AlphaFlash

Need To Know News LLC has developed and tested new technology that allows us to deliver economic releases and data to clients consistently faster than any service currently available.  Since August 2007 we have officially made our service available to sophisticated hedge funds and financial institutions. 

In the world of algorithmic trading, speed and accuracy are top priorities.  NTKN is a Washington, D.C. based fully accredited news agency like Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg.  AlphaFlash is the way to get key U.S. domestic and international economic releases and data directly into your trading algorithm. 

Unlike our competitors, NTKN is not a traditional news service burdened by an aging, inefficient infrastructure with thousands of general financial news subscribers.  AlphaFlash's infrastructure and architecture were designed by technologists from the world of electronic trading specifically for a select group of sophisticated algorithmic clients.


How it Works

Our reporters, using our custom-built applications, send the data from press rooms the very first instant it is allowed. The data flows through our dedicated network lines into our core systems and travels directly to you. We encourage customers to utilize our co location facilities and cross-connect to NTKN for the fastest possible data delivery.

  • Consistently faster and more economical than our competitors
  • Sent directly by our staff from government embargoed newsrooms
  • Designed for direct integration into trading algorithms
  • Specializing in sophisticated trading application integration

Microseconds matter.
