From the moment Joseph Plazo took the TEDx floor, the crowd sensed they were about to be taken inside a part of trading very few retail traders understand—the controlled chaos of the New York Open.
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
He showed the audience how institutional algos aggregate overnight demand to position price exactly where the most liquidity exists.
2. The First 5 Minutes Are a Trap—By Design
He cautioned that entering too early means donating liquidity to algos.
3. The Real Opportunity Comes From the First Displacement
He explained that this candle exposes institutional intent more reliably than any indicator.
Why Indicators Fail at the Open
With Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital data, he demonstrated how sessions repeatedly target liquidity levels set overnight and at 8:30 AM.
The Simplest, Most Powerful NY Open Framework
He revealed that hedge funds follow this model because it filters website noise and isolates algorithmic intent.
Why Plazo’s TEDx Talk Hit So Hard
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 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.
