How Joseph Plazo Decoded the NY Open at TEDx

Joseph Plazo didn’t just talk about the New York Open—he dissected it, exposing the structural mechanics that hedge funds rely on every single morning.

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.

Plazo’s First TEDx Revelation

Plazo illustrated that the opening print is designed to facilitate institutional execution, not retail convenience.

Where Most Traders Lose Immediately

He explained that institutions use this window to sweep overnight highs and lows, grabbing liquidity before the real move begins.

A Break of Structure Reveals Direction

He explained that this candle exposes institutional intent more reliably than any indicator.

4. The NY Open Runs on Liquidity, Not Indicators

He explained that institutions trade liquidity sweeps, Fair here 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.

What the Audience Never Expected

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.
