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.
1. “The Market Opens Where Liquidity Is Needed”
He noted that learning this alone transforms how traders view the opening bell.

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 here into a map—one that traders can follow with confidence, discipline, and institutional logic.
