# Timeframe Alignment

The Candle Range Theory (CRT) Model accommodates multiple timeframe alignments, each tailored to examine market trends at varying levels of detail.

The CRT Model supports the following timeframe alignments:

<table><thead><tr><th width="107.45703125">Timeframe</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Automatic</td><td>Automatically selects the best timeframe pairing based on current timeframe. (15s - 5m, 1m - 15m, 2m - 20m, 3m - 30m, 5m - 1H, 15m - 4H, 30m - 12H, 1H - 1D, 4H - 1W, 1D - 1M, 1W - 3M)</td></tr><tr><td>15s - 5m</td><td>Ultra-short-term timeframe pairing for precise, rapid market movements.</td></tr><tr><td>1m - 15m</td><td>Ideal for fast trades and short-term trend analysis.</td></tr><tr><td>1m - 30m</td><td>Short intervals for detailed analysis in a fast-moving market.</td></tr><tr><td>2m - 20m</td><td>Captures small-to-medium price shifts with quicker market reactions.</td></tr><tr><td>3m - 30m</td><td>Provides a balance between short-term movements and clearer trend signals.</td></tr><tr><td>5m - 1H</td><td>Suitable for intraday trades, offering more clarity on medium-term trends.</td></tr><tr><td>15m - 4H</td><td>Useful for swing trades, identifying medium-term price changes and market shifts.</td></tr><tr><td>30m - 12H</td><td>Combines intraday and overnight data for identifying longer-term moves.</td></tr><tr><td>1H - 1D</td><td>Provides a clearer view of market trends over several hours to a full day.</td></tr><tr><td>4H - 1W</td><td>Focuses on mid-to-long-term price movements, ideal for position trading.</td></tr><tr><td>1D - 1M</td><td>Tracks long-term trends, perfect for investors looking at weekly to monthly shifts.</td></tr><tr><td>1W - 3M</td><td>Focuses on broader market trends over weeks or months for strategic planning.</td></tr><tr><td>Custom</td><td>A user-defined timeframe for flexible and personalized analysis.</td></tr></tbody></table>

The popular CRT timeframes:

<table><thead><tr><th width="388.6796875">Timeframe</th><th width="579.51171875">CRT Type</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>15m - 4H</td><td>4H</td></tr><tr><td>5m - 1H</td><td>1H</td></tr></tbody></table>

These timeframes enable traders and investors to identify significant price movements and market shifts, providing insights that range from short-term volatility to long-term trends.
