Long-time lurker here. I want to share something I've been working on and get honest feedback from traders who actually know what they're doing.
The problem that started this:
Like a lot of you, I was cobbling together data from multiple sources just to make a single trade decision. TradingView for charts, unusual whales or similar for options flow, Finviz for screening then separate tabs for insider data, congressional trades, dark pool prints, 13F filings... you get the idea. Hundreds a month and still alt-tabbing between 5 browser tabs.
The other thing that always frustrated me, most platforms either give you surface-level data for free, or lock literally everything behind a paywall before you can even evaluate if it's useful. You end up paying for a subscription just to find out it doesn't actually help your workflow.
Here is what I built:
It's called Stocknear. The core idea is simple: put everything a trader actually needs in one place without charging hedge fund prices for it.
Let me list what's actually in it and I want to be specific because vague feature lists are useless:
Options flow + unusual activity tracking: real-time institutional order flow, filterable by ticker, sentiment, size. You can see what the big players are positioning on right now, not yesterday.
Full options analytics: chain with Greeks, GEX/DEX exposure by strike, max pain, IV rank, expected move, hottest contracts. If you're trading options on RS/RW setups from the wiki, this stuff matters.
Dark pool data: Actual dark pool prints with volume, price levels, and historical tracking per ticker.
Congressional + insider trading feeds: Every disclosed congressional trade and insider transaction, searchable by politician or ticker. You can literally see what individual members of Congress are buying before it hits the news cycle.
13F hedge fund tracking: see what Bridgewater, Citadel, Berkshire, etc. are holding and how their positions changed quarter over quarter.
Stock screener with 100+ filters: not just price and volume. You can screen by options activity, Greeks, short interest, FTD data, valuation ratios, cash flow metrics, analyst estimates. You can save strategies and reuse them.
AI analysis agents: this one's a bit different. Instead of generic "AI stock picks," I built agents modeled after specific investing frameworks. There's a Buffett agent (value/moat analysis), a Burry agent (contrarian/deep value), a Munger agent (mental models), an Ackman agent (activist catalysts), and others. You ask them about a stock, they analyze it through that specific lens. It's not a crystal ball, but it's a useful second opinion when you're building a thesis.
Charting with options overlay: pro charts with 50+ indicators, and you can overlay options flow and earnings events directly on the price chart.
All the "where do I find this" stuff: earnings calendar, dividends calendar, IPO calendar, FDA catalyst calendar, economic events, market heatmaps, sector breakdowns, most shorted stocks, FTD data, borrowed shares data, retail vs institutional volume.
Pricing (because I know you're going to ask):
Most of the platform is free. Not "free trial" free, actually free. Screener, fundamentals, financials, insider data, congressional trades, hedge fund data, charts, news, market data. All of it. The paid tiers ($10-30/mo range) unlock things like real-time options flow, unlimited AI credits, unlimited watchlists/portfolios, and remove ads. That's it. No $200/month "premium" tier.
I'm actively developing this and I'm a one-person operation, so I can actually implement feedback quickly without it going into some corporate backlog and dying.
Happy to answer any questions about the data, methodology, or anything else. And if you think this is garbage, tell me that too. I'd rather know :D.
