FEATURES

A terminal, not a charting app.

Live engine

Detect parents, sweeps, OBs, signals, and invalidations in real time. Implemented straight from the SPEC — every rule cross-referenced by Q-number.

Nine side panels

Stats, Tearsheet, Inspector, Logs, Analytics, Versions, Diff, Drawings, and Zones — all driven by the same per-(symbol, ltf, htf) engine instance.

Frame-by-frame replay

Scrub the full backtest event stream at 1×/2×/5×/10×. Pause on any bar to see the engine's view in the Inspector.

Expected vs actual diff

Drop BUY/SELL/INVALID markers on the chart, run the engine, and see matches / false positives / false negatives with per-row reasons.

Versions

Save runs with their PineScript SHA + stat snapshot. Diff between versions to see why your win rate moved.

One-tap AI export

Export the full chart context — CRTs, order blocks, signals, trades — as one structured envelope, formatted for any AI assistant. Real engine events, no hallucinated explanations.

CANDLE RANGE THEORY

What is Candle Range Theory?

Candle Range Theory treats one higher-timeframe candle — the parent — as the range that matters. When price wicks beyond the parent's high or low and then closes back inside, that sweep marks a likely reversal toward the other side of the range. CRT is that pattern, defined precisely enough to test.

CRT sits in the same family as ICT concepts — liquidity, sweeps, order blocks — but narrows them to one repeatable structure with fixed rules. No discretion about where the range starts or what counts as a sweep. The same definition applies on forex, metals, or anything with a candle chart.

CRT Terminal runs that definition as a live detection engine. Every parent, sweep, confirmation, and order block is detected by the same code, marked on the chart, and logged with its reason. Replay any sequence frame by frame, backtest it, and see why a trading setup fired — or why it didn't.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Candle Range Theory (CRT)?

A price-action model built on parent candle ranges: when price sweeps the high or low of a higher-timeframe candle and closes back inside its range, that confirms a likely move toward the other side. CRT Terminal implements it as a deterministic detection engine with fixed, testable rules.

What data, markets, and timeframes are covered?

The terminal runs on live and historical price data, with timeframes from M1 up to weekly and monthly, and higher-timeframe context overlays resampled server-side. You pick the symbol and the LTF/HTF pair; the engine does the rest.

Is this a signal service or analysis software?

Analysis software. The engine detects CRT setups and emits signals from fixed rules, with the full decision trail behind each one — but it never places trades and nothing here is financial advice. You verify the logic yourself with replay and backtesting.

How does the trial work? Can I cancel?

No card required. Cancel from Settings · Billing at any point — you keep access until the period ends.

How is CRT Terminal different from TradingView?

TradingView is a general charting app; CRT Terminal is a purpose-built terminal for one model. The engine detects parents, sweeps, confirmations, and order blocks itself, and the replay, backtests, and stats all run on that same event stream — no indicator scripts to maintain.

Do I need to know ICT concepts first?

No. CRT borrows from ICT concepts like liquidity sweeps and order blocks, but the engine marks every structure on the chart with its reason. The Learn section covers the model from zero.

Do I need to connect a broker?

No. The terminal is a research and backtesting tool — it reads market data and never places trades.
