# BATON (H1 Candle Range Box | 30 Bars | 50% Midpoint | By JEAN HEROLD MILLIEN)
## Overview
The H1 Candle Range Box is a technical analysis indicator created by **Jean Herold Millien (Roldjy65)**. It is designed to help traders using the **1-Hour Candle Range Theory (1H CRT)** methodology by highlighting the high and low of the most recently completed 1-hour candle.
The indicator automatically draws a range box and a clearly visible dashed midpoint line at the 50% level of the candle's range.
It is designed to work on lower timeframes, allowing traders to monitor the previous completed 1-hour candle while analyzing price action on shorter charts.
## Key Features

* Provides a visual reference for traders looking for potential 1H CRT setups.
### 🎯 Designed for 1H CRT Traders
This indicator is intended to assist traders who use the 1-Hour Candle Range Theory (CRT) methodology.
It helps traders:
* Identify the high and low of the previous completed 1-hour candle.
* Monitor the hourly range on lower timeframes.
* Observe the 50% midpoint as a reference level.
* Analyze price reactions around the previous hourly candle's range.

The indicator can also be used alongside liquidity analysis, market structure, support and resistance, supply and demand zones, and fair value gaps (FVGs).
## How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Verify the indicator name and author: **Jean Herold Millien (Roldjy65)**.
3. Identify the color of the most recently completed hourly candle.
4. Observe the candle's high and low boundaries.
5. Use the dashed 50% midpoint as a reference when analyzing price action.
6. Switch to a lower timeframe to study price behavior around the hourly range.
7. Apply your preferred CRT setup and confirmation rules before entering a trade.
## Important Notes
This indicator is a visual analysis tool. It does not automatically detect or confirm every CRT setup, generate buy or sell signals, or guarantee trading results.
A green box indicates that the hourly candle closed above its open, while a red box indicates that it closed below its open. Candle color alone does not establish the overall market trend.
The 50% midpoint represents the arithmetic midpoint between the candle's high and low. It should not automatically be interpreted as confirmed support, resistance, or a guaranteed entry level.
Always apply proper risk management and confirm trading decisions using your own analysis.
