This CRT Trading Strategy Wins 8 Out of 10 Trades

Summary

The presenter reviews roughly six or seven trades over about a week and a half to explain his Candle Range Theory (CRT) approach. He says recent strategy adjustments raised his claimed win rate from around 60–65% to about 74%; elsewhere, he describes a 60–80% win-rate range. The title claims eight wins out of ten, but the video does not provide an independently verified performance record. The examples include wins, a stop-out, and a trade closed near breakeven that later reached its target.

His central message is that a CRT signal should not be traded in isolation. He first assesses higher-timeframe direction and important price areas, then evaluates the lower-timeframe setup. Depending on volatility and market conditions, he uses either a direct-breakout or retest entry.

CRT Framework

• Start with a higher timeframe: The presenter usually checks the hourly chart for directional bias, buying or selling pressure, prior highs and lows, liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and price zones that have been repeatedly rejected.
• Assess lower-timeframe price action: He checks whether the market is orderly or choppy and looks for a CRT formation, commonly on the 15-minute chart. One example uses a 30-minute CRT.
• Identify the CRT: Price takes a candle’s high or low, then turns back into the candle’s range. The presenter looks for a break of the middle candle’s level as an entry trigger.
• Choose an entry style:
  • A direct breakout is more aggressive and may enter sooner.
  • A re-breakout or retest waits for an initial break, a pullback, and a second break. The presenter says this may improve selectivity or success rate, but can also mean missing trades.
• Set a target and stop: In the main setup, he typically targets 1.5R, placing the target at the relevant CRT candle level and adjusting the stop to achieve that risk/reward ratio.
• Manage the position: For some trades, he says he closes 8 or 9 of 10 contracts at the first CRT target and leaves the rest for a larger move. He cites potential outcomes of 2.8R to 5R when runners reach farther levels, but says he closed one example fully because of volatility.
• Adapt to the context: When there is no clear higher-timeframe bias, he may take the first CRT of the session, while acknowledging that this is riskier. He also avoids forcing trades when no suitable setup appears.

Performance, Risk, and Cautions

The stated win-rate figures—74%, 60–65% previously, and 60–80%—are the presenter’s claims and are not independently substantiated in the video.

The reviewed examples include profitable trades, a stop-loss, and a trade the presenter closed near breakeven that subsequently reached its target. He attributes that early exit to his execution rather than the setup.

The presenter emphasizes that losses are part of trading. He also notes that unclear direction, choppy price action, volatility, and countertrend trades increase risk.
