When Joseph Plazo stepped onto the TEDx stage, he didn’t open with abstractions or motivational soundbites. He opened with the most explosive minute in global finance: 9:30 AM New York Time, the moment Wall Street takes its first breath.
Plazo stressed that the 9:30 AM open is where algorithms expose their intent—if you know how to read them.

Plazo explained that the opening price isn’t chosen by humans—it’s determined by overnight liquidity distribution and pre-market order imbalance.

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.
