    ROT is a financial intelligence platform I built solo in Python. It reads Reddit and 15+ sources in real-time, scores signals with AI, and outputs structured trade ideas.

    Week one results:

    - $9.9B Masimo acquisition — caught from a Sunday night Reddit post. +34% - $4.2B ZIM buyout — flagged over a holiday weekend. +25% - PayPal partnership — detected same day. +137% - Biotech catalyst — picked up 3 days early from WSB. +39%

    235% combined moves. All public information. The system just reads faster than you.

    Runs on $5/mo. 150 users in 29 countries.

        "If your data is so good why aren't you trading on it" is a question you could ask Bloomberg, RavenPack, Dataminr, or any financial data company that's ever existed. Bloomberg makes $12B/year selling the terminal, not trading on it.

        Selling the pickaxes is a better business than mining.

          Not sure why the defensiveness.

          I’m truly astounded that you were able to predict with such confidence these moves that surely you’ve made lots of money off it in addition to selling a $5 subscription to a few people.

          You could probably raise the price to $500, no?
