# Overview

CRT Model Overview

Candle Range Theory (CRT) is applied **fractally**: choose an anchor candle (session or higher‑timeframe), let the next candle test or sweep a boundary, and trade the reclaim in alignment with broader bias.

Candle Range Theory treats each candle as a tradable **range**, most often using a simple, repeatable model where (1) one candle defines the range, (2) the next candle “sweeps” one side of that range (often a turtle-soup style liquidity grab), and (3) price then drives toward the opposite side of the range; many traders use the 50% of that range as a first target.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/models/crt-model-tm/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
