You trade SEC filing catalysts (8-K, Form 4, S-3) and want scored, pre-market picks with squeeze signals, dark pool data, and insider clustering — all in one feed. Best for gap traders, momentum traders, and quants who want structured data before 4 AM ET.
You need quick fundamental and technical screening. Great for finding stocks by P/E, market cap, or technical patterns. Doesn't analyze SEC filings or score catalysts.
You need best-in-class charting with Pine Script backtesting. Excellent for technical analysis. No SEC filing parsing or catalyst scoring built in.
You want real-time news and press releases with a squawk box. Strong for intraday news-driven trading. SEC filing coverage is news-headline based, not structured data.
