmed sweeps, highlighting zones where order flow dynamics historically shifted within the established HTF range.

Left side: The session filter is disabled, resulting in four setups being displayed throughout the day—two during the London session and two during the New York session.
Right side: The session filter is enabled to display setups exclusively within the New York session (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM). Setups outside this time window are hidden. Since the total number of setups is limited to four, the indicator backfills by identifying and displaying two qualifying setups from earlier price action that occurred within the specified New York session window.

4. Closed-Source Protection Justification
4.1. Why This Indicator Requires Protected Source Code
The Fractal Market Model is the result of original research, development, and practical application of advanced price action frameworks. The indicator leverages proprietary algorithmic systems designed to interpret complex market behavior across multiple timeframes. To preserve the integrity of these innovations and prevent unauthorized replication, the source code is protected.
4.1.1. Key Proprietary Innovations
Real-Time Multi-Timeframe Correlation Engine: A dynamic logic system that synchronizes higher timeframe structural behaviour with lower timeframe execution shifts using custom correlation algorithms, adaptive thresholds, and time-sensitive conditions, supporting seamless fractal analysis across nested timeframes.
CISD Detection Framework: A dedicated mechanism for identifying Change in State of Delivery (CISD), where price closes through the open of an opposing candle at or near HTF swing highs or lows after liquidity has been swept. This is used to highlight potential zones of directional change based on historical order flow dynamics.
Fractal AMDX Cycle Recognition: An engineered structure that detects and classifies phases of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal (AMDX) across configurable candle sequences, allowing traders to visualize market intent within a repeatable cycle model.
Dynamic Invalidation Logic: An automated monitoring system that continually evaluates the validity of active setups. Setups are invalidated in real time when price breaches the extreme of the manipulation phase (C2), ensuring analytical consistency and contextual alignment.
4.1.2. Community Value
The closed-source nature of this tool protects the author’s original intellectual property while still delivering value to the TradingView community.

CRT + PO3 Range Theory Hey everyone, I’ve put together a little script for TradingView that tries to show the classic CRT + PO3 (Power of Three) pattern. It’s still a work in progress, so please use it on a demo account and let me know what you think!
What It Does
Accumulation Phase: On each higher‐timeframe bar (e.g. 2-hour), it draws a shaded zone where price is hanging out. That’s when we assume “big players” are quietly building positions.
Manipulation Phase: If price briefly pokes above or below that zone but then slips back inside, it marks that wick as a shake-out.
Distribution Phase: When price finally closes cleanly outside the zone, it draws another shaded area and drops a “Distribution” label plus a big LONG or SHORT arrow on that bar.
You can tweak it so it only shows signals when a bar closes (no more weird flashing mid-bar), or even allow “direct” Distribution on a clean breakout without waiting for a fake wick first.
How to Set It Up
Add the script from your Indicators list.
Pick your HTF (I like 2-hour or 4-hour).
Turn “Show Zone Labels” on or off—these are the little “Accumulation/Manipulation/Distribution” tags.
Turn “Show Entry Signals” on to get the big LONG/SHORT arrows.
If you hate flicker, check “Show signals only at bar close.”
If you want to catch a swift breakout (no fake-out needed), check “Allow direct Distribution on clean breakout.”
There are also sliders for zone colors, transparency, label size, and how far above/below the bars the labels sit.
Why It’s Still a Beta
I’m not a CRT/PO3 guru—this is more of a hobby project and a little facination for this strategy.
There might be edge cases where it misses a shake-out or flags a Distribution too early.
I take no responsibility for your trades—please only run it on a demo account until we’ve worked out the quirks.
Feedback Wanted!
If you try it out, I’d love to hear:
Did the Manipulation wicks line up where you expected?
Were the Distribution arrows on the right bars?
Any ideas for easier settings or extra alerts?
Thanks for testing and helping me turn this into something solid!

