📌 Smart CRT Indicator – Spot Trend Reversals and Continuations with Precision

The Smart CRT Indicator is a versatile price action tool that identifies Candle Range Trap (CRT) patterns—powerful setups that often precede either trend reversals or breakout continuations.

It detects and visualizes market conditions where price gets "trapped" within a prior range or breaks out deceptively, giving traders early insight into potential directional moves.

🔍 Key Features:

✅ Bullish & Bearish CRT Signals
Accurately spots both reversal and continuation setups using CRT logic across three core patterns.

✅ Flexible Range Close Filter
Customize how deeply the second candle closes within the first candle's range to fine-tune signal quality.

✅ Trend Filter (Optional)
Choose whether to only show signals aligned with the dominant trend, using a customizable SMA filter.

✅ Visual Range Mapping
Automatically draws range lines to mark key price zones for CRT patterns. Adjustable style, color, and width.

✅ Real-Time Alerts
Get notified instantly when a new CRT pattern appears on your chart.

🧠 CRT Pattern Types Detected:

Inside Bar CRT: A compression pattern inside a larger range that signals potential breakout or reversal.

Multi-Candle CRT: A group of smaller candles shrinking inside an anchor candle—often a sign of building momentum.

Purge CRT: A deceptive breakout beyond the previous candle’s range, followed by an immediate reversal.

⚙️ Best For:

Traders seeking trend continuation breakout setups

Traders looking to fade false moves or catch reversals

Price action traders who rely on candle structure and traps

Swing, intraday, or even scalping strategies

🧩 Tip:

Combine CRT signals with Key Levels, FVG, support/resistance or order block zones for high-probability confluence entries.
