Stock trading is hard.

In one minute, you wake up at 8:04am and see that your entire portfolio is green. You take a quick nap and see that stocks shitted themselves.

Every. Last. One of them.

Now you’re scouring the web, trying to figure out what the hell happened. After 20 minutes, you find that Trump threatened Canada with an invasion or inflation rose 3.5% in the last month. You know… the usual.

Or, instead of scouring the web for ages, why don’t you read this 3 minute guide on staying up-to-date on your favorite stocks?

How to stay up to date in a fast moving market?

Using large language models, we can now stay up-to-date on our favorite stocks. This includes:

The broader market as a whole
Individual stocks
Our entire watchlist
Specific industries

Doing so is simple, fast, and free using NexusTrade, a tool for helping retail investors perform comprehensive financial analysis.

While I’ve written hundreds of articles describing how NexusTrade can help us perform financial analysis and deploy automated trading strategies, this article will focus on how its AI toolkit can help us stay in-the-loop in the stock market.

For an article describing how you can use NexusTrade to become a savvy, data-driven investor, and profitable investor, check out this article.

Staying in the loop on the broader market

To stay in the loop on the broader market, go to NexusTrade’s chat and type the following:

what are some major things happening in the market this week?

After less than 15 seconds, it will respond with the following:

A very nice, organized list of things happening in the news! If we scroll down, we’ll even get a nice summary.

This helps me stay informed on my portfolio. Maybe because of this, I might refrain from buying anything today. How useful!

But, while a list of the entire market is useful, what I probably care more about is my watchlist.

We can do that just as easily.

Staying in the loop on my favorite stocks

Let’s see how easy it is to stay in the loop on our favorite stocks.

1. Click the 3 dots to the left of the message input box

2. Click “Upload Attachment”

3. Click “Watchlists” at the top of the screen and then Upload

Then, all we have to do is ask the AI the following:

What’s in the news for my watchlist?
For a current brief, open Aurora, attach the watchlist and ask: “What is in the news for this watchlist this week? For each item, show the ticker, publication date, source link and what the source actually reports. Separate the reported event from any explanation of the price move. If no recent source is available, say so.” Check those dates before treating the summary as current.

After a few seconds, it will respond with a detailed list, including a summary at the bottom of the message.

We could expand this to ask about individual stocks or take more general market news and create a watchlist from it.

Insane!

Staying in the loop on specific sectors

Finally, we can use this tool to stay up-to-date with sectors and industries that we care most about.

For example, as an AI fanatic, I would love to see some recent news about AI. Maybe I can use this to find a new stock for my watchlist!

Just like before, it’s as easy as:

what’s in the news for AI this week?

This works with other sectors too, including semiconductors, airlines, electric vehicles, biotechnology, and more! For the first time ever, the most relevant news to YOU is available within seconds.

All thanks to AI!

Concluding Thoughts

The task demonstrated here is gathering news about a market, watchlist or sector in one conversation. The screenshots show the February 2025 interface and responses. A news brief gives you topics to investigate; selecting a stock still requires checking the underlying business, valuation and portfolio fit.

The image below records the length of this article. The response times described above were observations from the February 2025 examples; they are separate from the time needed to check the sources.

The length of this article – 2 minutes and 15 seconds

Using AI, you can find news related to your favorite stocks, specific industries, or even the broader market within seconds. No more scouring Google with 10 tabs open.
