// why this exists

Built by a futures trader.

I trade Nasdaq and gold futures. Too many times I found out about a headline after the candle had already moved: a surprise print, a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, a Fed comment nobody saw coming. Forex Factory told me when things were scheduled, but not what just happened or what it meant for my position.

So I built the tool I wanted: it watches the news for the exact symbols I trade, ignores everything that can't move them, and buzzes my phone with a read on which way it could go. I use it every trading day, and when the AI gets a call wrong, it gets fixed in public.

// the free plan

Everything you need to trade the news. $0.

⚡
Real-time headlines filtered to your symbols

Real-time squawk services usually charge $20+/month.

🗓
Phone alert before every big release (CPI, NFP, FOMC)

Most calendars only email you, or make you keep checking.

☀
A market brief every morning at your time

What happened overnight, which way the news leans, what's on today.

🎯
Key levels on every symbol

Previous day high/low, overnight range, weekly open. Plain English.

📊
10 symbols across futures, stocks, crypto and forex

NQ, ES, gold, oil, BTC, EUR/USD, your stocks. Your pick.

🚫
No ads, no card, no trial that runs out

The free plan isn't a trial. It doesn't expire.

Why is it free? I built this for my own trading, and one more person using it costs almost nothing. Paid plans are there for people who want more symbols and unlimited alerts. Free users are the whole point: you tell me what's missing, and it gets built.

How it works

⌖ News sniper → your phone

Headlines are filtered to your symbols, called bullish or bearish with a confidence %, and pushed to your phone within seconds.

☀ Morning brief

One notification at the time you choose: today's bias for each of your markets and the releases to watch.

📈 Why is it moving?

When one of your symbols moves sharply, you get pinged with the headline behind it, or a note that there's no news, so it's likely flow.

🗓 Alerts before releases

A heads-up minutes before NFP, CPI, FOMC and every high-impact event on your currencies. No more refreshing the calendar.
