The energy in the TEDx hall surged as Joseph Plazo announced that he would reveal the institutional blueprint for navigating the most violent, opportunity-rich window in the market.
Plazo stressed that the 9:30 AM open is where algorithms expose their intent—if you know how to read them.
Plazo’s First TEDx Revelation
Plazo explained that the opening price isn’t chosen by humans—it’s determined by overnight liquidity distribution and pre-market order imbalance.
Where Most Traders Lose Immediately
He cautioned that entering too early means donating liquidity to algos.
3. The Real Opportunity Comes From the First Displacement
Plazo taught the audience that the next step is simple but disciplined: wait for price to retrace into the origin of that displacement.
Plazo’s Liquidity-First Model
Plazo showed that indicators react too slowly for the opening volatility.
5. The Opening Range Strategy
Plazo explained that the opening 1-minute candle sets the “Opening Range,” which becomes the battlefield for the next 10–30 minutes.
The Standing Ovation
When the talk ended, the crowd understood something they’d never considered:
the New York Open isn’t chaotic—it’s engineered.
And if you learn the engineering, you read more learn the trade.
Joseph Plazo transformed the NY Open from a mystery into a map—one that traders can follow with confidence, discipline, and institutional logic.
