How fast is the live feed?
Pro Business shows incidents as our system processes them and refreshes while the map is open. Speed depends on when outlets publish and how long processing takes, so it varies by event. The free preview shows the same incidents 36 hours later.
Does it track positive events too?
Yes. The tracker covers new infrastructure, facility, and industrial openings; reopened routes and restored services; resource and scientific discoveries; and ceasefires, agreements, and investments. You can choose positive, negative, or all events.
Does a positive event mean a linked stock will rise?
No. Positive describes the world event, such as a reopening or a new facility. A linked stock or commodity can still have a likely tailwind, a likely headwind, or a mixed effect. The labels describe possible relationships, not price predictions.
How are events linked to stocks?
Each event is matched to the companies and commodities with exposure to that place and event type. That includes disruptive events such as refinery fires and positive developments such as new facilities, restored services, or resource discoveries. Each link is tagged as a likely tailwind, a likely headwind, or a mixed effect.
Do tagged stocks always move the way the tag says?
No. A tag shows what an event may affect, not what the price will do. Other news, earnings, and the wider market also move prices. The Kyiv example on this page shows a case where the tagged names fell.
Is this financial advice?
No. Situation & Market Intel is for research and awareness only. It is not investment, trading, or financial advice. Coverage is automated, so incidents can be missed, late, or placed wrong. Check other sources before you trade.
What does Pro Business cost?
Eligible first-time subscribers can start with a free 7-day Pro Business trial, then $100 a month. It includes the live incident feed, longer time windows, Feed MCP, and every other Pro Business feature in Scribble Maps.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Start a free 7-day Pro Business trial to try the live feed on your first subscription. Checkout confirms your eligibility. You can also open the free preview with no sign-up to explore the map, ticker, and incident cards, delayed by 36 hours.
Which markets does it cover?
The ticker covers US and European listed companies plus commodity groups such as crude oil, refined fuels, grains, fertilizer, metals, and shipping. Events come from every region with news coverage, so disruptions and positive developments abroad can show up next to US-listed names.
Can I connect it to my own tools or an AI assistant?
Yes. With Pro Business, Feed MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your own tools to the live feed. You can search and filter incidents and check for new ones. Each account has one connection, and polling is limited per account.
