Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a revolutionary price action methodology that reveals how institutional traders manipulate individual candle ranges to control market direction. Unlike traditional technical analysis that focuses on patterns and indicators, CRT teaches you to read the story inside each candle—where liquidity sits, how smart money accumulates positions, and when reversals are imminent.

This hub is your complete roadmap to mastering CRT. You'll learn core fundamentals like candle anatomy and range manipulation, liquidity concepts including order blocks and fair value gaps, integration strategies combining CRT with Wyckoff and Time Theory, and mechanical trading systems for consistent execution.

Whether you're preparing for prop firm challenges, hunting liquidity grabs, or building a Wyckoff-based system, CRT provides the foundation for reading institutional order flow with precision.
