True Open as a Time Filter

True Open is the opening price of the second quarter (Q2) of a cycle. It marks the point where the manipulation phase officially starts.

Use it as a time filter

• Price above True Open: look for shorts
• Price below True Open: look for longs

The idea is to buy below where the cycle really started and sell above it. That one rule removes a lot of trades taken on the wrong side.

Before and after True Open

Before True Open is noise. After True Open is the logic of the cycle.

A meaningful Judas Swing is read against True Open. A swing that happens before it is usually just noise.

In the course I show how to find the True Open of each cycle, including the Monthly True Open and which week counts, and how to use it with the Judas Swing.
