Candle Range Theory (CRT)

hello everyone and welcome back this is a lesson on CRT as promised Kendall range Theory this is not going to be something for you guys looking for some type of Holy Grail or some spoonfed type of garbage um this is going to be an in-depth guide for the ones who want to learn more the ones who are dedicated literally everything you need to know about CRT will be in this video now if you want to learn more I suggest heading over to Romeo's Channel or sham let's get into it the CRT concept itself the theory itself is what helped me design my 9 A.M CR model so I've been getting a lot of comments telling me you're just preaching what Romeo States and what he says and teaches I am not the 9 am CR model is based around the power of three and CRT as well as the Open high low and close however it is a specific model designed on time time this right here is a CRT we have the first candle forming the range the high and the low the second candle manipulating below wicking turtle soup and the third candle Distributing higher where to the Range High so what is CRT CRT stands for candle range Theory CRT usually presents as a three candle model but it's not always going to be a three model sorry a three candle model usually it will be but it won't always be it's not restricted to three candles all right for example right here you can see multiple candles used in order to hit the Range High so we formed a range inside bar turtle soup the low heading all the way to the high of the range as I say right here there's two types of CRT models that can form the three candle model which everybody is used to um if you're not please watch my previous videos and a newer model uh CRT Plus inside bar this is a lot more high probability so if you're looking for high probability setups and you want to skip and filter out everything else focus on the CRT plus inside bar setups what's a CRT plus inside bar as I explained before this setup right here all this means is that there's more than three candles in order for one end of the range to be hit and the other end of the range to be hit multiple candles will form inside of the CRT range what is the range guys the range is the first candle and what's the difference between a CRT plus inside bar and a three candle CRT the difference is it takes longer to form uh as I said before it's higher probability and better for people who wait for confirmation or better suitable for beginners here are a bunch of examples of CRT I've been getting a lot of comments in my previous videos of how I should include more examples right here you can see range formed turtle soup heading all the way to the opposing end of the range same thing happened here turtle soup heading to opposing end of range same thing range formed inside bar so this is a CRT plus inside bar turtle soup the low heading all the way towards the opposing end of the range here is a perfect three candle model range formed accumulation manipulation distribution power of three same thing happened in this one we formed a range inside bar inside bar turtle soup where we heading the opposing end of the range it's pretty straightforward pretty simple this is going to change everything in your trading everything changes from here on out CRT is mechanical it's a signature in the code the code of what the code of the markets so ICT teaches us to understand that there is an algorithm controlling these markets every single algorithm has a code within that code you can look for specific signatures that repeat and this is exactly what CRT is it is a mechanical signature within the algorithm's code code the highs and lows are mechanical they are all predetermined of every single week sorry every month every week every day every candlesticks high and low is predetermined there will always be a predetermined high and low and a predetermined objective always a fixed objective you can combine CRT with any concepts all Concepts can be com combined with CRT however using the power of three and turtle soup will give the highest probable trades always here's an example of CRT on the lower time frame right here we have the range low and Range High turtle will soup the range low breaking above forming an order block we close above the order block that is the change in state of delivery the CSD this is our entry point coming up partials taken at the midpoint of the range always why because the midpoint of the range or EQ of the range is where reversals or continuations can happen Turtle soups are highly probable at the EQ of the range write that down if you only focus on taking trades targeting the midpoint of the range your win rate will be a lot higher as you can see right here we hit the midpoint of the range we came all the way back down OT entry to hit the order block once again heading all the way to the opposing end of the range this right here was a 7.4 RR trade this is what CRT allows you to do so just a reminder this lesson is going to sound very repetitive especially if you've watched my previous videos on the 9: am. CR model which is primarily based on CRT so you guys need to stay with me here there's going to be a lot more released in this video the concepts were lightly touched upon in the previous videos but there's a lot more to share keep in mind that the repetition is what creates the strongest Traders repeating practicing studying back testing front testing this is what's going to Define you as a Trader this is going to be what separates you from the beginners to the professionals right here we have a CRT high and low the high and low of this Candlestick right here we souped the range low pause the video and tell me what's going to happen next for all of those for all of you who did not pause the video you guys are doing yourself the wrong you need to listen and focus pause the video and tell me what will happen next all right clearly this was a turtle soup so what happens with a three candle CRT we form the range high and low we turtle soup a low and we hit the Range High with the third candle if we do not close below a Candlestick this is bullish if we Wick below ILO bullish candles are ranges every single candle is a range on every single time frame whether it be the monthly the weekly the daily the 4 Hour the 1 hour 15 minute 1 minute every single candle is a range time is fractal you need to understand that a daily chart is a higher time frame for a 4 Hour a 4 hour is a higher time frame for the 1 hour and 15 minute and 1 minute is a higher time frame for the seconds chart time is fractal therefore every single timed range is fractal as well every single candle is a range ranges can either be Turtle souped or broken and retested every candle has a high and low so open high low and close or open low high and close this means on a lower time frame you will have a range a specific timed range this is very important some candles are more high probability than others these are the specific times of day that you need to be looking for to determine the higher time frame bias look to see if a higher time frame candle has been Turtle souped or not this is the key to bias do not force it it'll be very obvious when it's time to enter so for example right here we Wicked above the candle's high this is bearish we did not close same thing here Wick below bullish we did not close same thing here Wick below bullish this is the most important thing to understand understand a close above a candle's high is bullish a wick above a candle's high is bearish vice versa if you're bullish so a wick below a candle's low is bullish and a close below a candle's low is bearish the power of three also known as AMD accumulation manipulation distribution the power of three represents three stages of price delivery once again accumulation manipulation and distribution each stage has its own specific function as I just mentioned before use the power of three to your advantage by combining it with the previous knowledge of candles or ranges what does this mean there's three candles in a three candle CRT that means one candle is accumulation another candle is manipulation and the third candle is going to be distribution the highest probable traits the power of three occurs in every single candle as time is fractal in nature there's going to be a range in every single candle this is crucial to understand this is a prime example of the power of three we accumulate what are we accumulating sell side and buy side liquidity sweep sells side liquidity hitting a key level manipulating turtle soup and distributing higher so here's another example we form a range high and low we Wick above the high what's going to happen next pause the video and tell me what's going to happen next so let's review this the first candle drew the range accumulation second candle Wicked above the high bearish we Wicked above we did not close above turtle soup manipulation third candle must be distribution Distributing where to the opposing end of the range so let's look at that example on the lower time frame this is candle one the gray shaded region candle two is the red shaded region and now where would be the entry Focus first off we bearish there's your hint we souped the Range High where's your entry short here is the order block that forms how did it form how is it validated if we close below so with this candle right here we closed below the order block we reached into the order block once again this is your entry and your shorting to where the midpoint of the range and then the opposing end third candle distribution if you're trading the third candle only the third candle opens rises above entry above third candles open within the order block and short turtle soup and change in state of delivery a candle can either be broken out of or it can be Wicked a wick above is bearish a wick below is bullish a close above is bullish and a close below is bearish sometimes you're going to see candle number one and then multiple inside bars eventually one end of the range will be souped or even broken but the soup is more likely to occure if an inside bar forms if bullish we wait for the next candles open and then we manipulate below into a higher time frame PD or a key level this is the turtle soup the key level is from the higher time frame of a specific power of three that you are trying to capture vice versa when bearish if you are bearish after a candle has been souped the third candle is what you should focus on when the third candle opens you must look for a sell opportunity above its opening price vice versa went bullish so when you're bullish your entry model must be below the open the change in state of delivery CSD this is basically key to mastering the order block entry if you want to master turtle soup without entering