Get institutional grade news at retail prices.

The four major newswires in one feed, each release scored the instant it breaks. A fraction of terminal cost, from $99.

The desk tool

Every wire, scored the instant it breaks.

Most desks are reading news that has been sitting in someone else's inbox for three minutes. This is the other side of that, and it is not a website: a native application on your machine, all four wires in one stream, a direction and a magnitude on each line before you have finished the headline.

An 8.5% stake makes Markiplier GoPro’s largest individual holder

A Schedule 13G dated 20 August put Mark Fischbach — the YouTuber who has gone by Markiplier for the better part of two decades — on the register with 8.5% of GoPro, roughly $9.3 million at the time of filing, and made him the largest individual holder of a company whose cameras he has been using for years.

He is not a fund and he is not an activist. By his own account he looked at where the stock was trading and decided the market had the business wrong, then spent months quietly building the position and learning the disclosure rules that came with it.

The company he bought into is in trouble. GoPro is down sharply over the past year and worse over five, said in May that it was weighing strategic alternatives, and has since put going-concern language in its own filings. None of that deterred him; he kept adding.

Fischbach frames the investment as part of a wider interest in lowering the cost of making films. He has also backed Strada, which builds tooling for moving large footage between collaborators.

He has some standing to make the argument. His self-distributed feature Iron Lung took roughly $51 million against a $3 million budget this year, released without a studio behind it.

GoPro cameras shot the behind-the-scenes footage on that film, though he did not think they were good enough for the film itself. A teaser for a new interchangeable-lens body is what changed his mind about the hardware — and, it seems, about the company.

The market took the filing at face value. GPRO closed 31 August up 46% on 220 million shares, and kept going after the bell.

GPRO headline and tape: real Nasdaq trading, 31 August 2026, replayed from five-minute closes. The story beside it is our own summary of publicly reported facts, not a reproduction of any outlet’s article. The other releases in the feed are simulated and their issuers fictional. Every score shown is illustrative of the model’s output, not a record of it.

Why this matters

Why press releases move markets.

Most traders never realise the news they are trading on has been sitting in someone else's inbox for three minutes. By the time Yahoo, Google or your broker shows it, the move is already over. Here is the same headline reaching four audiences.

Each bar is the gain still ahead of you at the moment the news lands on your screen, measured from your entry to the $5.20 high. Same figures as the table above.

PR wires carry ninety percent of the move. Everything downstream gets the scraps.

Desks that do this properly pay five figures a month for wire-speed news. pr.live puts the same four wires, at the same instant, in front of a retail trader for $99.

The mechanism

A release crosses one wire, and you don’t pick which.

The company chooses. Whatever it pays for is the only place the release appears at the moment it breaks — whole, but in that wire’s own format, with its own metadata and its own way of naming the issuer. Watch three of the four and you simply miss whatever crossed the fourth. pr.live takes all four, normalises them into one stream, and scores each release as it lands, while the first sentence is still being read elsewhere.

Median wire-to-screen across the last 30 days. Not a guarantee: the median moves with the source, your connection and your hardware, and a median is not a worst case.

Latency

Time is not the same everywhere.

Close enough to something heavy, an hour costs seven years, and nobody living through it feels late. Distance from the wire works the same way: everyone reading three minutes behind believes they are current.

0µs

That is the unit the feed thinks in. A blink takes about 350,000 µs. In the time your eyelid closes and opens, a release can cross the wire, be parsed, be scored, and be sitting on your screen. The desks paying six figures a year for the privilege got it at the same moment you did.

Roadmap

The feed is the floor.

The whole product is in beta, so here is the honest split: what the model and the feed already do, what the API already lets you do yourself, and what we simply have not built.

Direction and magnitude

Beta

Our own model, trained for this job rather than wrapped around a general-purpose one. Every release comes out with a direction and a size, not a vibe.

The four wires

Beta

PR Newswire, Business Wire, GlobeNewswire and ACCESSWIRE, assembled into a single stream and scored on arrival.

WebSocket and HTTP API

Beta

Everything the terminal sees, your systems see, at the same moment. Included in the price, not a tier above it.

Your own model

Yours to build

The API hands you the release itself, so re-scoring the stream with a model you chose is something you can do today. What we have not built is a place inside the app to do it.

Your own broker

Yours to build

Same answer, same reason. The stream is yours the moment it reaches you, so routing it into a broker is your decision and your code. We do not place orders for you.

Visual automation, with hard limits

Not shipped

An n8n-style builder: drop a trigger on a release, wire it to an action, no code in between — shipping with position caps, daily trade caps, manual confirm and a kill switch, because limits are worth nothing without the thing they limit and the thing is worth nothing without them. It is being built. It is not here, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Price

A terminal costs more than a car.

This costs less than a dinner. The gap between those two numbers is the entire reason pr.live exists.

You see it first. The call is still yours.

A release reaches you about 170 ms after it crosses, with a direction and a magnitude already attached. That is the whole product: the score is an input to your decision, not a replacement for it, and you can always pass. Five releases cross below and you get five seconds on each. Beside your result sit the three you are actually competing with — the desk that saw it three minutes late, the one that was every bit as fast and read it wrong, and an algorithm running on the same feed you have — quick, often right, and never able to sit one out.

Five releases. You call each one.
