Get pinged in English the moment a 5%-rule filing or DART event hits a stock you care about.
We watch your KRX tickers in Korean and ping you in English when something material moves — foreign-holder 5%-rule disclosures, Korean activist filings, major DART events. KRX itself, ASIFMA, Wellington, Aberdeen, and Matthews Asia are all on record that the English flow off Korean primary sources is structurally inadequate. Bloomberg charges $24K/yr and still misses the front page of 전자신문. We translate, classify, and route the same data into your Discord / Telegram / inbox.
🚧 Beta — queries + hosted translation are live today; watchlist polling and alert dispatch ship Q3 2026. Join the waitlist to lock in the launch rate.
Foreign retail just got direct access to KRX
- 2025-12: IRC (Investor Registration Certificate) abolished — foreign account openings accelerated 3–4×.
- 2026-04 (last week): Hana Securities × Futu Securities (3.3M HK fintech retail) launched Korean stock trading.
- 2026-05-04 (yesterday): Samsung Securities × Interactive Brokers (4.6M global retail) pilot launched. Same day: foreigners net-bought a record 3.9 trillion KRW (~$2.7B) on KOSPI+NXT.

Why people are paying attention to KRX
- English IR gap is structural. KRX itself, ASIFMA, Wellington, Aberdeen, Matthews Asia all on record: Korean disclosure flow into English is structurally inadequate. We are anchored on this gap.
- Real-time on-chain-style disclosures. DART publishes activist 5% filings, insider trades, and major decisions in hours. Closer to a blockchain explorer than to quarterly 10-Qs.
- MSCI Developed Market reclassification path. Korea sits on the watchlist. Foreign capital inflow expected if upgraded. The mid-curve window opens before the headline trade.
- K-themes are global themes. HBM, EV batteries, K-defense, K-biotech, K-content, shipbuilding — same trades you already follow on US tape, with different microstructure and faster filings.
- Crypto-grade volatility, equity-grade infra. KOSPI / KOSDAQ small-mid caps move 10–30% on a single filing. T+2 settlement, low fees, retail-accessible.

Queries + hosted translation cache are live today. Watchlist polling, alert dispatch, seat enforcement, and per-tier retention windows ship Q3 2026. Today the only runtime-enforced difference between tiers is the monthly query cap (2K / 15K / 100K). Watchlist counts, alert-channel limits, seat caps, and archive retention are paper limits until the polling/dispatch loop lands. Join the waitlist and you keep the launch rate — no auto-charge until the workflow ships.

Annual billing −20% at launch. Cloud customers still install the local MCP (one `pip install` + 4-line Claude Desktop config); the Cloudflare Worker holds our OpenAI key and validates your license, so no OpenAI key is needed on your side. Enterprise / SLA: contact us.
Run it yourself (OSS)
Source is AGPL-3.0. Self-hosters can run the MCP server locally with their own DART and OpenAI keys — community support only, no hosted archive, no shared translation cache, no alerts. This path is for hackers and max-privacy users; the paid Cloud tiers above are what designed to ship you the watchlist-to-alert workflow once polling/dispatch lands (Q3 2026).
What runs under the hood
When you connect your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client) to the local MCP (Cloud customers still `pip install` locally — only translation calls hit our Worker), these tools are what your agent calls against the cached, classified Korean data layer. You don't need to know they exist to get the alert in your Discord once dispatch ships — but if you're building agent workflows on top, here's the surface.