on the turtle soup use the change in state of delivery the last up close candle in a bullish leg turning bearish and the last down close candle in a beish leg turning bullish is the change in state of delivery these are key factors to if your turtle soup will end up working out or not for example a thick heavy down Clos candle tapping a key level as soon as we close above it we should now remain above it this will be your order block as well as your change in state of delivery so look what happened we closed above you could have entered we rallied we came back down you could have entered once again and we rallied again stop- loss where the bottom of the order block or the swing low once again turtle soup key level hit thick up closed candle bearish order block we closed below that's the change in state of delivery tapping the order block again entry short bank so remember the last down close candle is going to be your change in state of delivery when bullish thick and heavy down close candle and vice versa vice versa when bullish sorry when looking for a bearish order block there's two types of CRT the three candle CRT and the CRT plus inside bar so a lot of you guys may be confused what is a CRT range and what is a typical range so a CRT should be very very obvious it should not be hard to spot for example right here on the left you're going to see a typical range no true CRTs are forming in this range as you can clearly see on the right for example we have a CRT range thick candle forming the range inside bar inside bar Turtle souping the low heading all the way to the CRT High guys this is an inside CRT so there's a CRT and a CRT within the CRT pay attention to that more examples for you guys typical ranges no CRTs available typical range no CRT and then CRTs so we form a range high and low turtle soup the high targeting the range low this example we form a range high and low we turtle soup the low we Wicked below so this is bullish targeting the opposing end of the range same thing here formed a range high and low Turtle souping the low bullish targeting the opposing end of the range so do you guys see how the CRT ranges are very very easy to see compared to a typical range focus on trading CRT ranges filter out your trades so as I said there was two types of CRT a three candle and an inside bar plus CRT the three candle CRT as many of you are familiar with is simply three candles accumulation manipulation d distribution power of three at its finest the first candle is going to form the range we wait for the close Mark out the high and the low this is a specific time the range not random a specific time of day a second candle will form souping or breaking the high this is a turtle soup this is going to be where you're going to find the most advanced entries on the third candle we're going to see the quickest and highest probability trades this is the distribution leg so this is going to be where the beginners should focus it's going to be a quick fast and heavy price action filled candle when you're bearish you want to sell above the third candle's open look for your entry models above the open of the third candle if you're bearish and if you're bullish you want to buy below the open of the third candle look for all your entries below the third candle's open if you're bullish here's an example of that CRT on a lower time frame first candle forms second candle forms souping the first candle's Range High third candle forms order block right here thick upclose candle touching the key level change in state of delivery third candle open above the high of the third candle when we're bearish we want to look for entry models order block is above the third candles open sell in here shorts to the opposing end of the range for those of you who follow ICT this is a unicorn entry those of you looking for OT as you can see we hit the order block as soon as we closed below so we closed below the order block we tapped in it right here this is your order block entry and the ones looking for OT would enter right here where are you targeting the opposing end of the range how funny is it that the FIB one of the first first deviation of the Fibonacci aligns perfectly with the CRT low it must be random hopping on to the 1 hour time frame we can now refine the entry by looking for a lower time frame CRT the CRT low and CRT high of the higher time frame is coming from the 4 hour we drop down to the 1 hour and look for our lower time frame CRT which is performing right here hopping down to the 15minute time frame deeper look let's refine that entry candle open Turtle souping the low when we're bullish we want to buy below the open so what open is this this is the candle right after the one that hit the key level on the 4H hour time frame so as you can see right here we hit the key level range low open of this candle that is this shaded region right here since we are bullish as we Wicked below the range low we want to be buying below this range low with just which just so happens to be aligned with the lower time frame CRT which is exactly where this turtle soup takes place entry long targeting the opposing end of the CRT range let's dive down to a f minute chart the candle opens we soup the range low on on the 1 hour time frame sorry we soup the 1H hour range low on the 5minute chart we wait for the candle to open as mentioned before buy below the open entry long targeting where the opposing end of the higher time frame range of course take your partials at the equilibrium if you study this the way you are intended to all you will ever need is three candles this is the turning point in your entire trading career there are specific candles that you need to focus on we must understand which candles to pick which candles will have the highest probability ility it is not random you do not go on your chart and choose any random candle and trade CRT with any random candle range no Define the range that you want to trade are you a swing Trader day trader scalper what range do you want to trade a monthly chart so a monthly range a weekly range a daily range a 4H hour range a 1hour range Etc time is fractal choose a range whatever range you want to trade you must be looking for the power of three there is always an open high low and close or open low high and close on every single candle this means that the power of three will always be there when people are trading profitably not using the power of three they are basically using the power of three without knowing it so looking deeper if you're going to use the monthly range focus on the 4our chart if you're going to use the weekly range focus on the 1 hour if you're going to use the daily range focus on the 15 minute if you're going to use the 4 Hour focus on the 5 minute if you're going to use the 1 hour focus on the one minute and if you'll use the 15 SEC 15 minute use the 15c I do not recommend this is not for entries this is simply for looking for the power of three accumulation manipulation and distribution so here's a perfect example of the Open high low and close or open low high and close theory in every single candle there's an open low high and close meaning there will always be accumulation manipulation distribution price opens we accumulate low manipulation distribution high and close same thing when we're bearish open accumulation High manipulation distribution low and close there is always a power of three within the Open high low and close within a candle always understanding this will unlock the markets this is a daily candle this is a 4-Hour candle this is a 1-hour candle this is your Missing Link every candle has a function as mentioned before price will always open turtle soup and then decline when bearish vice versa when you're bullish candle one will always be accumulation candle two will always be manipulation candle 3 will always be distribution the manipulation stage will always have the most advanced entries this is where turtle soup occurs the third candle distribution will always have the most optimal trade entries most suitable for beginners blend the candles of CRT with the time times of the formation of the high of the day as well as the low of the day high of the week low of the week high of the month low of the month high of the Year low of the year and you'll get an accurate read on the markets this is important go back test pause the video back test back test back test look for the specific times of the formations of highs of days and low of days this is where you want to be looking for your CRT if entering on candle 3 it will likely be a very very fast quick and heavy trade why because it is the distribution leg of the model remember always take partials at the 50% of the range as I mentioned before reversals tend to happen at this point here if you are confused about the direction ask yourself who is getting screwed over retail buy Above highs and sell below lows you do not want to be selling when we are below a low so when we are below a CRT low you do not want to be selling you want to be buying when we are above a CRT High you do not want to be buying you want to be selling the program when we are bullish there will be a turtle soup a rally dump the rally very close to the turtle soup low this is the failure swing low so what you're going to see price do is turtle soup a key level rally for a bit dump back down near the low that was just formed and then rally back up when bearish we'll see the same thing happen turtle soup dump rally the dump very close to the turtle soup high this is the failure swing High every single turtle soup will have this specific swing High failure swing high this is going to scare more people out of the market keep in mind that for the above statement to be correct the turtle soup low must be created at a very specific spefic time on your chart this is not random let's look at these examples right here we have a turtle soup key level hit rally dump close to the swing low that was created with the turtle soup this is scaring more people out Distributing higher same thing here turtle soup this year low as well as the key level important we hit a key level failure swing low and then Distributing where to the opposing end of the CRT range and then higher recognize how we both how sorry recognize how in both examples we hit a key level that is why we have a failure swing that performed right after so let's look at entries how do we enter off of the CRT so the entry on the second candle is the turtle soup that is your first and most advanced entry the second entry will be the order block or change in state of delivery and the third entry will be the market structure shift then a breaker or an optimal trade entry what I want you to focus on is the order block so entry number