A modern alternative to Finviz
Finviz has been the default stock screener for two decades. It works — if you enjoy clicking through 30 dropdowns to express what you really want. Tickerbot lets you say it in plain English instead, and pings your phone when the setup actually happens.

Where Tickerbot wins
You describe the setup, we write the query
Finviz gives you a wall of dropdowns and asks you to translate your idea into its filter language. Tickerbot just asks: "what are you looking for?" Then it turns your sentence into a query that runs against 12,000+ tickers every five minutes.
Alerts you actually receive
Finviz can save your screener. It can't tell you when something just matched — not on the free tier, and even on Elite the notifications are email-only. Tickerbot pings your phone the moment a setup fires during market hours.
Cross-asset, not just stocks
Finviz is a stock-only tool. Tickerbot covers 20 forex pairs, 100 cryptocurrencies, gold, oil, natural gas, and 10 economic indicators. You can write alerts that combine all of them — "BTC up 5% overnight while gold is down" — in one sentence.
