Platform Features

Everything you need to detect market anomalies.

You already have an edge. Whether you trade futures, commodities, options, or currencies, your advantage is likely in direction, volatility, or both. The real challenge is timing.

Major catalysts like WASDE reports, CPI, and central bank decisions create turning points. When price fails to react the way it "should," that's a News Failure. NewsFailures identifies these moments immediately, giving you a clear entry signal to apply your edge with precision.
