At 4 PM today the real market opens. Most traders won't know it happened.

Hey —

Don Kaufman here.

Every day at 4 PM, most traders close their screens and walk away.

They think the market closed.

It didn't.

What happens between 4 PM and the next morning's open is the most profitable window in the stock market — documented by a Columbia Business School study that found the majority of total stock market gains over the last two decades happened overnight. Not during the day.

$1 in the daytime market over thirty years is now worth 95 cents. $1 in the overnight window is worth $17.

The institutions found this decades ago. They've been quietly trading it ever since. Retail traders were never told — because retail traders staring at screens from 9:30 to 4 is exactly how the big money makes its money.

Today at 1 PM Eastern, Brandon Chapman, CMT, hands that window to retail traders. Live on camera. Real trades. Real tickers. Real timestamps. Dollar by dollar.

Tesla — $0.55 per contract — 281% by the next morning.
Broadcom — to the downside — 263% overnight.
Microsoft 222%. Meta 217%. Apple 215%.

Two types of traders exist. Those who find out about moves after they happened — and those who were positioned before the close. Today at 1 PM you find out how to be the second kind.

PUT ME ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF 4 PM ›

Talk soon,

Chief Market Strategist, TheoTrade

P.S. At 4 PM today the overnight window opens — with or without you. The traders in Brandon's room at 1 PM will know exactly how to be positioned for it. Be one of them ›
