The stock market

Stakes in real companies — moved by their quarterly results and by the market’s general mood together, within fixed exchange hours rather than around the clock.

When does it move?

The New York session runs 9:30 to 16:00 New York time on weekdays. The sharpest moves come in the first half hour, the last half hour, and on earnings announcements.

What drives it?

Quarterly earnings, management guidance and sector news, plus the direction of the index the stock belongs to.

How does the indicator read it?

Price gaps between the close and the open are common here, so the Important Candle Line helps test how solid a zone is after the gap before you build a decision on it.
