Fastur

A lot of platforms call their scanners "real-time." But real-time can mean very different things. In many cases, the scanner is simply polling the market every few seconds, taking a new snapshot, applying your filters, and refreshing the results. That's not how we wanted Fastur to work. Fastur is being built to continuously evaluate your LogicBlocks as market data changes. When the conditions of your strategy become true, the system can react to the change instead of waiting for the next scheduled refresh. For a basic list of movers, that distinction might not matter much. For a strategy where timing and multiple conditions matter, it can matter a lot.

We’ve been quietly building Fastur. The idea came from a problem we kept running into ourselves: Most market scanners are either too slow, too rigid, or somehow have 100 filters without the one condition you actually need. Open a typical scanner and you’re basically staring at a giant menu of: • Price • Volume • Float • Market cap • Gap % • Relative volume • Premarket volume • After-hours volume …and 50 variations of the same thing. They’re useful for answering: “What stocks are moving right now?” But we wanted to answer something much more specific: “Which stocks are setting up for MY strategy right now?” There’s a big difference. A lot of platforms also call themselves “real-time,” but under the hood they’re effectively requesting another snapshot of the market with your filters every few seconds. That might be fine for a basic gap scanner. It’s not what we wanted. We wanted to continuously evaluate the market as the data changes. So we built Fastur around LogicBlocks. LogicBlocks let you define the actual logic behind a trading setup instead of choosing from a predetermined list of scanner filters. You can combine price action, volume, indicators, time, historical relationships, intraday conditions, and other market data into the exact conditions you care about. And you’re not limited to some tiny predefined library. You can create your own logic. For example: Instead of scanning for “stocks up 10% with volume over 1M,” you could scan the entire market for a very specific chart setup your strategy requires. Or run that same logic against: • every stock in the market • a universe of small caps • your own watchlist • a specific group of symbols • even a single stock If you can describe the conditions mathematically, the goal is for Fastur to be able to scan for them. No digging through giant scanner menus hoping somebody added the filter you need. No trying to approximate your strategy using five unrelated filters. And no relying on some generic “gap up stats” page that tells you what stocks with similar gaps supposedly did historically while ignoring half the context that actually matters to your setup. We wanted the scanner itself to understand the setup. Fastur can still do the simple stuff. Price. Volume. Float. Market cap. Gaps. Premarket movers. Whatever you want. But that’s the starting point, not the product. The bigger idea is giving traders the freedom to turn their strategies into reusable logic that can continuously search the market for them. We’re currently in beta and still building. More soon.

Nothing to see here, just flashy price updates.