two the key is to only trade the order block when the down close or up close whichever type of order block it is whenever the candle that Pur liquidity is thick and heavy as that is what fools the most people to enter in the wrong direction so if we soup a a CRT low and we form an order block that is thick and heavy meaning it is a thick and heavy large down closed candle that fooled people to be beish that is a high probability order block that you want to be entering long off of Vice Versa when bearish this is basically how we validate our order blocks never enter an order block that is small petite short in nature candle number three in a CRT will provide an entry model based on model one which is the order block plus a turtle soup this is going to be a very very fast trade OT can also be found within this candle if we have a three model three candle CRT the final key to CRT is understanding the key times where highs and lows will form there are key times throughout the day where is a higher probability of highs and lows forming find these times every high and low of every single candle is timed every single one of them the market will consolidate at specific times and the market will expand at certain times it is not random study the charts and guys focus on one or two two at Max two asset classes at Max focus on them study them memorize the charts here's a little hint little cookie for you guys candle number one is accumulation candle number two is manipulation and candle number three is fast you basically want to get as many candle number 3es as you possibly can forget about candle 2 focus on candle 3 and focus on getting as many candle 3s as you possibly can do not force any turtle soup it's always going to be there if you force the turtle soup it means you should have not entered the trade and I hope you're writing that down in your journal the turtle soup that you should be taking are going to be visible clear unarguable do not force anything else here are some more examples we have a range high and low we turtle soup the high Wick above no close this is a wick so we are beish where we going the opposing end of the range the CRT low remember this is applicable on every single time frame however the highest probable CRT ranges will form at specific times of day so let's look at the lower time frame candle one is Monday candle two is Tuesday candle 3 is Wednesday of course the Shaded regions present the higher time frame we are on the lower time frame Candle One forms the range Monday range Tuesday manipulation and Wednesday distribution power of three range high range low turtle soup the Range High change in state of delivery breaker formed breaker hit short targeting the opposing end of the range if you want to enter on the third candle you wait for the third candle to open you would see that we souped the CRT high with the second candle which is Tuesday third candle open Wednesday open wait for price to move back above Wednesday's open short targeting the CRT low as you can see turtle soup this right here here is a model in itself this is the Monday Range model I'm not going to speak more about it but for those of you who understand this is a very very very high probable model using the Monday as your range Tuesday as manipulation and Wednesday as distribution you'll be able to catch a lot of Trades and make a lot of money let's look deeper into candle number three as I mentioned before there was a turtle soup the quickest trades are within candle 3 the bias is bearish because we souped the Range High closing below the Range High wicking above the Range High bearish our goal is to wait for price to reach above the third candle's open turtle soup where we Turtle souped at the midpoint of Tuesday's range this is key not many people will tell you this this is key look for your turtle soups look for your entries on the third candle at the midpoint of the second candle in a CRT range so little summary first candle formed the range second candle manipulated order block formed change in state of delivery broke structure breaker formed tapped into a breaker short third candle open moved back above the third candle's open where to the midpoint of Tuesday's range turtle souping at the midpoint of Tuesday's range remember when I said Turtle soups happen and reversals will happen at midpoints of range reversing back down to the CRT low this is an A+ model A+ setup this is what you need to study rewind this and rewatch this as many times as you possibly need I'll repeat you must always look for the turtle soup at the equilibrium of the second candle in the range above the third candle's open your first entry could be the turtle soup and the second entry would be the order block close below tapping back into it short targeting the opposing end of the range low here's another example three candles range formed high and low Wick above bearish third candle distribute lower time frame first candle formed the range high and low second candle souping the Range High order block formed closed below CSD tapping the order block short targeting the opposing end of the range there are specific confirmations to be looking for when trying to spot the highest probable CRT these are the specific confirmations a timed CRT range this means that the CRT must form at a specific time a timed turtle soup this means that the purge of liquidity The Sweep of liquidity the turtle soup whatever you want to call it must happen at a specific time a high time frame key level if you have a high time frame key level within CRT or below or above CRT it will make it more High probable CRT plus inside bars as I mentioned in the beginning of this video this automatically represents a high probability setup and lastly but not least the lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT so all of these are basically confirmations to be used with CRT in order to decide whether or not your CRT range is high probability or not not all of these need to form in one trade setup use three or four and you'll have high probability models so let's look at the higher time frame key levels using a higher time frame key level to validate the CRT high and low will raise your win rate when looking for your CRT range spot the higher time frame key levels below or above the CRT High and the CRT low let me help you guys on finding the key levels your key levels will always come from the higher time frame not any random higher time frame a lot of Traders may be getting confused here if you're on a 1-hour chart you're not going to be looking for a level coming from the monthly chart for example here is the key when you want to find your higher time frame key levels remember the division by four rule div divide by four what does this mean if you have a higher time frame key level coming from the 1 hour your CRT will form on the 15 minute so let's reverse it if you have a CRT forming on the 15 minutes your key level will come from the 1 hour 15 * 4 or 1 hour / 4 is 15 minutes you can also use the 4our if you're looking at a CRT on the 1 hour the key level will come from the 4H hour or the daily if you're on a 4H hour time frame and you're looking at a CRT range the key level will come from a daily chart or a weekly if you're on the daily chart and you're looking at a CRT range the key level would come from a weekly chart or a monthly if you're on the weekly chart looking at a CRT range the key level will come from a monthly chart or or a yearly we want to see explosive movement when key levels are hit we do not want to see price quote unquote chilling at key levels remember divide by four if you ever forget this just keep in mind divide by four if you're on a monthly chart the month month divided by 4 is weekly because there is four weeks in a month if you're on a weekly chart key level divided by 4 daily if you're on the daily divided by four 4 hour if you're on the 4 Hour divided by 4 1 Hour 1 hour divided by 4 15 minute here's a perfect example so this example entails a higher time frame Q level within the lower time frame CRT not below not above but within understand this this is a 15minute chart the key level is coming from an hourly chart CRT High CRT low key level hit range formed we soup the range low coming back above the key level exploding above as soon as price closed above the key level price expanded above with speed targeting the CRT high this key level right here within the lower time frame CRT makes this CRT very high probable Longs over here would have been amazing so as I mentioned before the key level came from the one hour chart we turtle soup the low heading higher this is the 15-minute chart zooming in as we can see the CRT high and low key level within the lower time frame CRT turtle soup Wick below bullish entry long towards the opposing end of the range remember the rule divide by four if the higher time frame key level is coming from the 1 hour charts the CRT will be on the 15 minute let's look for the entry now we're on the one minute why are we on the one minute because the CRT form on the 15minute chart so if you see a CRT form on a 15minute chart you want to use the one minute chart for your entries this right here is sauce this is going this is basically going to help you align your charts to enter your trades properly right here you can see a purge of the turtle soup sorry a purge of the CRT low as soon as we closed above that is the change in state of delivery this is the validation of the order block why is this an order block a thick down close candle touching the key level number one and tapping the CRT low close above entry on the tap long towards the opposing end of the CRT range very high R to our trade so now let's take a look at an example of a CRT with a higher time frame C Level below or above the CRT so as you can see right here we have the CRT coming from the 1 hour the key level will come from a 4-Hour chart key level below the CRT low as soon as we soup the CRT low we're going to hit that key level this represents a high probability trade then we target the opposing end of the 1H hour range so as I mentioned before if the CRT is on the 1 hour the key level is going to come from the 4our chart having a key level below or above or within your CRT from a lower time frame is key to achieving a high amount of success with CRT this is what presents high probability CRT setups they are not random if your CRTs are not working when you're trying to execute it is because you are not using key levels so let's look down to the five minute chart for entries why because the CRT comes from the 1 hour so if your CRT range is on the 1hour chart we're going to use the 5 minute chart for our entries write this down order block formed how is this an order block a thick down closed