More Indicator Info
This indicator highlights the essential 12 Candles of the three major Market Sessions and draws future lines to show the user when the next session begins. It provides the Highs and Lows of each Market Session, the current day, and the previous day. It also auto-calculates and displays Round Numbers for the 00, 25, 50, and 75 levels.
The indicator was inspired by the Stacey Burke “50 PIPS a Day 12 Candle Rules” trading strategy. Although the original strategy primarily focused on forex, it can be successfully applied to trade cryptocurrencies.
Mr. Burke uses the MT4 platform with the iSessions and SweetSpots indicators. We have coded improved versions of these scripts in PineScript, added a few new features, and combined everything into one easy-to-use TradingView indicator.
Indicator Components:
12 Candle Window
The duration of each session is a three-hour window, which each consists of 12 Fifteen-Minute Candles. This marks the hour prior to equity markets open, the opening hour, and the post-open hour.


High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD)
As the trading day unfolds, we mark the HOD (d-High) and LOD (d-Low) with blue dotted horizontal lines. Then at the start of the next trading day, the former High and Low become the Previous Day High (pd-High) and Low (pd-Low) and are changed to dashes.
Round Numbers
The market will often reverse and trap traders below or above round number levels such as 00, 25, 50, and 75. The indicator can automatically calculate and display lines for the round numbers for twelve levels above and below the current price.