CandelaCharts - CRT Model📝 Overview
Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a framework that treats every candle as a tradable range. A candle defines high/low, the next candle often sweeps one side (manipulation), reclaims back inside, and distributes toward the opposite side with 50% of the range as a common first target.
It posits that each candlestick represents a distinct range of price action, defined by its high, low, open, and close, and that price movements are structured within these ranges.
📦 Features
Timeframe Pairing: This indicator highlights movements on lower timeframes within higher timeframe candles, providing insights into micro trends, structural changes, and potential entry points.
Bias Selection: This feature allows analysts to manage bias and identify setups, displaying bullish, bearish, or neutral models that align with higher timeframe trends.
Double Purge Sweeps: A double purge is a type of sweep where the price breaks both the high and low of the previous candle (through the wicks) before closing within the range of that same candle.
CRT Times: Times when high-probability CRTs occur.
HTF Candles: The CRT Model is rooted in the ICT Power of Three, assisting traders in identifying key turning points and market transitions across multiple timeframes.
Auto-bias: Identify models using the HTF candle bias

CRT H/L
The CRT Model follows a specific lifecycle, which highlights the current state of the model and determines whether a trade opportunity is valid.
The model's lifecycle includes the following statuses:
Formation (grey)
Invalidation (red)
Success (green)
By utilizing the phases of Formation, Invalidation, and Success, traders can efficiently manage their positions, reduce risk, and take advantage of high-probability setups offered by the CRT Model.
Trading Candle 2 (The Reversal)
Use Candle 2’s wick, body, and context to judge whether the next leg trends or mean-reverts.
Expansion vs. reversal
Expansion candle: Small wicks, strong body, one-way momentum.
Reversal (Candle 2): Drives opposite, prints a long opposing wick, closes near open—context decides if it’s tradable.
Key idea: Small wicks favor continued expansion; large wicks often cap expansion because the range was “spent” building the wick.
Why wick size matters
Small-wick reversal: More “runway”—target prior highs/lows, liquidity pools, standard-deviation projections.
Large-wick reversal: Range consumed—expect mean-reversion toward the open or session extremes.
Think of wick size as a fuel gauge: less wick → more potential.
Trading Candle 3 (The Continuation)
Candle 2 flips bias; Candle 3 aims to capture the follow-through (Candle 4 often offers secondary continuation).
Wick size on Candle 2 decides the play:
Small wick → you can trade Candle 2 directly.
Large wick → let Candle 2 close and trade Candle 3 instead.
Avoid chasing weak continuations:
If Candle 2 has already expanded hard, Candle 3 can become a chase into retrace/chop.
Demand extra LTF confluence: protected swings, SMT divergence, and multiple continuation cues aligning.

CandelaCharts - Fractal Range Model📝 Overview
The Fractal Range Model (FRM) is an all-encompassing and sophisticated trading framework that incorporates multiple market dynamics to provide a deeper understanding of price movements.
This model is built around several key principles, including Market Swing Points, Sweeps, Candle Mean, and Change in State of Delivery (CISD), which together offer a nuanced and effective approach to trading.
At its core, the model focuses on Market Swing Points, which represent crucial turning points in the market where price action shifts direction.
These points provide insight into potential reversals and momentum changes, allowing traders to identify key support and resistance areas.
Recognizing these swings is critical in anticipating future price movements and understanding the market’s underlying structure.
The Fractal Range Model (FRM) is a versatile trading strategy that adapts to various styles, whether you're into scalping, day trading, swing trading, or long-term investment. Its flexibility makes it suitable for traders with different time horizons and risk preferences, allowing it to be effectively applied across multiple market conditions.

