# Advanced CRT Multi-Session Trading Indicator

This indicator implements Candle Range Theory (CRT) methodology for identifying high-probability trading opportunities during key market sessions. The strategy analyzes specific time-based candle relationships to detect institutional manipulation and expansion phases across 1AM, 5AM, and 9AM session markers.

## █ OVERVIEW

CRT focuses on trading expansion and reversal patterns that form when market makers complete their manipulation phases during specific session transitions. The indicator identifies three primary CRT candles for each target session and analyzes their relationships with previous session ranges to determine optimal entry conditions.

## █ FEATURES

**Multi-Session Analysis**
- 1AM CRT: Tracks 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM reference candles (CBDR/Asia Range)
- 5AM CRT: Monitors 5:00 PM, 9:00 PM, and 1:00 AM candles for London lunch setups
- 9AM CRT: Analyzes 9:00 PM, 1:00 AM, and 5:00 AM relationships for NY session entries

**Intraday Profile Detection**
- Normal vs Delayed Protraction Profiles for 1AM setups
- London lunch low identification for 5AM continuation patterns
- NY continuation and reversal scenarios for 9AM candles

**Market Profile Classification**
- Consolidation phase identification (CBDR/Asia ranges)
- Manipulation detection (session transition periods)
- Expansion confirmation (true directional moves)

**OHLC Trading Framework**
- Buy below opening price methodology for bullish setups
- Sell above opening price rules for bearish conditions
- Key level integration with order blocks and fair value gaps

## █ HOW TO USE

**Step 1: Session Identification**
Set your charts to display the relevant CRT candles based on your trading session. The indicator highlights 1AM, 5AM, and 9AM candles with their corresponding reference periods.

**Step 2: Profile Analysis**
Monitor the intraday profile classification to determine if the market is in consolidation, manipulation, or expansion phase. Focus only on expansion and reversal setups as recommended.

**Step 3: Entry Confirmation**
Wait for price to interact with the opening price of your target CRT candle during key times. Use M15 timeframe for entry execution with Model #1 order block confirmation.

**Step 4: Risk Management**
Apply 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward ratios with stops placed according to the session's high/low protection levels.

## █ KEY TIMES

**1AM CRT Sessions:**
- 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM (London Opening)
- 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM (ICT Silver Bullet)

**5AM CRT Sessions:**
- 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM (London Lunch)
- 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM (NY Opening)

**9AM CRT Sessions:**
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM (Primary)
- 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM (Secondary)

## █ SMT INTEGRATION

The indicator includes Smart Money Technique (SMT) analysis between EURUSD and GBPUSD pairs during session overlaps. This correlation analysis helps confirm the strength of CRT setups during London lunch with NY and other session transitions.

## █ LIMITATIONS

This indicator requires understanding of Draw on Liquidity (DOL) concepts for effective implementation. Signals work best when daily DOL aligns with the identified CRT setup direction. The strategy focuses specifically on 15-minute timeframe entries and may not be suitable for longer-term position trading.

Results are based on historical session behavior patterns and require proper market context analysis. Performance varies during low-volatility periods and major news events. Not recommended for automated trading without additional confirmation signals.

**Important:** This indicator is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always practice proper risk management and consider your risk tolerance before trading.
