How fast do you want bullion news?
Latency is the single biggest determinant of trading edge. Gold can move $20–50/oz in under 60 seconds on a Fed decision, CPI surprise, or war headline. The same architecture you're seeing in the demo scales seamlessly across three tiers — only the data sources and infrastructure change.

Why latency matters for bullion
$20 – 50/oz
Typical gold move in the first 60 seconds after a Fed rate decision.
3 – 8 min
How long mainstream RSS / news sites take to publish a Fed announcement after the wire.
~30 sec
How fast @Reuters / @FirstSquawk tweet the same news after the wire.
Free-tier (5–15 min latency) means the news is on retail dashboards before yours. Professional-tier (30–90 sec) puts you ahead of retail and roughly tied with active traders. Institutional (milliseconds) puts you in the same bucket as proprietary desks.
Same architecture across all tiers
Upgrading from MVP → Professional → Institutional swaps the data sources and the infrastructure — not the dashboard, the AI classifier, or the alert system. You can start with the free tier today and bolt on paid feeds as you validate the system on your trading flow.
