Strategy overview

Candle Range Theory treats a completed candle's range as the unit of structure — one side gets swept for the orders resting beyond it, and the resolution tends to run toward the other. This entry decodes "CRT | Teoría de Rango de Velas | 90% WINRATE" from the channel Titanes del Trading, and the first thing worth noticing is not the size of that headline number but where it is attached: to the name of a concept, rather than to a strategy.

That distinction does real work. A win rate is a property of a complete rule set — an entry price, a point where the idea is wrong, and a place where the trade is closed. CRT, on its own, supplies only the middle piece: it tells you which range was raided and which way the resolution should run. Everything that turns that read into a countable win or loss — the stop convention, the target, whether partials come off early — belongs to whoever built the wrapper around it. So a percentage quoted beside the acronym is never really measuring CRT; it is measuring one author's undisclosed exit policy, with the concept's name on the label.

With range-based patterns this is sharper than usual, because the range supplies both ends of the trade. The same sweep, read identically, produces a very different hit rate depending on whether the target sits at the range's opposite extreme, short of it, or beyond it — nearer targets fill more often and pay less, further ones the reverse. The exit convention is the dial that sets the number, which makes it the single most useful thing to listen for in a video that leads with one. No rules were extracted for this entry, so this page stands on the concept and the source video itself rather than on a decoded rule set — and the exit rule is what to go looking for when you watch it.

Frequently asked questions

What is Candle Range Theory (CRT)?

CRT is a price-action framework that reads the high-low range of a completed candle as a structural unit: price runs past one side of the range to take the orders resting there, and the move that follows is read as the resolution toward the other side. It describes when a turn is likely, not how to size, stop or exit the trade.

Does CRT really have a 90% win rate?

That figure comes from the title of the source video. Treat it as a headline rather than a measured result: no sample size, instrument, date range or reward-to-risk figure accompanies it here, and a win rate is a property of a complete rule set — entry, invalidation and target — not of a chart pattern read in isolation.

Why does the exit rule change a strategy's win rate so much?

Because the same entries can be closed in many places. A target set inside or at the edge of the range is reached more often but returns less per trade; a target beyond it is reached less often but pays more. Both can come from identical reads, so a hit rate quoted without its target rule cannot be compared to anything.

How should I evaluate a CRT approach I learned from a video?

Write down the parts the concept does not supply — where the setup is invalidated, where the trade is closed, and on what instrument and timeframe — then backtest that complete rule set on historical data before risking capital.