candle tapping the CRT low as well as the key level turtle soup close above the order block change in state of delivery tapping back into the order block entry long targeting wear the 50% of the range as well as the opposing end using key levels will help you determine where the turtle soups where the specific lows of the turtle soups will form let's hop on to another confirmation technique a lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT a lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT represents a high probability trading scenario head over to a higher time frame the 4 Hour for example and draw out your CRT the high and the low wait for one end of the range to be hit head on to your lower time frame the 1 hour divide by four and draw the CRT on the candle that hit the higher time frame CR or crl I'm going to show you an example of this don't worry this exact setup is what's going to form the important highs and lows this is an important signature in price action that will reveal A Lot To You Right Here For example we have a key level we have a 4H hour CRT the 4our is our hour sorry right here we have the example lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT key level forour chart this is our higher time frame CRT High CRT low CRT low was hit dropping to the lower time Prim as we can see the CRT low and high of the 1 hour was also respected where was this CRT formed the 1hour CRT was formed within the 4H hour CRT this is key so as you can see here this is the 1H hour chart the 1 hour CR high so as you can see this is the 1 hour chart the 1hour CRT high and low formed within the 4H hour CRT high and low this is very very important understanding this will help you determine key highs and lows for example price continued on to rally for a while over here this is over 150 points in the NASDAQ become familiar with this setup lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT this is the key level important this is very important a lot of you guys have probably been waiting for this part CRT and entries if your CRT is performing on the monthly chart so if you're looking for your CRT ranges on the monthly your entries must come from a daily chart if if your CRT is from a daily chart your entries must come from a 1-hour chart if your CRT is coming from a 4-Hour chart the entries must come from the 15minute if the CRT is forming on the 1 hour your entries will happen on the 5 minute or 1 minute and if you're using the 15minute to draw out your CRTs your entries will perform on the 1 minute understanding this is key you cannot be drawing CRTs on the 4 Hour and executing on the one minute that is how you will lose align yourself properly and you'll succeed much quicker so let's look at some high probability CRTs for Forex the magic numbers are9 for futures the magic numbers are 2 6 10 1:00 a.m. 5: a.m. 9:00 a.m. 1 p.m. 5:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. for futures it's 2:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. 10: a.m. 2: p.m. 6 p.m. p.m. 10 p.m. these are specific times on the 4our chart in which you want to be looking for CRT ranges for Forex the first week Monday and Friday and once again 1: a.m. 5 a.m. 9:00 a.m. 1: p.m. 500 p.m. 9:00 p.m. example right here Monday performed the CRT high probability CRT as mentioned here turtle soup Tuesday distribution Wednesday Friday also has a high probability CRT range for futures we use the first week of the month for a CRT range the Monday or the Wednesday same thing to a.m. 6: a.m. 10: a.m. 2: p.m. 6 p.m. 10 p.m. if you guys study this enough this is all you will ever need so now since we know the high probability CRTs and what times and what days they form we must now learn where the high probab Billy Turtle soups the high probability purges will come what times the turtle soup needs to form at a specific time in order to be considered high probability if the turtle soup doesn't happen at the correct time you don't execute let's say you're looking for a turtle soup at 3:00 a.m. but the turtle soup happens at 2:00 a.m. you do not enter you wait for the next setup simple filter your trades look for turtle soups at 3:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. remember when I told you guys 369 one more that you could be looking for is 1:00 a.m. there's a lot more high probability CRTs and turtle soups as well go back test you'll find them trust me but for now I'll leave you with 3:00 a.m. 6: a.m. 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. this means your CRT ranges as mentioned before can form at 2:00 a.m. and a turtle soup can form at 3:00 a.m. so let's align your CRTs with the turtle soups the CRT range will form on the week one of the month and the turtle soup will occur on week two CRT range will form on Monday and the turtle soup will form on Tuesday or Wednesday why or Wednesday because Tuesday can be an inside bar Wednesday can be the turtle soup high probability CRT let's say the CRT forms on Friday the turtle soup will look here on Monday if the CRT forms at 5:00 p.m. on the 4 Hour the turtle soup will form at 3:00 a.m. if the turtle soup sorry if the CRT forms at 9:00 p.m. on the 4H hour the turtle soup will will occur at 1:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. if the CRT is forming at 5:00 a.m. on the 4 Hour the turtle soup will occur at 9:00 a.m. this right here actually this entire slide is enough information to make you a successful Trader not many people are going to be r de in this type of information to YouTube to Twitter to anywhere for that matter this is what is controlling the markets study so let's look at an example for Forex CRT formed at 5:00 p.m. as mentioned where is the turtle soup going to to perform if we formed a CRT at 5:00 p.m. at 3:00 a.m. as you can see 3:00 a.m. turtle soup this is a 4-Hour time frame so 3:00 a.m. turtle soup Distributing to the opposing end of the range if we go back you can see 5:00 p.m. 4our CRT 3:00 a.m. turtle soup exactly what happened here let's take a look at a Futures example on a 4our chart you can see at 10 p.m. we formed the CRT range and at 1:00 a.m. we Turtle souped then Distributing to the opposing end of the range as I mentioned before Futures you want to be paying attention to 2 6 and 10 on the 4H hour time frame 1000 p.m. CRT and 369 + 1 four Turtle soups CRT at 10 turtle soup at one seems like magic right another example here on Forex 5:00 a.m. formed the turtles sorry 500 a.m. formed the CRT range high and low 9:00 a.m. turtle soup and the third candle Distributing to the range low this is a three candle CRT Perfection right here as mentioned before if the CRT forms at 5:00 a.m. the turtle soup will form at 9:00 a.m. study that rewind and relisten to what ex exactly what I just said the filter approach we're getting close to the end of the video here and I felt as if it was necessary to add a little bit of psychology to this video strategy models code signatures that's all one part of trading psychology ho ho ho psychology my friends that is what's going to distinguish you from the beginners let's look at something I call the filter approach allow yourself to have filters on your trades filter out the low probability trades as they are a waste of your time and energy save the capital for high probability trades only this is what separates the beginners from the professionals this might seem like common sense but for some reason beginners will always fall victim let's take an example as you may not understand what I mean if you have back tested and studied properly and while back testing you recognize a specific signature in price that you can always spot clearly visibly it's always there and you just naturally like it better let's call this your A+ setup right that is what the retail Community tends to call it well here's a secret those retail Traders don't understand that that specific A+ setup is the only setup they should be executing on it's not an A+ setup it's simply the setup many retailers would succeed a lot more if they simply understood this so let me simplify when you're back testing you're going to see some setups form higher probability setups or A+ setups and you'll find some lower probability ones as well you're going to execute the A+ setups and the B+ C+ Etc setups why because you categorized the best setup as your A+ setup rather you shall sorry rather you should be categorizing that A+ setup as your only setup as the setup the only setup that you should be executing on is the one that you can spot clearly the highest probability setups are the only ones that you should be executing on filter everything else out filter everything that is not a plus in your eyes out do not take anything else if there is a specific way that you like your CRTs to form wait for those CRTs Don't Force any others there's always going to be more for example if you like inside bar CRTs then don't trade the three candle ones it's simple many Traders will fall victim to their impulses gut feelings Etc they will find any way possible to come up with a reason as to why an entry is a good idea when there is nothing on the chart sound familiar this is another common characteristic between the professionals and beginners separate yourself from the rest be sure to focus on your risk to reward and percent gain loss this is very important very very very important I haven't touched base on this yet however if I get enough comments I will it's very boring but very very important without the proper R to R you'll never succeed with CRT set a standard for yourself whether it be 2: one 3:1 1:1 5:1 whatever it may be set a standard for yourself if you only want to take 3 to one trades three R trades only take three R trades do not settle for a two R trade if a two our trade is there don't take it wait for a three trade to form and if it doesn't form today wait for tomorrow if it doesn't form tomorrow wait for the next day etc etc be patient that concludes CRT everything that you need to know about CRT is within this video this is a lot of information I don't expect you to watch this in one go take your time and allow your brain to absorb the knowledge if you don't allow yourself to absorb you will never retain anything take your time steady Pace get to the charts back test and study part three of the 9:00 a.m. CR model is is also releasing soon I appreciate all the love and support guys and with that being said good luck Traders I'll see you next week

