CRT uses 3 candles on higher timeframes: C1 establishes the range, C2 sweeps one side of C1 (the manipulation), C3 expands in the real direction (distribution). You trade the C3 direction after C2 sweep is confirmed.
The power of CRT: it identifies WHERE smart money is entering (C2 sweep) and WHICH direction they want price to go (back through C1 range). Drop to 5-minute chart during C2 to find your precise entry.
