Honesty line: today's Nitro CRT backtest (run_nitro_crt_a_rebreak_bt.py, 10 stocks, clean data: −$86,953, PF 0.90, 370 trades) used a simplified Roman-style order-management stand-in (one stop, one target, 0.5% risk, max 2/day), not the full stack.

Summary bullets 8
(en-orig deep-card captions; timestamps are video mm:ss; “not stated” is retained where the card gives no rule.)
Main logic
- [02:35–04:03] CRT is a three-candle sequence: C1 absolute high/low; C2 sweeps one side and closes back inside; C3 is expected to deliver to the opposite C1 extreme.
- [08:28–10:30] Trade with 1H/2H liquidity and order-block trend; the creator claims this is the difference between ~50% and 80–90%.
Entry
- [05:11, 27:35, 31:55] Execute on 1m. Worked example 1 uses a rebreak; example 2 describes direct break. No fixed break-vs-rebreak rule is stated.
Stop
- [06:40, 27:09] Place TP first and drag stop until the tool shows 1.5R. No structural stop is stated.
Target
- [06:37] TP is the opposite C1 extreme.
Risk filters
- [18:55–20:35] Wait through the open; skip pure chop/barcoding, missing liquidity/OB context, no-news days and often Mondays. [07:10, 21:12] Limit to 1–2 CRTs/day.
Timeframe
- [05:11, 28:46] 1m execution; CRT 15m/30m/1H; if all form, play the lowest (15m). [07:48, 07:52] NY 09:30–12:00 ET and Asia 20:00–22:00 ET.
Exceptions
- [29:00] Skip a 15m case when C3 fails and the fourth candle breaks; Monday A+ example conflicts with Monday caution; no exact news definition.

1Strategy write-up
- Main logic
- Three-candle CRT: mark C1 wick range; C2 sweeps and closes back inside; C3 delivers to the opposite extreme. Use top-down 1H/2H liquidity and OB context and seek a clean, first NY CRT with the bias.
- Entry
- 1m execution; examples use rebreak and direct break. The video explains break/rebreak but gives no fixed selection rule (05:43, 27:35, 31:55).
- Stop
- Place TP at C1 opposite extreme, then drag stop to 1.5R (06:37–06:40, 27:09); no structural stop. Examples show 14.25/21.25 and 21/31.5 points.
- Target
- C1 opposite extreme; set-and-forget to TP/SL (06:37, 27:55).
- Risk filters
- Wait 10–15 (up to 30) minutes after open; skip chop/barcoding, no-news days, often Mondays, and CRTs without liquidity/OB context (18:55–20:35). One to two CRTs/day (07:10, 21:12).
- Timeframe
- 1H/2H context; CRT 15m/30m/1H; lowest/tightest if simultaneous; 1m execution; NY 09:30–12:00 ET and Asia 20:00–22:00 ET.
- Exceptions
- 15m can be skipped when C3 fails and the fourth candle breaks; Monday A+ example conflicts with Monday caution; replay session label is ambiguous.

Playbook summary what this video teaches
- Setup: three-candle CRT. C1 high/low range; C2 sweeps one side and closes back inside; C3 is expected to deliver to C1's opposite extreme.
- Context: trade with 1H/2H liquidity and order-block trend; seek a clean, first NY CRT with the bias.
- Timeframe: CRT on 15m/30m/1H (if all form, play the lowest, 15m); 1m execution; NY 09:30-12:00 ET and Asia 20:00-22:00 ET.
- Entry: on 1m. Worked examples use a rebreak and a direct break; no fixed break-vs-rebreak rule is stated.
- Stop/target: TP at C1 opposite extreme, then drag the stop to 1.5R (no structural stop). Set-and-forget.
- Filters: wait 10-15 (up to 30) min after the open; skip chop/barcoding, no-news days, often Mondays, and CRTs without liquidity/OB context. 1-2 CRTs per day.
- Exception: skip a 15m case when C3 fails and the fourth candle breaks.

max_crt_per_day | 1-2 | video (current code: 2) |
(b) Detection and entry logic
- Detect C2 sweep + close inside on 15m/30m/1H; prefer the lowest TF when several fire.
- Require 1H/2H liquidity or OB context in the trade direction.
- Arm after the open delay; enter on 1m break or rebreak of C2's opposite extreme.
- TP = C1 opposite; stop placed at 1.5R from TP.
- Veto chop days, no-news days and (often) Mondays; stop after 1-2 CRTs.
(c) Already coded in our Nitro CRT implementation
- C1/C2 sweep + close back inside: run_nitro_crt_a_rebreak_bt.py::detect_and_simulate (sw_lo / sw_hi, inside, c2_edge_tol_frac=0.0), on 5m bars only (resample_ohlc '5min').
- Bias: run_nitro_crt_a_rebreak_bt.py::_bias_series bias_mode='ema20_50' on 15m (last completed bar at C2 close); counter-bias skipped.
- Entry: A+ rebreak only. Pullback past the C2 body midpoint ((c2.open+c2.close)/2), then a 5m close beyond the C2 opposite extreme; a first break without pullback is skipped (gate b_pack_no_pullback). 5m close back through the sweep extreme cancels.
- Stop: beyond the C2 sweep extreme, floored by run_nitro_crt_a_rebreak_bt.py::min_stop_distance (stocks max($0.05, 0.05% of price); NQ 5 pts). Structural, not TP-anchored.
- Target: run_nitro_crt_a_rebreak_bt.py::detect_and_simulate target_mode='c1_opposite' (long = C1 high, short = C1 low); skip if R:R < min_rr=0.5 (rr_fallback_R=None).
- Set-and-forget: 1m stop/target scan from the fill, flat at eod_flat 16:00 ET; no BE or trail.
- Session/caps: SESSION_START 09:30 to SESSION_END 12:00 ET, max_per_day=2 (MAX_TRADES_PER_DAY), one position at a time, RISK_PCT=0.005.
- Plugin nitro_crt_v1: python/signal_contract.py::build_signal only formats an entry signal (trigger_price, stop_hint, target_hint); ninja/NitroCRT_Entry_v1.cs is a stub (EmitOnly=true, session + RequireHtfBias knobs, no C1/C2 detector). Roman Essentials/ZZ is the order manager.
- Research only: backtests/sweep_2026-09-29/sweep_core.py grids 15/30/60m range bars, 15m/1h/4h EMA bias, 1R/1.5R/2R targets, 'immediate' (C2-close) entry, maxday 1/2. Not in the runner or plugin; verdict NO PROMOTION (SUMMARY.json).