hello everyone and welcome back this is a lesson on CRT as promised Kendall range Theory this is not going to be something for you guys looking for some type of Holy Grail or some spoonfed type of garbage um this is going to be an in-depth guide for the ones who want to learn more the ones who are dedicated literally everything you need to know about CRT will be in this video now if you want to learn more I suggest heading over to Romeo&#39;s Channel or sham let&#39;s get into it the CRT concept itself the theory itself is what helped me design my 9 A.M CR model so I&#39;ve been getting a lot of comments telling me you&#39;re just preaching what Romeo States and what he says and teaches I am not the 9 am CR model is based around the power of three and CRT as well as the Open high low and close however it is a specific model designed on time time this right here is a CRT we have the first candle forming the range the high and the low the second candle manipulating below wicking turtle soup and the third candle Distributing higher where to the Range High so what is CRT CRT stands for candle range Theory CRT usually presents as a three candle model but it&#39;s not always going to be a three model sorry a three candle model usually it will be but it won&#39;t always be it&#39;s not restricted to three candles all right for example right here you can see multiple candles used in order to hit the Range High so we formed a range inside bar turtle soup the low heading all the way to the high of the range as I say right here there&#39;s two types of CRT models that can form the three candle model which everybody is used to um if you&#39;re not please watch my previous videos and a newer model uh CRT Plus inside bar this is a lot more high probability so if you&#39;re looking for high probability setups and you want to skip and filter out everything else focus on the CRT plus inside bar setups what&#39;s a CRT plus inside bar as I explained before this setup right here all this means is that there&#39;s more than three candles in order for one end of the range to be hit and the other end of the range to be hit multiple candles will form inside of the CRT range what is the range guys the range is the first candle and what&#39;s the difference between a CRT plus inside bar and a three candle CRT the difference is it takes longer to form uh as I said before it&#39;s higher probability and better for people who wait for confirmation or better suitable for beginners here are a bunch of examples of CRT I&#39;ve been getting a lot of comments in my previous videos of how I should include more examples right here you can see range formed turtle soup heading all the way to the opposing end of the range same thing happened here turtle soup heading to opposing end of range same thing range formed inside bar so this is a CRT plus inside bar turtle soup the low heading all the way towards the opposing end of the range here is a perfect three candle model range formed accumulation manipulation distribution power of three same thing happened in this one we formed a range inside bar inside bar turtle soup where we heading the opposing end of the range it&#39;s pretty straightforward pretty simple this is going to change everything in your trading everything changes from here on out CRT is mechanical it&#39;s a signature in the code the code of what the code of the markets so ICT teaches us to understand that there is an algorithm controlling these markets every single algorithm has a code within that code you can look for specific signatures that repeat and this is exactly what CRT is it is a mechanical signature within the algorithm&#39;s code code the highs and lows are mechanical they are all predetermined of every single week sorry every month every week every day every candlesticks high and low is predetermined there will always be a predetermined high and low and a predetermined objective always a fixed objective you can combine CRT with any concepts all Concepts can be com combined with CRT however using the power of three and turtle soup will give the highest probable trades always here&#39;s an example of CRT on the lower time frame right here we have the range low and Range High turtle will soup the range low breaking above forming an order block we close above the order block that is the change in state of delivery the CSD this is our entry point coming up partials taken at the midpoint of the range always why because the midpoint of the range or EQ of the range is where reversals or continuations can happen Turtle soups are highly probable at the EQ of the range write that down if you only focus on taking trades targeting the midpoint of the range your win rate will be a lot higher as you can see right here we hit the midpoint of the range we came all the way back down OT entry to hit the order block once again heading all the way to the opposing end of the range this right here was a 7.4 RR trade this is what CRT allows you to do so just a reminder this lesson is going to sound very repetitive especially if you&#39;ve watched my previous videos on the 9: am. CR model which is primarily based on CRT so you guys need to stay with me here there&#39;s going to be a lot more released in this video the concepts were lightly touched upon in the previous videos but there&#39;s a lot more to share keep in mind that the repetition is what creates the strongest Traders repeating practicing studying back testing front testing this is what&#39;s going to Define you as a Trader this is going to be what separates you from the beginners to the professionals right here we have a CRT high and low the high and low of this Candlestick right here we souped the range low pause the video and tell me what&#39;s going to happen next for all of those for all of you who did not pause the video you guys are doing yourself the wrong you need to listen and focus pause the video and tell me what will happen next all right clearly this was a turtle soup so what happens with a three candle CRT we form the range high and low we turtle soup a low and we hit the Range High with the third candle if we do not close below a Candlestick this is bullish if we Wick below ILO bullish candles are ranges every single candle is a range on every single time frame whether it be the monthly the weekly the daily the 4 Hour the 1 hour 15 minute 1 minute every single candle is a range time is fractal you need to understand that a daily chart is a higher time frame for a 4 Hour a 4 hour is a higher time frame for the 1 hour and 15 minute and 1 minute is a higher time frame for the seconds chart time is fractal therefore every single timed range is fractal as well every single candle is a range ranges can either be Turtle souped or broken and retested every candle has a high and low so open high low and close or open low high and close this means on a lower time frame you will have a range a specific timed range this is very important some candles are more high probability than others these are the specific times of day that you need to be looking for to determine the higher time frame bias look to see if a higher time frame candle has been Turtle souped or not this is the key to bias do not force it it&#39;ll be very obvious when it&#39;s time to enter so for example right here we Wicked above the candle&#39;s high this is bearish we did not close same thing here Wick below bullish we did not close same thing here Wick below bullish this is the most important thing to understand understand a close above a candle&#39;s high is bullish a wick above a candle&#39;s high is bearish vice versa if you&#39;re bullish so a wick below a candle&#39;s low is bullish and a close below a candle&#39;s low is bearish the power of three also known as AMD accumulation manipulation distribution the power of three represents three stages of price delivery once again accumulation manipulation and distribution each stage has its own specific function as I just mentioned before use the power of three to your advantage by combining it with the previous knowledge of candles or ranges what does this mean there&#39;s three candles in a three candle CRT that means one candle is accumulation another candle is manipulation and the third candle is going to be distribution the highest probable traits the power of three occurs in every single candle as time is fractal in nature there&#39;s going to be a range in every single candle this is crucial to understand this is a prime example of the power of three we accumulate what are we accumulating sell side and buy side liquidity sweep sells side liquidity hitting a key level manipulating turtle soup and distributing higher so here&#39;s another example we form a range high and low we Wick above the high what&#39;s going to happen next pause the video and tell me what&#39;s going to happen next so let&#39;s review this the first candle drew the range accumulation second candle Wicked above the high bearish we Wicked above we did not close above turtle soup manipulation third candle must be distribution Distributing where to the opposing end of the range so let&#39;s look at that example on the lower time frame this is candle one the gray shaded region candle two is the red shaded region and now where would be the entry Focus first off we bearish there&#39;s your hint we souped the Range High where&#39;s your entry short here is the order block that forms how did it form how is it validated if we close below so with this candle right here we closed below the order block we reached into the order block once again this is your entry and your shorting to where the midpoint of the range and then the opposing end third candle distribution if you&#39;re trading the third candle only the third candle opens rises above entry above third candles open within the order block and short turtle soup and change in state of delivery a candle can either be broken out of or it can be Wicked a wick above is bearish a wick below is bullish a close above is bullish and a close below is bearish sometimes you&#39;re going to see candle number one and then multiple inside bars eventually one end of the range will be souped or even broken but the soup is more likely to occure if an inside bar forms if bullish we wait for the next candles open and then we manipulate below into a higher time frame PD or a key level this is the turtle soup the key level is from the higher time frame of a specific power of three that you are trying to capture vice versa when bearish if you are bearish after a candle has been souped the third candle is what you should focus on when the third candle opens you must look for a sell opportunity above its opening price vice versa went bullish so when you&#39;re bullish your entry model must be below the open the change in state of delivery CSD this is basically key to mastering the order block entry if you want to master turtle soup without entering on the turtle soup use the change in state of delivery the last up close candle in a bullish leg turning bearish and the last down close candle in a beish leg turning