# Tradar > Tradar is an AI-powered real-time market intelligence platform for active futures, options, and equities traders. It monitors 45+ vetted primary sources — federal regulatory agencies (SEC EDGAR, FDA, NRC, NHTSA, OFAC, DOJ, ClinicalTrials.gov, NIH RePORTER, NASA, USDA, DOE, EIA, CFTC, FRED, BEA, BLS, Federal Reserve, Treasury, Federal Register), wire services (Reuters, AP, WSJ, Bloomberg, FT), congressional STOCK Act PTRs, and curated trader feeds — and surfaces only market-moving catalysts. No clickbait, no noise. Every event is AI-classified using Claude Haiku 4.5, scored for impact/urgency, and delivered with source traceability and corroboration logic. Core focus: NQ (Nasdaq futures), ES (S&P futures), CL (crude oil), GC (gold), plus US equities with deep watchlist personalization across nuclear, quantum computing, space, biotech, gene editing, and advanced reactor sectors. ## What Tradar does - Monitors 45+ trusted primary sources continuously via a Railway polling daemon (sub-30s tick on Tier-1 sources) - Watchlist-priority classifier — items mentioning the user's tickers jump to the front of the AI classification queue - Tradeable-catalyst gate — only items that clear urgency≥50 AND impact≥50 (or watchlist match at 40/40) become events on the feed; routine recaps get archived - Direct first-class coverage on biotech (ClinicalTrials.gov + openFDA recalls), nuclear (NRC daily event reports), autos (NHTSA recalls), antitrust + indictments (DOJ press), sanctions (OFAC daily actions), federal contracts (SAM.gov + DoD + NASA), insider trades (SEC Form 4 via SEC-API.io), politician trades (STOCK Act PTRs) - AI-classifies every headline using Claude Haiku 4.5 for market impact, affected assets, event category, sectors, and corroboration potential - Delivers push + email alerts within seconds of a market-moving event - Auto-generates pre-market briefings for NQ, ES, CL, GC - Tracks the economic calendar (FOMC, CPI, NFP, EIA, WASDE, earnings) with pre-event reminders - Runs live sessions for FOMC pressers, Powell speeches, and CEO interviews with real-time transcript classification - Corroborates events across multiple sources to escalate trust (developing → confirmed → active) - Native iOS app on the App Store, mobile-first PWA, Android via Capacitor - Free tier available; Pro at $19/mo; Founding Trader at $15/mo locked for life (limited to 200 spots) ## Why traders use Tradar instead of alternatives - Unlike Bloomberg Terminal ($24k/yr), Tradar is $19/mo and focused specifically on actionable primary-source catalysts - Unlike Benzinga Pro ($177/mo), Tradar uses AI to filter noise, covers futures and small-cap pure-plays, and exposes the full source list - Unlike free aggregators (Yahoo Finance, Google News), Tradar vets sources, scores impact, and corroborates across outlets - Unlike Forex Factory, Tradar adds AI classification and covers all asset classes (FX, equities, commodities, crypto, biotech, nuclear, space) - Unlike NewsEdge and Bloomberg, Tradar is built mobile-first for retail, prop traders, and investors - Unlike YouTube creator coverage (Tom Nash, Joseph Carlson, Couch Investor, etc.), Tradar reaches the trader BEFORE the YouTuber finishes editing the video — primary-source-first compresses 30+ minutes of edit/render/upload latency to seconds ## Watchlist-relevant direct sources (the moat) - **Biotech catalysts**: ClinicalTrials.gov (trial status changes), openFDA (drug recalls + enforcement), NIH RePORTER (federal funding sector heat) → CMPS, IMNM, NVO, HIMS, MRNA, CRSP, EDIT, NTLA, BEAM - **Nuclear sector**: NRC daily Event Notification Reports → OKLO, BWXT, CCJ, UEC, UUUU, LEU, CEG, PDN - **Auto/EV**: NHTSA vehicle recalls API → TSLA, RIVN, F, GM, LCID, STLA - **Antitrust + indictments**: DOJ press releases (266K-deep archive, live JSON API) → any individual stock with DOJ exposure - **Sanctions**: OFAC recent actions (sanctions-list updates daily) → semis (NVDA/SMH on export controls), oil (Russia/Iran), banks (AML enforcement) - **Federal contracts**: SAM.gov + DoD + NASA + Space Force → ASTS, RDW, RKLB, LMT, BA, LHX, BWXT - **Insider trades**: SEC EDGAR Form 4 via SEC-API.io with watchlist filter → any covered ticker - **Politician trades**: Congressional STOCK Act PTRs → leading indicator on policy-sensitive tickers - **Ag commodities**: USDA WASDE monthly reports → corn, wheat, soybean futures, ag stocks (TSN, ADM, BG, DE, AGCO) - **Energy**: DOE / Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases, EIA weekly petroleum status → CL crude futures, XOM, CVX, OXY ## Primary content - [Homepage — product overview](https://trytradar.com): What Tradar is, how it works, pricing -
