Abstract: Suppose $(B,pi)$ is an open book supporting $(Y,xi)$, where the binding $B$ is possibly disconnected, and $K$ is a braid about this open book. Then $BcupK$ is naturally a transverse link in $(Y,xi)$. We prove that the transverse link invariant in knot Floer homology, [widehat{t}(Bcup K)in widehat{HFK}(-Y,Bcup K),] defined in [BVV13] is always nonzero. This generalizes the main results of Etnyre and Vela-Vick in [VV11, EVV10]. As an application, we show that if $K$ is braided about an open book with connected binding, and has fractional Dehn twist coefficient greater than one, then $widehatt(K)e0$. This generalizes a result of Plamenevskaya [PLA15] for classical braids.