bullish is the change in state of delivery these are key factors to if your turtle soup will end up working out or not for example a thick heavy down Clos candle tapping a key level as soon as we close above it we should now remain above it this will be your order block as well as your change in state of delivery so look what happened we closed above you could have entered we rallied we came back down you could have entered once again and we rallied again stop- loss where the bottom of the order block or the swing low once again turtle soup key level hit thick up closed candle bearish order block we closed below that&#39;s the change in state of delivery tapping the order block again entry short bank so remember the last down close candle is going to be your change in state of delivery when bullish thick and heavy down close candle and vice versa vice versa when bullish sorry when looking for a bearish order block there&#39;s two types of CRT the three candle CRT and the CRT plus inside bar so a lot of you guys may be confused what is a CRT range and what is a typical range so a CRT should be very very obvious it should not be hard to spot for example right here on the left you&#39;re going to see a typical range no true CRTs are forming in this range as you can clearly see on the right for example we have a CRT range thick candle forming the range inside bar inside bar Turtle souping the low heading all the way to the CRT High guys this is an inside CRT so there&#39;s a CRT and a CRT within the CRT pay attention to that more examples for you guys typical ranges no CRTs available typical range no CRT and then CRTs so we form a range high and low turtle soup the high targeting the range low this example we form a range high and low we turtle soup the low we Wicked below so this is bullish targeting the opposing end of the range same thing here formed a range high and low Turtle souping the low bullish targeting the opposing end of the range so do you guys see how the CRT ranges are very very easy to see compared to a typical range focus on trading CRT ranges filter out your trades so as I said there was two types of CRT a three candle and an inside bar plus CRT the three candle CRT as many of you are familiar with is simply three candles accumulation manipulation d distribution power of three at its finest the first candle is going to form the range we wait for the close Mark out the high and the low this is a specific time the range not random a specific time of day a second candle will form souping or breaking the high this is a turtle soup this is going to be where you&#39;re going to find the most advanced entries on the third candle we&#39;re going to see the quickest and highest probability trades this is the distribution leg so this is going to be where the beginners should focus it&#39;s going to be a quick fast and heavy price action filled candle when you&#39;re bearish you want to sell above the third candle&#39;s open look for your entry models above the open of the third candle if you&#39;re bearish and if you&#39;re bullish you want to buy below the open of the third candle look for all your entries below the third candle&#39;s open if you&#39;re bullish here&#39;s an example of that CRT on a lower time frame first candle forms second candle forms souping the first candle&#39;s Range High third candle forms order block right here thick upclose candle touching the key level change in state of delivery third candle open above the high of the third candle when we&#39;re bearish we want to look for entry models order block is above the third candles open sell in here shorts to the opposing end of the range for those of you who follow ICT this is a unicorn entry those of you looking for OT as you can see we hit the order block as soon as we closed below so we closed below the order block we tapped in it right here this is your order block entry and the ones looking for OT would enter right here where are you targeting the opposing end of the range how funny is it that the FIB one of the first first deviation of the Fibonacci aligns perfectly with the CRT low it must be random hopping on to the 1 hour time frame we can now refine the entry by looking for a lower time frame CRT the CRT low and CRT high of the higher time frame is coming from the 4 hour we drop down to the 1 hour and look for our lower time frame CRT which is performing right here hopping down to the 15minute time frame deeper look let&#39;s refine that entry candle open Turtle souping the low when we&#39;re bullish we want to buy below the open so what open is this this is the candle right after the one that hit the key level on the 4H hour time frame so as you can see right here we hit the key level range low open of this candle that is this shaded region right here since we are bullish as we Wicked below the range low we want to be buying below this range low with just which just so happens to be aligned with the lower time frame CRT which is exactly where this turtle soup takes place entry long targeting the opposing end of the CRT range let&#39;s dive down to a f minute chart the candle opens we soup the range low on on the 1 hour time frame sorry we soup the 1H hour range low on the 5minute chart we wait for the candle to open as mentioned before buy below the open entry long targeting where the opposing end of the higher time frame range of course take your partials at the equilibrium if you study this the way you are intended to all you will ever need is three candles this is the turning point in your entire trading career there are specific candles that you need to focus on we must understand which candles to pick which candles will have the highest probability ility it is not random you do not go on your chart and choose any random candle and trade CRT with any random candle range no Define the range that you want to trade are you a swing Trader day trader scalper what range do you want to trade a monthly chart so a monthly range a weekly range a daily range a 4H hour range a 1hour range Etc time is fractal choose a range whatever range you want to trade you must be looking for the power of three there is always an open high low and close or open low high and close on every single candle this means that the power of three will always be there when people are trading profitably not using the power of three they are basically using the power of three without knowing it so looking deeper if you&#39;re going to use the monthly range focus on the 4our chart if you&#39;re going to use the weekly range focus on the 1 hour if you&#39;re going to use the daily range focus on the 15 minute if you&#39;re going to use the 4 Hour focus on the 5 minute if you&#39;re going to use the 1 hour focus on the one minute and if you&#39;ll use the 15 SEC 15 minute use the 15c I do not recommend this is not for entries this is simply for looking for the power of three accumulation manipulation and distribution so here&#39;s a perfect example of the Open high low and close or open low high and close theory in every single candle there&#39;s an open low high and close meaning there will always be accumulation manipulation distribution price opens we accumulate low manipulation distribution high and close same thing when we&#39;re bearish open accumulation High manipulation distribution low and close there is always a power of three within the Open high low and close within a candle always understanding this will unlock the markets this is a daily candle this is a 4-Hour candle this is a 1-hour candle this is your Missing Link every candle has a function as mentioned before price will always open turtle soup and then decline when bearish vice versa when you&#39;re bullish candle one will always be accumulation candle two will always be manipulation candle 3 will always be distribution the manipulation stage will always have the most advanced entries this is where turtle soup occurs the third candle distribution will always have the most optimal trade entries most suitable for beginners blend the candles of CRT with the time times of the formation of the high of the day as well as the low of the day high of the week low of the week high of the month low of the month high of the Year low of the year and you&#39;ll get an accurate read on the markets this is important go back test pause the video back test back test back test look for the specific times of the formations of highs of days and low of days this is where you want to be looking for your CRT if entering on candle 3 it will likely be a very very fast quick and heavy trade why because it is the distribution leg of the model remember always take partials at the 50% of the range as I mentioned before reversals tend to happen at this point here if you are confused about the direction ask yourself who is getting screwed over retail buy Above highs and sell below lows you do not want to be selling when we are below a low so when we are below a CRT low you do not want to be selling you want to be buying when we are above a CRT High you do not want to be buying you want to be selling the program when we are bullish there will be a turtle soup a rally dump the rally very close to the turtle soup low this is the failure swing low so what you&#39;re going to see price do is turtle soup a key level rally for a bit dump back down near the low that was just formed and then rally back up when bearish we&#39;ll see the same thing happen turtle soup dump rally the dump very close to the turtle soup high this is the failure swing High every single turtle soup will have this specific swing High failure swing high this is going to scare more people out of the market keep in mind that for the above statement to be correct the turtle soup low must be created at a very specific spefic time on your chart this is not random let&#39;s look at these examples right here we have a turtle soup key level hit rally dump close to the swing low that was created with the turtle soup this is scaring more people out Distributing higher same thing here turtle soup this year low as well as the key level important we hit a key level failure swing low and then Distributing where to the opposing end of the CRT range and then higher recognize how we both how sorry recognize how in both examples we hit a key level that is why we have a failure swing that performed right after so let&#39;s look at entries how do we enter off of the CRT so the entry on the second candle is the turtle soup that is your first and most advanced entry the second entry will be the order block or change in state of delivery and the third entry will be the market structure shift then a breaker or an optimal trade entry what I want you to focus on is the order block so entry number two the key is to only