Strategy overview

Candle Range Theory reads a completed candle's range as the container for the next move — the sweep of one extreme and the close back inside standing in for liquidity taken and bias revealed. What separates this entry from the rest of the CRT catalogue is that it is not a lesson at all: the title, "Le Hice Backtesting a la Estrategia CRT – Resultados Sorprendentes", from the Spanish-language channel Gorka Fx, announces a test and its verdict rather than a setup and its rules.

That shift changes what the viewer is being asked to evaluate. A framework can only be backtested once every discretionary decision inside it has been frozen into something a machine or a spreadsheet can repeat: which candle defines the range, what counts as a sweep rather than a wick, what confirms the return inside, where the stop and target sit, and what happens when two candidates appear in the same session. CRT leaves most of those open by design, so a backtest of "the CRT strategy" is always a backtest of one particular operationalisation of it — and the surprise, whatever it is, belongs to that version rather than to the concept.

What would make such a result checkable is a declared test surface: instrument, timeframe, date range, number of trades, spread and commission assumptions, and whether anything was held back as out-of-sample. None of those are on record here, and the entry carries no timeframe, instrument, indicator or chapter markers of its own, which leaves the source video as the only place the testing conditions can be inspected. Treat it as a claim about evidence to be examined, not as a rule set to be copied.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this CRT video different from a normal CRT tutorial?

It is presented as a backtest report rather than a lesson. Instead of teaching how the range, sweep and return are read, it reports the outcome of testing a version of the approach — so the subject is the evidence, not the setup.

Can Candle Range Theory actually be backtested?

Only after its discretionary parts are turned into fixed rules — which candle defines the range, what qualifies as a sweep, what confirms the return inside, and how risk is placed. Different people mechanise CRT differently, so a backtest result describes that specific version, not the concept as a whole.

What should I look for before trusting a backtest result from a video?

The instrument and timeframe tested, the date range, how many trades the sample contains, whether spread, commission and slippage were included, and whether any period was reserved as out-of-sample. Without those, a headline result cannot be compared to anything or reproduced.

Are this video's exact rules and test settings listed on this page?

No rule set was extracted for this entry, so the page catalogues it as part of the CRT concept family and points back to the source video. Strategy Decoder indexes strategy videos and, where the material allows, extracts their structure so it can be reviewed and tested on TradingView.
