Pre-market news, the news that drops before the NSE bell rings at 9:15 AM IST, can move a stock by 3 to 5 percent before most people even open their trading app. Missing it is costly. Catching it early is everything.
Here is how someone like Imran, an independent stock trader in Delhi, handles this problem without spending his mornings copy-pasting headlines from five different websites.
Imran's Morning Problem
Imran tracks about 12 to 15 stocks at any given time. Some are large-cap names like Reliance and HDFC Bank. Some are mid-cap picks he is watching closely. Every morning, before the market opens, he needs to know:
- Did any company on his list release quarterly results overnight?
- Is there any FII (foreign investor) activity news that could swing the index?
- Any global cue, like a US Fed statement or crude oil price jump, that hits his energy stocks?
- Any corporate action, a bonus, a split, a buyback, that he might miss?
Before, Imran would open Moneycontrol, then Economic Times Markets, then check X (formerly Twitter) for breaking news, then glance at Zee Business. That is 30 to 40 minutes every single morning, before he has even had chai.
Some days he would miss something. On one morning he did not notice a promoter stake sale announcement for a stock on his list. The stock dropped sharply at open. That is the kind of miss that stings.
The Three Steps That Changed His Morning
A friend told him about AIDular, an AI research assistant at aidular.com that searches the web on a schedule and emails you a clean, sourced report. No app to download. Works on any phone or laptop.
Here is what Imran did:
Step 1: Sign up free. No credit card needed. Takes about two minutes.
Step 2: Type what to track, in plain English. Imran typed something like this:
"Give me pre-market news for these stocks: Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, Tata Motors, Infosys, and ONGC. Include any results, FII/DII data, global cues like US markets and crude oil prices, and any corporate actions. Keep it short and to the point."
That is it. Plain English. No coding, no RSS feeds, no spreadsheets.
Step 3: Pick daily delivery. Imran set it to daily, and chose a time so the report arrives in his inbox around 8:30 AM IST, well before the market opens.
What Lands in His Inbox
Every morning, before his first cup of chai, Imran gets a clean email. It covers the key points for each stock he is watching. It links to the actual sources, so he can click through if he needs more detail. No clutter. No ads. No ten-paragraph articles to skim.
On days like Union Budget day or when the RBI announces a policy rate decision, the report naturally picks up that context too, because those events directly move the stocks he tracks.
He can also add or remove stocks any time by updating his prompt. Cancel anytime, no questions asked.
Why This Angle Works
There are plenty of finance apps and news aggregators out there. But most of them give you all the news, and you have to filter. AIDular flips that. You tell it exactly what you care about, and it filters for you.
For a trader who has a specific watchlist, that difference is real. Fewer tabs. Less noise. More time to actually think about the trade.
