What Traders Say
“Great platform with plenty of useful information. I'd love to see even more content added over time, but what's already available is definitely worth it.”
“Very solid educational platform. Some topics require a bit of focus if you're completely new, but the explanations are logical and easy to revisit.”
“This is one of the few places that focuses on market context instead of promising unrealistic results. It completely changed the way I look at charts.”
“I've gone through a lot of trading content over the years, but this is one of the few platforms that actually explains why the market moves instead of just showing entries. Everything is structured and easy to follow.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the NY 09:30 Open + Previous 16:14 Close script draw?⌄
It draws three dashed lines each day — the 09:30 New York open, the prior session's 16:14 close, and the 50% midpoint between them (labeled "50% C.E."), all computed from precise 1-minute data.
Which of the three lines should I actually watch first?⌄
The 50% midpoint ("C.E.," consequent encroachment) is frequently the more meaningful reaction level of the three — treat the open/close lines as the boundaries of the range and the midpoint as the level worth watching first.
How far forward do these lines extend?⌄
Only across the current day, from 09:30 to the next midnight — that's intentional, since these are meant to be read as same-day reference levels rather than carried forward indefinitely.
Does this replace tracking the RTH Opening Gap separately?⌄
No — this script provides the exact levels, while the RTH Opening Gap concept explains the theory behind why the 09:30 open specifically matters; the two are meant to be used together.
