Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a framework that treats every candle as a tradable range.

A candle defines high/low, the next candle often sweeps one side (manipulation), reclaims back inside, and distributes toward the opposite side with 50% of the range as a common first target.

Lead with context, not the pattern: set a clear higher-timeframe bias, then sync the intermediate and lower timeframes to it. Let equilibrium (0.5) and the C-area define where you expect reactions or follow-through, and time entries with CISD, wick-50% respect, and PD arrays—if alignment breaks, respect the invalidation and wait for the next clean continuation.