trade the order block when the down close or up close whichever type of order block it is whenever the candle that Pur liquidity is thick and heavy as that is what fools the most people to enter in the wrong direction so if we soup a a CRT low and we form an order block that is thick and heavy meaning it is a thick and heavy large down closed candle that fooled people to be beish that is a high probability order block that you want to be entering long off of Vice Versa when bearish this is basically how we validate our order blocks never enter an order block that is small petite short in nature candle number three in a CRT will provide an entry model based on model one which is the order block plus a turtle soup this is going to be a very very fast trade OT can also be found within this candle if we have a three model three candle CRT the final key to CRT is understanding the key times where highs and lows will form there are key times throughout the day where is a higher probability of highs and lows forming find these times every high and low of every single candle is timed every single one of them the market will consolidate at specific times and the market will expand at certain times it is not random study the charts and guys focus on one or two two at Max two asset classes at Max focus on them study them memorize the charts here&#39;s a little hint little cookie for you guys candle number one is accumulation candle number two is manipulation and candle number three is fast you basically want to get as many candle number 3es as you possibly can forget about candle 2 focus on candle 3 and focus on getting as many candle 3s as you possibly can do not force any turtle soup it&#39;s always going to be there if you force the turtle soup it means you should have not entered the trade and I hope you&#39;re writing that down in your journal the turtle soup that you should be taking are going to be visible clear unarguable do not force anything else here are some more examples we have a range high and low we turtle soup the high Wick above no close this is a wick so we are beish where we going the opposing end of the range the CRT low remember this is applicable on every single time frame however the highest probable CRT ranges will form at specific times of day so let&#39;s look at the lower time frame candle one is Monday candle two is Tuesday candle 3 is Wednesday of course the Shaded regions present the higher time frame we are on the lower time frame Candle One forms the range Monday range Tuesday manipulation and Wednesday distribution power of three range high range low turtle soup the Range High change in state of delivery breaker formed breaker hit short targeting the opposing end of the range if you want to enter on the third candle you wait for the third candle to open you would see that we souped the CRT high with the second candle which is Tuesday third candle open Wednesday open wait for price to move back above Wednesday&#39;s open short targeting the CRT low as you can see turtle soup this right here here is a model in itself this is the Monday Range model I&#39;m not going to speak more about it but for those of you who understand this is a very very very high probable model using the Monday as your range Tuesday as manipulation and Wednesday as distribution you&#39;ll be able to catch a lot of Trades and make a lot of money let&#39;s look deeper into candle number three as I mentioned before there was a turtle soup the quickest trades are within candle 3 the bias is bearish because we souped the Range High closing below the Range High wicking above the Range High bearish our goal is to wait for price to reach above the third candle&#39;s open turtle soup where we Turtle souped at the midpoint of Tuesday&#39;s range this is key not many people will tell you this this is key look for your turtle soups look for your entries on the third candle at the midpoint of the second candle in a CRT range so little summary first candle formed the range second candle manipulated order block formed change in state of delivery broke structure breaker formed tapped into a breaker short third candle open moved back above the third candle&#39;s open where to the midpoint of Tuesday&#39;s range turtle souping at the midpoint of Tuesday&#39;s range remember when I said Turtle soups happen and reversals will happen at midpoints of range reversing back down to the CRT low this is an A+ model A+ setup this is what you need to study rewind this and rewatch this as many times as you possibly need I&#39;ll repeat you must always look for the turtle soup at the equilibrium of the second candle in the range above the third candle&#39;s open your first entry could be the turtle soup and the second entry would be the order block close below tapping back into it short targeting the opposing end of the range low here&#39;s another example three candles range formed high and low Wick above bearish third candle distribute lower time frame first candle formed the range high and low second candle souping the Range High order block formed closed below CSD tapping the order block short targeting the opposing end of the range there are specific confirmations to be looking for when trying to spot the highest probable CRT these are the specific confirmations a timed CRT range this means that the CRT must form at a specific time a timed turtle soup this means that the purge of liquidity The Sweep of liquidity the turtle soup whatever you want to call it must happen at a specific time a high time frame key level if you have a high time frame key level within CRT or below or above CRT it will make it more High probable CRT plus inside bars as I mentioned in the beginning of this video this automatically represents a high probability setup and lastly but not least the lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT so all of these are basically confirmations to be used with CRT in order to decide whether or not your CRT range is high probability or not not all of these need to form in one trade setup use three or four and you&#39;ll have high probability models so let&#39;s look at the higher time frame key levels using a higher time frame key level to validate the CRT high and low will raise your win rate when looking for your CRT range spot the higher time frame key levels below or above the CRT High and the CRT low let me help you guys on finding the key levels your key levels will always come from the higher time frame not any random higher time frame a lot of Traders may be getting confused here if you&#39;re on a 1-hour chart you&#39;re not going to be looking for a level coming from the monthly chart for example here is the key when you want to find your higher time frame key levels remember the division by four rule div divide by four what does this mean if you have a higher time frame key level coming from the 1 hour your CRT will form on the 15 minute so let&#39;s reverse it if you have a CRT forming on the 15 minutes your key level will come from the 1 hour 15 * 4 or 1 hour / 4 is 15 minutes you can also use the 4our if you&#39;re looking at a CRT on the 1 hour the key level will come from the 4H hour or the daily if you&#39;re on a 4H hour time frame and you&#39;re looking at a CRT range the key level will come from a daily chart or a weekly if you&#39;re on the daily chart and you&#39;re looking at a CRT range the key level would come from a weekly chart or a monthly if you&#39;re on the weekly chart looking at a CRT range the key level will come from a monthly chart or or a yearly we want to see explosive movement when key levels are hit we do not want to see price quote unquote chilling at key levels remember divide by four if you ever forget this just keep in mind divide by four if you&#39;re on a monthly chart the month month divided by 4 is weekly because there is four weeks in a month if you&#39;re on a weekly chart key level divided by 4 daily if you&#39;re on the daily divided by four 4 hour if you&#39;re on the 4 Hour divided by 4 1 Hour 1 hour divided by 4 15 minute here&#39;s a perfect example so this example entails a higher time frame Q level within the lower time frame CRT not below not above but within understand this this is a 15minute chart the key level is coming from an hourly chart CRT High CRT low key level hit range formed we soup the range low coming back above the key level exploding above as soon as price closed above the key level price expanded above with speed targeting the CRT high this key level right here within the lower time frame CRT makes this CRT very high probable Longs over here would have been amazing so as I mentioned before the key level came from the one hour chart we turtle soup the low heading higher this is the 15-minute chart zooming in as we can see the CRT high and low key level within the lower time frame CRT turtle soup Wick below bullish entry long towards the opposing end of the range remember the rule divide by four if the higher time frame key level is coming from the 1 hour charts the CRT will be on the 15 minute let&#39;s look for the entry now we&#39;re on the one minute why are we on the one minute because the CRT form on the 15minute chart so if you see a CRT form on a 15minute chart you want to use the one minute chart for your entries this right here is sauce this is going this is basically going to help you align your charts to enter your trades properly right here you can see a purge of the turtle soup sorry a purge of the CRT low as soon as we closed above that is the change in state of delivery this is the validation of the order block why is this an order block a thick down close candle touching the key level number one and tapping the CRT low close above entry on the tap long towards the opposing end of the CRT range very high R to our trade so now let&#39;s take a look at an example of a CRT with a higher time frame C Level below or above the CRT so as you can see right here we have the CRT coming from the 1 hour the key level will come from a 4-Hour chart key level below the CRT low as soon as we soup the CRT low we&#39;re going to hit that key level this represents a high probability trade then we target the opposing end of the 1H hour range so as I mentioned before if the CRT is on the 1 hour the key level is going to come from the 4our chart having a key level below or above or within your CRT from a lower time frame is key to achieving a high amount of success with CRT this is what presents high probability CRT setups they are not random if your CRTs are not working when you&#39;re trying to execute it is because you are not using key levels so let&#39;s look down to the five minute chart for entries why because the CRT comes from the 1 hour so if your CRT range is on the 1hour chart we&#39;re