What are the GC trading hours?

The regular session runs 9:30am to 4:00pm ET. The levels here come from that window, when most of the volume trades.

When are GC levels published?

Pro gets the levels after the US close, usually by about 5:00pm ET, for the next session. Everyone gets the levels 5 minutes before the open.

Are these GC levels free?

Yes, from 5 minutes before the open, together with a breakdown of how price traded around the last session's levels. Pro gets the levels about 1 hour after the close, with touches and volume at every level.

How are the GC levels calculated?

From price structure on the regular session, so the levels describe the hours most traders actually trade. Prices where the market repeatedly turned are grouped into levels.

How to use the GC levels

Each plan lists a pivot, the level nearest the last price, with resistance levels above and support levels below. Draw the levels on your chart before the US open. The pivot is the first price to watch: holding above the pivot keeps the resistance levels in play, and losing the pivot points at the support levels.

The levels come from the regular session, 9:30am to 4:00pm ET, so they describe the hours when most GC volume trades. The recap above shows how price behaved around the last session’s levels, told from that session’s pivot.

The glossary defines every term in a plan, and the sample plan walks through one real session from the levels to the close. Every GC plan is on the GC plans page.
