[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/uAefB8yHvOlI/en/trading-macros-fair-value-gaps-and-the-8-30-and-9-30-open?t=8) When time, eight thirty, spooling at eight, at eight thirty, that's the only thirty-minute delineator for a macro.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/uAefB8yHvOlI/en/trading-macros-fair-value-gaps-and-the-8-30-and-9-30-open?t=17) Everything else is three fifteen to three forty-five for the last hour trading, and then you have the, uh, first ten minutes to the top of the hour and the f- first ten minutes after the top of the hour.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/uAefB8yHvOlI/en/trading-macros-fair-value-gaps-and-the-8-30-and-9-30-open?t=52) Do nothing. Sit still and wait for the nine thirty opening bell.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/uAefB8yHvOlI/en/trading-macros-fair-value-gaps-and-the-8-30-and-9-30-open?t=57) But because I built the case around everything I'm talking about today...
