What is Time of the high?
Time of the high is a market-data metric that BlackForge measures for every listed pair on the major spot exchanges, in real time. When the window's highest print happened (the first print at the high), by the venue's trade time. It reports what the order book or trade tape showed, not what price will do next.

Which plan includes Time of the high?
Time of the high is available from the Max plan upward, and on pay-per-call over x402. See pricing for the full plan ladder.
