Most traders use AI search or X to check trading news.

But there's 2 main problems with this:

1. AI search: News takes time to appear and can confidently state old news. Still good for getting general trend summaries or big events etc

2. X: Fast but each individual post doesnt tie back into whats actually going on so youre manually connecting dots.

So I went and talked to the Financial Juice team and got their breaking news feed built directly into my app!

My app already gives a market summary from all my data sources, and remembers the current state so each breaking news that comes in updates the memory for context when summarising the market environment for you. (although Ive put a filter to only show headlines in the suummary if it's relevant enough to move the current market)

But if you like seeing all the headlines yourself, you can still browse the raw feed on the side which autotags to relevant assets. E.g. on my screenshot you can see theres a headline of China buying $289B in forex. This autotags to AUD as australian economy is strongly correlated with chinese buying power for Australias metal ores etc. (This doesn't shift the bias though, as current AUDUSD is mostly driven by consecutive US print results)

Its free to use here:

My app is in free beta but you can still get breaking news for free anyway as famous X accounts like financial juice or walter bloomberg post a lot. FX street also gives great market summaries too that you can look over for context.

The feedback here has been really useful in the past, so let me know what I'm missing this time. Appreciate it!

Most traders don't read the COT (Report with current insititutional positions) even though its free.

Mainly because:
1. It's confusing
2. Didn't find it relevant as its a delayed release
3. They didn't know it exists

But once you know what to look for, it can be applied in really interesting ways.

Example 1: For Intraday trading, if insitutions bought heavy, theres less fuel left for a fresh breakout.
So if price suddenly pushes past a level right after a lot of buying already happened, it's more likely to fail and snap back than to keep running. So useful for targetting pullbacks.

Example 2: For Swing Trading, if insitutions added to their positions every week then it's a much stronger trend continuation compared to one big move in a week. So its easier to commit to a long position.

Basically what I've done is visualised it as one of the features in my app.

1. I focussed on making it visually easy (compared to other COT charts online)
2. I focussed on explaining the data in a way thats easy to apply in a practical trade.

It's free to use here:

My app is in free beta, but you can still access the COT report on other sites like barchart too

Would love to hear any feedback! Anything you like, don't like, too complicated still etc?

Hey AI Traders, Kim here.

Right now before a trade you check the news. Maybe ask chatgpt or google ai.
Might go on X, or even looking at COT reports if you're diligent (or even prompting that too!)

I built EchelonEdgeAI to make all of that a million times better:

More accurate. I'm currently paying for real data feeds (Financial Modelling Prep) and also adding in free but institutional data feeds (FRED/EIA) to feed my AI. Things like real yields, live pricing, indexes etc.

More convenient. No prompting, no typing a question and hoping you asked it right. Pick your asset or flip the swing toggle. That's it. The answer also doesnt change unless theres new data to debate that (Compared to AI's that keep changing their mind even if you ask the same q twice)

More intelligent. It's not just answering the one thing you thought to ask. It's tracing the kind of chain most people wouldn't think to follow. E.g:
Copper mine disruption → chip production slows → tech stocks take a hit → NAS100 drags with it.
Iran tensions → oil supply risk → USDCAD moves.
That's the stuff sitting three steps away from the obvious headline, connected automatically.

Faster. Live X feeds can be the fastest source of news especially from accounts like Financial Juice or Unusual Whales. (Currently refreshing every 15-30 min while I'm keeping API costs sane in free beta, that'll get much tighter once it's paid) Being upfront: not instant yet, just faster than checking five accounts yourself.

More in the loop. Actual CFTC COT data displayed super cleanly. Where hedge funds and institutions are actually positioned right now. So you dont trade against them.

Then it collapses all of that into one summary.

Free to use right now.

I'm planning to move to paid pricing eventually, though genuinely open to pushing that back if people are getting real value and want more time. If you want to try it, drop a comment and I'll send it over. Would love feedback either way.

Interesting? Good? Bad? Didnt feel much value? Anything you feel would be amazing guys.
