# CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®. Projects the previous higher-timeframe range's high and low, flags a sweep after a candle breaks one of those levels and closes back inside the range, and requires a Fair Value Gap or Market Structure Shift before confirming the setup with projected entry, stop, and target zones. A rules-based workflow for traders who fade liquidity grabs at HTF extremes. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Jul 6, 2026. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Candle Range Theory](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/candle-range-theory/) (primary), [Liquidity Sweep](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/liquidity-sweep/) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=cmr9s8t330006ko0abov9d3vg - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/crt-sweep-setup-highlighter/ The **CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter** automates a complete sweep-and-confirm workflow around higher-timeframe levels. It projects the previous HTF period's high and low, watches for a [liquidity sweep](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/liquidity-sweep/) (price breaking a level by at least your minimum break value, then closing back inside the range), and only marks a setup once a Fair Value Gap or Market Structure Shift confirms it, complete with projected risk-to-reward zones. ## How to Trade the CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter? - **HTF context**: choose a higher timeframe (60 minutes, for example) and the script draws the prior period's high and low as working support and resistance. - **Manipulation zone**: when price violates a level beyond the break threshold, the area is highlighted as a potential grab of resting orders. - **Confirmed setup**: an FVG or MSS following the sweep validates the trade, and entry, stop-loss, and take-profit boxes are projected for management. - **Chart hygiene**: enable "Only Keep Visuals if Setup Found" and periods that never produced a valid setup are wiped from the chart. The premise is the failed-breakout logic behind [Turtle Soup](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/turtle-soup/): a break that cannot hold beyond the level often supplies the fuel for the move back the other way. ## CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter Settings - **Higher Timeframe**: the reference period whose high and low are projected. - **Setup Type**: the confirmation required: FVG, MSS, Both, or None. - **Draw Risk:Reward**: toggles the entry, stop, and target visualization. - **Only Keep Visuals if Setup Found**: clears markers from periods without a valid setup. - **Minimum Break Type / Minimum Break Value**: how far beyond the level price must trade (in ticks or as a percentage) before a sweep counts. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Does it produce buy and sell signals? It provides setup alerts and visual highlights built from price action rules (sweep plus confirmation) rather than acting as an automated system. The projected zones frame the trade; the decision stays yours. ### How does it differ from the Liquidity Sweeps indicator? [Liquidity Sweeps](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sweeps/) detects sweep events around swing levels in general. This tool anchors the hunt to the previous higher-timeframe range and layers FVG/MSS confirmation plus risk-to-reward projection on top. ### Is the CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter free to use? It is. The LuxAlgo Library provides it at no cost, and you can backtest the whole workflow in Quant, our coding agent, without leaving the page. You can also copy the source code from this page and run it anywhere Pine Script® runs. ## Related indicators - [Candle 2 Closure](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/candle-2-closure/) (Candle Range Theory): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/candle-2-closure.md - [Liquidity Sweeps](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sweeps/) (Liquidity Sweep): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sweeps.md - [FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fvg-liquidity-sweep-cisd/) (Liquidity Sweep): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fvg-liquidity-sweep-cisd.md - [ICT Silver Bullet](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ict-silver-bullet/) (Silver Bullet): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ict-silver-bullet.md - [ICT Unicorn Model](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ict-unicorn-model/) (Unicorn): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ict-unicorn-model.md - [Seek & Destroy Profile](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/seek-and-destroy-profile/) (Smart Money Concepts / ICT): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/seek-and-destroy-profile.md - [One-shot-one-kill](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/one-shot-one-kill/) (Smart Money Concepts / ICT): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/one-shot-one-kill.md - [Session & Weekly Profiles](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/session-and-weekly-profiles/) (Smart Money Concepts / ICT): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/session-and-weekly-profiles.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/crt-sweep-setup-highlighter/ (LuxAlgo Library).
