The Moment Every Trader Knows

You're locked in on TradingView. Eyes on the chart. Nothing moving.

Then a candle explodes across the screen out of nowhere.

FOMO hits before logic does. You have two options, and both are bad:

• Chase the move with zero context
• Sit there wondering what the hell just happened

By the time you find the headline, the move is over. You either missed it or you're buying the top.

This is the single most common failure point for retail traders in fast markets, and it has nothing to do with strategy. It's an information gap.

The MRKT Chrome Extension was built to close it.

What Is The MRKT Chrome Extension

The MRKT Chrome Extension is a live news overlay that runs directly inside TradingView.
It streams breaking, market-moving headlines onto your chart in real time, the moment they hit, filtered down to only the news that actually matters for the asset you're watching.

No new tab. No switching to a news terminal. No refreshing a feed and hoping something loads before the candle does. The information appears where your eyes already are: on the chart.

In one sentence: the MRKT Chrome Extension turns TradingView into a news-aware terminal, so every unexplained price spike comes with an explanation attached.

How it works

1. Live headline detection. MRKT's AI monitors breaking news, economic releases, central bank commentary, and geopolitical developments as they happen.
2. Filtering for signal, not noise. You can choose in the extensions to see only the headlines with real market impact, so you're not drowning in irrelevant chatter during a volatile session.
3. Direct overlay on TradingView. The headline appears on your chart in the exact window the move happened.
4. Instant context, not just information. You don't just get the headline. You get why it matters and which assets it's likely to move, so you can decide to act, wait, or stand down, instead of guessing.

Why This Actually Improves Your Trading

It Kills Reactive FOMO Trading

Most bad trades during volatility aren't the result of bad strategy.
They're the result of a trader chasing a candle they don't understand. When you know instantly that gold just ripped because of an Iran ceasefire headline, or that USDJPY dropped because of a BoJ comment, you stop reacting emotionally and start reacting with information.

Confidence replaces panic.

It Closes The Retail-Institutional Information Gap

Institutions don't trade candles.
They trade cause and effect: what the news is, what was priced in, and what wasn't. Retail traders have historically been locked out of that layer, watching price move without knowing why.
A live, filtered news overlay puts that same cause-and-effect visibility directly into the charting platform most traders already live in every day.

It Saves The Seconds That Matter

During high-impact events like NFP, CPI, or a surprise Fed comment, the market moves in the first 30 to 60 seconds.
Traders who are tabbing between TradingView, a broker terminal, and a news site lose that window entirely.
An in-chart overlay means the information and the price action are in the same field of view, at the same time.

It Keeps You In Your Existing Workflow

The extension doesn't ask you to abandon TradingView for a new platform. It layers directly on top of the tool you already use.
That matters, because the biggest reason traders skip fundamental context isn't that they don't value it. It's that checking it interrupts their workflow.

This removes the interruption entirely.

It Protects You From Trading Blind Into Red-Folder Events

A random spike without an explanation is exactly when traders get faked out, entering right before a reversal or right into an already-exhausted move.
Knowing the headline behind the candle in real time helps you tell the difference between a genuine breakout and a knee-jerk overreaction that's about to snap back.

The Economic Data Section: Know What's Coming, Not Just What Happened

The news overlay handles the surprises. But not every move is a surprise.
Plenty of the biggest candles on your chart are scheduled well in advance, NFP, CPI, FOMC, PPI, and traders still get caught off guard because they weren't watching the clock.

The MRKT Chrome Extension includes an economic data section built directly into the same overlay, so you can see what's about to be released without leaving TradingView:

• Upcoming high-impact releases, ranked by expected market impact, so you know which prints actually matter
• Time until release, so you're not caught mid-trade when a red-folder event hits
• Forecast vs. previous data, giving you context on what the market is already pricing in before the number drops

This turns the extension into two layers working together: a forward-looking calendar that tells you what's coming, and a live overlay that tells you what is happening.

Together, they close both ends of the information gap, before the event and during it.

For traders, this changes the pre-session routine entirely. Instead of tabbing to a separate calendar site to check if something's dropping in the next hour, it's already on the chart.
You always know what's on the clock before you're in a position, and you know instantly what moved price the second it does.

Who this is built for

• Day traders reacting to fast intraday volatility around news, data prints, and geopolitical headlines
• Prop firm traders who need to avoid unexplained drawdowns during high-impact sessions
• Technical traders who rely on charts but want the missing fundamental layer without leaving TradingView

The bigger picture

Markets in 2026 move faster than ever.
Geopolitical headlines, central bank pivots, and macro surprises are landing back to back, and the traders who win aren't the ones with the best indicator.

They're the ones who understand what's actually happening the moment it happens.

The MRKT Chrome Extension exists because charts show you what happened.
They don't tell you why. Closing that gap, instantly, inside the platform you already trade on, is the entire point.
