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.
Speaking through the analytical frameworks of Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital, Plazo revealed that every NY Open follows a script, even if retail traders don’t see it.
1. “The Market Opens Where Liquidity Is Needed”
Plazo explained that the opening price isn’t chosen by humans—it’s determined by overnight liquidity distribution and pre-market order imbalance.
Institutional Liquidity Hunts at the Open
He explained that institutions use this window to sweep overnight highs and lows, grabbing liquidity before the real move begins.
The Plazo Principle: Wait for the Kill Shot
He explained that this candle exposes institutional intent more reliably than any indicator.
Why Indicators Fail at the Open
He explained that institutions trade liquidity sweeps, Fair Value Gaps, pre-market imbalances, and opening range deviations—not moving averages.
The Simplest, Most Powerful NY Open Framework
He revealed that hedge funds follow this model because it filters 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 read more mystery into a map—one that traders can follow with confidence, discipline, and institutional logic.
