CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter
By LuxAlgoJul 6, 2026
CRT Sweep & Setup Highlighter is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.
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 (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: a break that cannot hold beyond the level often supplies the fuel for the move back the other way.
