Jesse Rogers teaches the first candle rule: ignore higher timeframes and use the 5-minute chart at market open to mark the day's key levels, then drop to the 1-minute for entries when price breaks with a visible gap between wicks. Target 2:1 risk-to-reward.

Questions this video answers

Get to your desk at 9:30am and wait for the first 5-minute candle (9:30–9:35) to close.

Setup: 5-minute chart; Entry: 1-minute chart.

Price must break the marked level and create a gap between the candle wicks (a mere wick-through or a close is insufficient).

At the first candle that closed outside the first candle's range.

Two-to-one (2:1) risk-to-reward.
