News Trader
Q4 2026Trade on sentiment, not speculation
Aggregate financial news from multiple sources, score sentiment with local or cloud LLMs, generate time-weighted trading signals, and execute with multi-layered risk management — all self-hosted.
The Problem
News-driven trading requires stitching together 5+ tools
Fragmented news sources
Traders monitor Yahoo Finance, CNBC, Bloomberg, and Twitter separately. No single feed with deduplication, credibility weighting, or sentiment scoring.
Manual sentiment reading
Reading every headline and guessing its market impact is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to scale across dozens of stocks and sectors.
Risk management is afterthought
Most sentiment tools output signals without position sizing, stop-losses, or drawdown limits. Traders manage risk manually in spreadsheets — if at all.