going to use the 5 minute chart for our entries write this down order block formed how is this an order block a thick down closed candle tapping the CRT low as well as the key level turtle soup close above the order block change in state of delivery tapping back into the order block entry long targeting wear the 50% of the range as well as the opposing end using key levels will help you determine where the turtle soups where the specific lows of the turtle soups will form let&#39;s hop on to another confirmation technique a lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT a lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT represents a high probability trading scenario head over to a higher time frame the 4 Hour for example and draw out your CRT the high and the low wait for one end of the range to be hit head on to your lower time frame the 1 hour divide by four and draw the CRT on the candle that hit the higher time frame CR or crl I&#39;m going to show you an example of this don&#39;t worry this exact setup is what&#39;s going to form the important highs and lows this is an important signature in price action that will reveal A Lot To You Right Here For example we have a key level we have a 4H hour CRT the 4our is our hour sorry right here we have the example lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT key level forour chart this is our higher time frame CRT High CRT low CRT low was hit dropping to the lower time Prim as we can see the CRT low and high of the 1 hour was also respected where was this CRT formed the 1hour CRT was formed within the 4H hour CRT this is key so as you can see here this is the 1H hour chart the 1 hour CR high so as you can see this is the 1 hour chart the 1hour CRT high and low formed within the 4H hour CRT high and low this is very very important understanding this will help you determine key highs and lows for example price continued on to rally for a while over here this is over 150 points in the NASDAQ become familiar with this setup lower time frame CRT within a higher time frame CRT this is the key level important this is very important a lot of you guys have probably been waiting for this part CRT and entries if your CRT is performing on the monthly chart so if you&#39;re looking for your CRT ranges on the monthly your entries must come from a daily chart if if your CRT is from a daily chart your entries must come from a 1-hour chart if your CRT is coming from a 4-Hour chart the entries must come from the 15minute if the CRT is forming on the 1 hour your entries will happen on the 5 minute or 1 minute and if you&#39;re using the 15minute to draw out your CRTs your entries will perform on the 1 minute understanding this is key you cannot be drawing CRTs on the 4 Hour and executing on the one minute that is how you will lose align yourself properly and you&#39;ll succeed much quicker so let&#39;s look at some high probability CRTs for Forex the magic numbers are9 for futures the magic numbers are 2 6 10 1:00 a.m. 5: a.m. 9:00 a.m. 1 p.m. 5:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. for futures it&#39;s 2:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. 10: a.m. 2: p.m. 6 p.m. p.m. 10 p.m. these are specific times on the 4our chart in which you want to be looking for CRT ranges for Forex the first week Monday and Friday and once again 1: a.m. 5 a.m. 9:00 a.m. 1: p.m. 500 p.m. 9:00 p.m. example right here Monday performed the CRT high probability CRT as mentioned here turtle soup Tuesday distribution Wednesday Friday also has a high probability CRT range for futures we use the first week of the month for a CRT range the Monday or the Wednesday same thing to a.m. 6: a.m. 10: a.m. 2: p.m. 6 p.m. 10 p.m. if you guys study this enough this is all you will ever need so now since we know the high probability CRTs and what times and what days they form we must now learn where the high probab Billy Turtle soups the high probability purges will come what times the turtle soup needs to form at a specific time in order to be considered high probability if the turtle soup doesn&#39;t happen at the correct time you don&#39;t execute let&#39;s say you&#39;re looking for a turtle soup at 3:00 a.m. but the turtle soup happens at 2:00 a.m. you do not enter you wait for the next setup simple filter your trades look for turtle soups at 3:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. remember when I told you guys 369 one more that you could be looking for is 1:00 a.m. there&#39;s a lot more high probability CRTs and turtle soups as well go back test you&#39;ll find them trust me but for now I&#39;ll leave you with 3:00 a.m. 6: a.m. 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. this means your CRT ranges as mentioned before can form at 2:00 a.m. and a turtle soup can form at 3:00 a.m. so let&#39;s align your CRTs with the turtle soups the CRT range will form on the week one of the month and the turtle soup will occur on week two CRT range will form on Monday and the turtle soup will form on Tuesday or Wednesday why or Wednesday because Tuesday can be an inside bar Wednesday can be the turtle soup high probability CRT let&#39;s say the CRT forms on Friday the turtle soup will look here on Monday if the CRT forms at 5:00 p.m. on the 4 Hour the turtle soup will form at 3:00 a.m. if the turtle soup sorry if the CRT forms at 9:00 p.m. on the 4H hour the turtle soup will will occur at 1:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. if the CRT is forming at 5:00 a.m. on the 4 Hour the turtle soup will occur at 9:00 a.m. this right here actually this entire slide is enough information to make you a successful Trader not many people are going to be r de in this type of information to YouTube to Twitter to anywhere for that matter this is what is controlling the markets study so let&#39;s look at an example for Forex CRT formed at 5:00 p.m. as mentioned where is the turtle soup going to to perform if we formed a CRT at 5:00 p.m. at 3:00 a.m. as you can see 3:00 a.m. turtle soup this is a 4-Hour time frame so 3:00 a.m. turtle soup Distributing to the opposing end of the range if we go back you can see 5:00 p.m. 4our CRT 3:00 a.m. turtle soup exactly what happened here let&#39;s take a look at a Futures example on a 4our chart you can see at 10 p.m. we formed the CRT range and at 1:00 a.m. we Turtle souped then Distributing to the opposing end of the range as I mentioned before Futures you want to be paying attention to 2 6 and 10 on the 4H hour time frame 1000 p.m. CRT and 369 + 1 four Turtle soups CRT at 10 turtle soup at one seems like magic right another example here on Forex 5:00 a.m. formed the turtles sorry 500 a.m. formed the CRT range high and low 9:00 a.m. turtle soup and the third candle Distributing to the range low this is a three candle CRT Perfection right here as mentioned before if the CRT forms at 5:00 a.m. the turtle soup will form at 9:00 a.m. study that rewind and relisten to what ex exactly what I just said the filter approach we&#39;re getting close to the end of the video here and I felt as if it was necessary to add a little bit of psychology to this video strategy models code signatures that&#39;s all one part of trading psychology ho ho ho psychology my friends that is what&#39;s going to distinguish you from the beginners let&#39;s look at something I call the filter approach allow yourself to have filters on your trades filter out the low probability trades as they are a waste of your time and energy save the capital for high probability trades only this is what separates the beginners from the professionals this might seem like common sense but for some reason beginners will always fall victim let&#39;s take an example as you may not understand what I mean if you have back tested and studied properly and while back testing you recognize a specific signature in price that you can always spot clearly visibly it&#39;s always there and you just naturally like it better let&#39;s call this your A+ setup right that is what the retail Community tends to call it well here&#39;s a secret those retail Traders don&#39;t understand that that specific A+ setup is the only setup they should be executing on it&#39;s not an A+ setup it&#39;s simply the setup many retailers would succeed a lot more if they simply understood this so let me simplify when you&#39;re back testing you&#39;re going to see some setups form higher probability setups or A+ setups and you&#39;ll find some lower probability ones as well you&#39;re going to execute the A+ setups and the B+ C+ Etc setups why because you categorized the best setup as your A+ setup rather you shall sorry rather you should be categorizing that A+ setup as your only setup as the setup the only setup that you should be executing on is the one that you can spot clearly the highest probability setups are the only ones that you should be executing on filter everything else out filter everything that is not a plus in your eyes out do not take anything else if there is a specific way that you like your CRTs to form wait for those CRTs Don&#39;t Force any others there&#39;s always going to be more for example if you like inside bar CRTs then don&#39;t trade the three candle ones it&#39;s simple many Traders will fall victim to their impulses gut feelings Etc they will find any way possible to come up with a reason as to why an entry is a good idea when there is nothing on the chart sound familiar this is another common characteristic between the professionals and beginners separate yourself from the rest be sure to focus on your risk to reward and percent gain loss this is very important very very very important I haven&#39;t touched base on this yet however if I get enough comments I will it&#39;s very boring but very very important without the proper R to R you&#39;ll never succeed with CRT set a standard for yourself whether it be 2: one 3:1 1:1 5:1 whatever it may be set a standard for yourself if you only want to take 3 to one trades three R trades only take three R trades do not settle for a two R trade if a two our trade is there don&#39;t take it wait for a three trade to form and if it doesn&#39;t form today wait for tomorrow if it doesn&#39;t form tomorrow wait for the next day etc etc be patient that concludes CRT everything that you need to know about CRT is within this video this is a lot of information I don&#39;t expect you to watch this in one go take your time and allow your brain to absorb the knowledge if you don&#39;t allow yourself to absorb you will never retain anything take your time steady Pace get to the charts back test and study part three of the 9:00 a.m. CR model is is also releasing soon I appreciate all the love and support guys and with that being said good luck Traders I&#39;ll see you next week
