Lukas’s CRT playbook
The strategy notes from the supplied CRT Nasdaq material, cleaned up into a practical on-screen workflow.
Read distribution
Analyze on 60 minutes. Wait for price to interact with the key level and show distribution instead of predicting the turn early.
Refine the entry
Execute on 1 minute. Combine CRT with OB, IFVG, FVG or breaker-block confirmation; a 50% order-block entry can refine a wide zone.
Execution window15:00–17:00 Prague time
Retest disciplineWait for confirmation; a retest is never guaranteed, so do not chase.
Large order blockRefine lower inside the zone rather than accepting unnecessary risk.
News ruleDo not trade major releases; verify the day on Tradays or Forex Factory.
Educational workflow adapted from “CRT NASDAQ STRATEGY,” prepared by Lukas Baranovic. It is a planning aid, not a promise of performance or investment advice.
