An MT5 expert advisor that trades the CRT Model 1 pattern: it marks a timed high-low range, waits for a close beyond it and a close back inside, then enters on the retracement. It is a tool, not a ready-made system.
Get one message the moment it launches, with its price.
CRT Model 1 is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that automates one specific price-action routine: define a range using a fixed time window, watch for price to close outside it, then enter when price returns to the range level after closing back inside. It handles the range drawing, entry logic, stop placement and position sizing for you.
The EA first measures the highest and lowest prices between a range start hour and a range end hour, both in broker server time. It draws this as a box on the chart and extends the high and low levels forward through the session. After the range ends, it watches candle closes on the analysis timeframe you select.
The stop loss goes beyond the highest or lowest point formed after the range, plus a buffer. The EA skips a trade if its reward to risk ratio is below the minimum you set.
The EA can be attached to any symbol your broker offers, but it is not tuned to a particular one. Because entries depend on candle closes, the candle analysis timeframe is the key input. M5 and M15 are common choices, though you should test several. Spreads, session times and server time offsets differ between brokers, so results on one account may not match another.
Exact defaults can differ, so check the input tab after loading the EA. The main groups are:
| Group | Input | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Range time | Range start hour, range end hour | Defines the window used to measure the high and low, in server time |
| Trading time | Deadline hour and minute | No new trades are opened after this time |
| Timeframe | Candle analysis timeframe | Sets which candle closes confirm the sweep and the return |
| Risk | Risk per trade (%), minimum risk:reward, min and max lot | Controls position size and filters weak setups |
| Take profit | Take profit type, risk:reward ratio | Targets the opposite range boundary, 50% of the range, or a fixed multiple of risk |
| Visuals | Show visual elements, colours | Toggles the box, lines and dashboard text |
To trade a specific session, convert its time to your broker's server time first. For example, if the candle you want starts at 12:00 server time and lasts four hours, the range would run from 12:00 to 16:00.
This EA is a tool for running one pattern and does not come with settings that are claimed to be profitable. Decide your own risk percentage, test on historical data with realistic spreads, then forward test on a demo account before using live funds.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
A VPS is advisable if you want the EA to run through the whole trading window without interruption.

No. It is supplied as a tool for running the CRT Model 1 pattern, and no set of inputs is presented as profitable. You need to backtest and forward test on your own symbol, broker and time settings before using real money. Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones.
The range start and end are read in your broker's server time, not your local time. Convert the session you want to trade into server time, then set the end hour to match the length of the range. For example, if a four-hour candle starts at 12:00 server time, the end hour would be 16:00. Confirm your broker's server offset in the Market Watch clock.
The pattern depends on candle closes, so the candle analysis timeframe input matters more than the chart you attach it to. Many users try M5 or M15, but you should compare several in the Strategy Tester and choose based on your own testing.
It should run on any MT5 broker that allows expert advisors, but symbol names, server time, spreads and minimum lot sizes differ. Check these on a demo account first, especially the server time offset, since the range depends on it.
It is not strictly required, but the EA must be running during the hours when it looks for setups. A VPS helps avoid missed trades from a computer being switched off or losing its connection.
No. A deadline hour and minute can be set, after which the EA stops looking for new setups. Check how your broker's time compares with the deadline you enter.
