What is Time of the low?
Time of the low is a market-data metric that BlackForge measures for every listed pair on the major spot exchanges, in real time. When the window's lowest print happened (the first print at the low), 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 low?
Time of the low is available from the Max plan upward, and on pay-per-call over x402. See pricing for the full plan ladder.
