FIG 01 — ABOUT
About SessionOpen
The trader's daily hub — everything worth checking before the session opens, in one place.
What this is
The SessionOpen desk runs a single daily view of the market backdrop: an economic calendar, COT positioning, Fed rate odds, crypto positioning, breaking news and trade ideas — plus honest prop-firm and broker reviews for traders deciding where to put capital to work.
Editorial independence
Every rating on SessionOpen is computed from verified data through a published formula — Trustpilot standing, track record, regulation, costs and payout terms — never hand-set. Affiliate partnerships never influence a score; a firm cannot buy a better rating. The full formula is on the methodology page.
How this site makes money
SessionOpen earns revenue through affiliate links, clearly disclosed wherever they appear. If you sign up with a broker or prop firm through a link on this site, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See how we rate and how we make money for the full disclosure.
Data freshness
Prop-firm and broker specs are verified against each firm's own site and dated on every review page. Market data — the calendar, COT, Fed odds, crypto positioning and news — refreshes on automated jobs, not manual updates, so the desk stays current through every session.