The Fractal Range Model follows a specific lifecycle, which highlights the current state of the model and determines whether a trade opportunity is valid.
The model's lifecycle includes the following statuses:
Formation (grey)
Invalidation (red)
Success (green)
1. Formation
The Formation phase marks the initial setup of the Fractal Range Model. During this stage, the model identifies and plots key components, such as:
Sweeps: Market movements that indicate a potential reversal or strong shift in trend.
CISD (Change In State of Delivery): A structural change that provides insight into trend shifts.
Once these components are detected, the model automatically calculates and displays Projections and Liquidity Levels , offering insights into potential price action movements.
At this stage, the model also identifies and displays the following key elements:
HTF PD Arrays (Higher-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
LTF PD Arrays (Lower-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
If any of these elements are present, they will be automatically displayed on the chart.
2. Invalidation
A Fractal Range Model is considered invalidated when the price does not reach the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level, and when the price breaks above the high that formed the Sweep.
Invalidation signals that the original setup is no longer reliable, and traders should avoid taking action based on the model's original parameters.
Key invalidation conditions:
Price fails to reach the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price fails to reach the first liquidity level.
Price breaks the high/low that initiated the Sweep.
A potentially invalidated model is marked with a purple color above the label, indicating the sweep is invalidated by the next candle, but not the high that formed the sweep.
3. Success
A Fractal Range Model is considered successful when the price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level. This indicates that the model's predictions align with actual market movements, confirming the setup's validity and providing a potential trading signal.
At this stage, alongside Projections and Liquidity levels, you'll also notice the C-area — the region between the current candle's open and the previous candle's mean. If respected, price action will follow the model's direction.
Key success conditions:
Price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price reaches the first liquidity level.
By leveraging these phases, Formation, Invalidation, and Success, traders can effectively manage their positions, minimize risk, and capitalize on high-probability setups based on the Fractal Range Model.

ICT CRT Model Range with EquilibriumICT CRT Model Range with Equilibrium Indicator
This indicator calculates and displays the high, low, and equilibrium levels within a custom-defined session (9:00 am to 10:00 am New York Time and the lines will stop appearing at 16:00pm ). It draws horizontal lines to represent the session's range and marks the equilibrium point as a reference.
What is CRT (Candle Range Theory)?
Candle Range Theory (CRT) is based on the concept that every candle on any timeframe forms its own range. These ranges can either be manipulated—through strategies like Turtle Soup—or broken, resulting in price movements such as engulfing patterns, breakouts, and retests beyond the candle's high or low.
CRT is commonly visualized as a 3-candle model, but it can include more candles due to the presence of inside bars. An inside bar is a candle whose high is not higher than the previous candle's high and whose low is not lower than the previous candle's low.
The CRT model follows the A-M-D structure:
Accumulation (A): The first candle or group of candles (inside bars) represents market consolidation.
Manipulation (M): The second candle signals a false move, often a Turtle Soup setup designed to trap traders.
Distribution (D): The third candle confirms the true market move, breaking out of the range and establishing the trend.
Customizable Settings:
Line Colors: Choose your preferred colors for the high, low, and equilibrium lines.
Line Widths: Adjust the thickness of the lines for better visibility.
Line Styles: Select from solid, dotted, or dashed styles for each line.
Label Settings: Customize the text and colors of the labels for the high, low, and equilibrium points.
Traders can easily modify these settings to suit their visual preferences and trading strategies. This indicator is ideal for identifying price action within a specific range, offering clear visual cues for potential CRT Setup.

4H CRT (1AM and 5AM)This TradingView script is designed to assist traders in implementing the "4-Hour Candle Ranges Theory Strategy (CRT)" by identifying key levels and setups based on the 1am and 4am (5am) 4-hour candles. This strategy is particularly effective for trading high-volatility assets such as Gold, EUR/USD, NAS100, US30, and S&P500, with US30 showing a notably high win rate. Here's how the strategy works:
Key Features:
1. Marking 1am and 4am 4-Hour Candle Ranges
- The script highlights the high and low of the 1am 4-hour candle.
- It visually tracks whether the high or low of the 1am candle is taken out by the subsequent 4-hour candle (5am).
2. Entry Setup Rules
- Primary Setup: Wait for the high or low of the 1am candle to be taken out by the 5am candle. Once this sweep occurs, wait for a Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower time frame (15min) to confirm your entry.
- Secondary Setup: If the 5am candle fails to take out the high or low of the 1am candle, the setup focuses on the levels formed by the 5am candle.
3. Trade Execution on 15-Minute Timeframe
- The script supports a lower time frame (15min) view to identify MSS and fine-tune entries.
4. Rinse and Repeat
- This process can be applied daily for consistent opportunities across the specified assets.
Advantages:
- Provides clear visual markers for key levels based on the 4-hour candles.
- Automates level plotting, saving traders time and reducing manual errors.
- Integrates well with the 15-minute timeframe for precise entry triggers.
- Optimized for popular trading instruments, especially US30 for a higher probability of success.
This script simplifies the application of CRT by automating the process of identifying and marking critical levels, enabling traders to focus on executing high-probability setups effectively.
