CRT is usually represented with 3
candles on HTF. It includes the
concept of the Power of Three
(PO3) and Turtle Soup (TS).
Types of CRT
3 Candles CRT (PO3)
CRT + inside bar (ideal if
you’re a beginner)
NOTE
CRT is NOT random
You MUST consider the
aspect of Time & Price
C a n d l e R a n g e T h e o r y ( C R T )
CRT + inside bar
Multiple candles inside CRT
Mark High and Low on the 1st candle
It takes longer to form
It is Higher Probability
Better for beginner (or traders who
want entry on confirmation)
C a n d l e R a n g e T h e o r y ( C R T )
CRT Methodology
Every single candle is a range
on its on (on each TF)
Range can either be
manipulated (turtle souped)
or broken out (BO) or
retested.
To determine the HTF bias,
look whether HTF candle has
been turtle souped or not.
C a n d l e R a n g e T h e o r y ( C R T )
TS & CSD
TS = Turtle soup
CSD = Change in State of Delivery
A candle can either be broken out or it can be wicked (TS).
Bullish: Wick below & close above previous candle
Bearish: Wick above & close below the previous candle
Wicking (manipulation) MUST happen on the HTF Key zones
such as;
Supply & Demand (SND)
Support & Resistant (SNR)
Order Block (OB)
Double Maru (DM) or Gap
Breaker (Br)
QMR/QMC/QMM
SNRC1/2/3
C a n d l e R a n g e T h e o r y ( C R T )
CSD = Change in State of Delivery
Closing above the last OB made before market reverses is
what we call CSD.
C a n d l e R a n g e T h e o r y ( C R T )
The Power of Three (PO3)
PO3 is 3 candles CRT
This represents 3 stages of Price Delivery
Each stage has its own objectives (AMD)
A = Accumulation - 1st candle
M = Manipulation - 2nd candle
D = Distribution - 3rd candle
1st candle: Forms the range. Mark High & Low
2nd candle: Forms the soup. The most ADVANCED entries
3rd candle: Quickest trades & easiest entries with very
High Probability
BEARRISH = Sell above open of the 3rd candle
BULLISH = Buy below open of the 3rd candle
Profits = TP 1 at 50%, TP 2 at Low/High

to be considered a high probability trade.
(NOTE: If the T.S doesn’t happen at the right
time, don’t execute the trade)
