5 scrapers running ~10 polls/second against the official Fed, ECB, BoE, BoJ, RBA URLs during the meeting hot window. Detection latency: ~1 second.
Historically ~30 seconds faster than First Squawk and Walter Bloomberg. Verified against 8 FOMC + 6 ECB releases in 2026.
FOMC (Fed), ECB, BoE, BoJ, RBA. 24 rate decisions covered per year plus minutes, dots, press conferences (live TV embedded).
Browser push notification, email (12-hour digest or instant), Telegram bot DM (Pro). Pick one or all three.
Major central bank rate decisions move forex markets 30–80 pips within the first 2 seconds and 50–150 pips within the first 30 seconds. Liquidity providers withdraw quotes; spreads gap; algorithmic traders front-run the headline. If you're 30 seconds late, you're trading the second move, not the first. The first move is where the asymmetric edge is.
We built 5 dedicated scrapers — one per central bank — that share a common framework _cb_run_scraper(...). During the meeting hot window (typically 20 minutes before scheduled release through 20 minutes after), each scraper polls the official statement URL at 100 millisecond intervals. The moment the new statement appears, we parse the rate decision line, classify it (hold/cut/hike + bps), and emit a HIGH-impact news item with 0.5–1.5 second latency from the official wire.
Most premium news terminals (Bloomberg Terminal, Reuters Eikon, dxFeed) rely on Dow Jones Newswires — a $300–$800/month subscription. We don't. Our scrapers hit the official central bank URLs directly, which means our cost is server CPU + bandwidth (essentially zero). We pass that saving through to you: TNT Pro is €40/month, not €800. Our latency is ~1s vs DJN's ~0.5s — close enough that the price difference dominates the decision.
When a sub-second scraper detects a decision, we fan out within 100 milliseconds via three channels: browser push (Service Worker, even when tab is closed), email (instant or 12-hour digest, your choice), and Telegram bot DM (Pro plan — <500ms delivery). Each alert includes the rate level, change in bps vs prior, and a link to the official statement page.
Detection at ~1 second from official URL publication. Fan-out adds ~100ms. Total wall-clock latency: ~1.1 seconds for browser push, ~500ms for Telegram, ~5s for email (mail server queue).
Yes on average — we've verified ~30 seconds head-start over First Squawk and Walter Bloomberg across 8 FOMC and 6 ECB decisions in 2026. Both channels rely on humans typing the headline; we rely on parsing the URL directly.
Reuters and Bloomberg are typically ~0.3–0.5s ahead of us because they have direct wire feeds from central banks. They cost €1500–€2500/month.
FOMC (Fed), ECB, BoE, BoJ, RBA. Coverage of RBNZ, BoC, SNB, and Riksbank is on the 2026 H2 roadmap.
Yes — the alert headline includes the new rate level, the change in bps from prior, and a classification (hold/cut/hike). Example: "Fed holds at 4.50% — 11-1 vote, Bowman dissented for hike".
