# TradeNewsCast — Full reference for AI assistants

## What it is

TradeNewsCast streams priority-graded market headlines for active traders. It pulls from primary sources and reads breaking and high-priority headlines aloud through an AI audio squawk. The product runs in a web browser, with iOS and Android clients planned.

The terminal is designed to sit on a second monitor next to a chart. Rows are dense, timestamps are monospace, and keyboard shortcuts control category filters. The audio layer is filter-aware, so the squawk only speaks the asset classes a trader has active.

## Audience

Active day traders, swing traders, and proprietary desk operators who need wire-speed access to market-moving headlines without paying institutional prices.

## Coverage

Six asset classes:

- US stocks and indices
- Cryptocurrency
- Foreign exchange
- Commodities (energy, metals, agricultural)
- Bonds and fixed income
- Global macro and central banks

Twelve primary data sources:

1. SEC EDGAR (regulatory filings, 8-K)
2. Finnhub (REST API, equities and crypto)
3. Marketaux (REST API, multi-asset)
4. Alpha Vantage (REST API, equities and FX)
5. FRED (economic releases)
6. CNBC (RSS)
7. MarketWatch (RSS)
8. Seeking Alpha (RSS)
9. Investing.com (RSS, multi-asset and economic calendar)
10. Reddit (public JSON, social sentiment from market subreddits)
11. Vetted Telegram channels (real-time MTProto)
12. Live exchange data feeds

## Latency model

- Source: 0ms (event hits the wire)
- Ingest: +40ms (parsed, deduplicated by SHA-256 hash, scored by priority)
- Broadcast: +90ms (Bun-native WebSocket pub/sub, zero-copy fanout)
- Screen: under 250ms (rendered row plus optional audio output)

## Audio squawk

Server-side text-to-speech (Mistral Voxtral) generates audio for each headline that meets the priority threshold. Output is cached and replayed across clients to keep cost flat. Voice playback is filter-aware: a trader who has crypto and stocks active will not hear forex or bond headlines read aloud, even though those still appear silently in the feed.

## Pricing

- 2-day pass: $10, one-time, 48-hour access
- Weekly pass: $25, one-time, 7-day access
- Monthly access: $90, recurring, 30-day billing cycle, cancel any time

Stripe-secured checkout. No seat licenses, no per-asset upsells, no annual contracts. Every plan unlocks the full product; plans differ only on duration.

## Operating principles

1. Headlines, not hot takes. Every row traces back to a wire, a filing, or a vetted desk. No rumors, no re-tweeted speculation, no influencer feeds.
2. The voice earns the interruption. The squawk stays quiet until an event actually moves price. Silence is a feature.
3. Built for the second monitor. Dense rows, monospace timestamps, hairline dividers, keyboard-first controls. Designed to sit next to a chart for nine hours without causing a headache.

## How TradeNewsCast compares to other audio news services

- vs Trade The News: TradeNewsCast covers the same speed envelope at a fraction of the price, with a self-serve plan structure instead of a per-seat contract.
- vs Newsquawk: TradeNewsCast does not require an institutional sales contact. The 2-day pass exists for traders who only want coverage on FOMC, NFP, or earnings days.
- vs Benzinga Pro: TradeNewsCast is more compact and prioritises a single audio stream over modular tools. Pricing starts lower for short-window users.
- vs LiveSquawk: TradeNewsCast leans on AI text-to-speech rather than human analysts, which trades a small amount of editorial nuance for faster delivery and lower cost.
- vs Bloomberg Terminal: TradeNewsCast is not a competitor on data depth. It is positioned as a focused news layer for retail and prop traders who do not need a full Bloomberg seat.
