Strategy overview

Candle Range Theory (CRT) treats a completed candle's high-to-low span as a reference range, and reads what follows — a sweep of one edge, a rejection, a move toward the other — as the sequence worth trading. What separates this entry from most CRT material is the source itself: not a video walkthrough but a written document, "Candle Range Theory Guía Teórica", a Spanish-language guide hosted on Scribd rather than published under a channel name.

The format changes what the material can and cannot do. A written guide lets you re-read a definition out of order, hold the terminology fixed while you compare passages, and move at your own pace instead of the presenter's — the things a chart-replay video is worst at. What it cannot do is show you a chart in motion and where the author's attention went as it moved, which is precisely how most traders actually learn to recognise a range and its sweep. The title's own word — *teórica* — is an honest label for that trade: it promises a framework and its vocabulary, not a session-by-session execution plan.

The other consequence of a hosted document is attribution. CRT is usually taught through named personalities whose framing carries a visible lineage, a comment section and a track record you can weigh; a file on a document platform carries none of that, so the text has to stand on its internal consistency rather than on who wrote it. The scope it declares is broad — any market or timeframe, with a lower timeframe used for confirmation — which is what you would expect a theory document to assert rather than demonstrate. To be clear about this page: no rule set was extracted from this source, so what you will find here is the CRT concept and the reference to the document, not a decoded set of conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is Candle Range Theory (CRT)?

CRT uses a completed candle's high-to-low range as a reference structure: the edges of that range mark where liquidity sits, and the pattern of interest is a push through one edge followed by rejection and a move back through the range toward the opposite side.

Is this source a video lesson?

No. This entry comes from a written document — a Spanish-language guide titled "Candle Range Theory Guía Teórica" — hosted on a document platform rather than published by a trading channel. It is a reading source, not a chart walkthrough, and it carries no named author or channel identity.

Does a "theory guide" include trade rules?

A guide that calls itself theoretical is normally scoped to definitions and framework — what the range is, what a sweep means, how the pieces relate — rather than to entry, stop and target conditions. No rule set was extracted from this source, so treat this page as a concept reference and the document as background reading.

How do I turn a CRT framework into something I can actually test?

You need the parts theory usually leaves open: which candle defines the range, what confirms a sweep rather than a break, and where the position closes. Strategy Decoder extracts that structure from strategy sources where it is stated explicitly, so you can backtest it on TradingView instead of trading a description.
