// straight from the source

Most news feeds wait for a reporter. We read the original.

A Fed statement, a jobs report or an executive order is posted on an official site first. News apps wait for a newswire to rewrite it, then repost the rewrite. Headline Desk reads the official pages directly and alerts you from the source itself, tagged with where it came from.

// 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, straight to your phone

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

Straight from the source

Alerts come straight from the Fed, BLS, BEA, SEC filings and the White House, tagged with the official site, without waiting on a news outlet.

Ask the desk

"Why is NQ down?" Ask in plain English and get an answer built from live headlines, prices and the calendar, with the headlines it used.

Real-or-fake check

Every headline is marked official, confirmed, single source or unverified. If a story gets denied later, you get a walk-back alert.

Prop Firm Guard

Pick your firm and get warned before its news lockout windows on your symbols, then told when you're clear to trade.

Focus mode

In a trade? Only high-conviction news on that symbol gets through. Everything else waits until you're done.

Release history

Before CPI, NFP or FOMC, see how markets closed after the last 12 prints, split by above, in line and below forecast.

Follow a story

Tariffs, the Fed, a conflict: follow the stories that matter to you and get every new development as it breaks.

Morning brief

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

Every call, checked

Each alert shows what price did 15 minutes and an hour later, and the morning bias is scored in public every day.
