Data sources & methodology
WOWS does not operate an exchange or a pricing desk. It connects to third-party market and content providers, validates and normalizes their responses, and labels missing or stale data instead of inventing a replacement. This page explains where each part of the site gets its data, how current it is, and what it should not be used for.

Crypto market engine
The crypto trading views connect to public market-data feeds from nine venues: Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Crypto.com, Bitvavo and Upbit. WOWS normalizes their ticker, trade and order-book messages into one internal model while preserving the venue and quote currency. A EUR, KRW or BTC-quoted market is converted to USD only when a current observed FX pair is available; otherwise it is excluded from cross-venue best-price ranking. Venue availability can vary by pair, region and upstream maintenance, and the interface reports those degraded states rather than presenting an unavailable venue as live.
Market Pulse, movers and trends
Market Pulse aggregates public ticker snapshots from Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget and Kraken. Those five server-side adapters power the unique-asset count, exchange volume, breadth and mover rankings; they are a deliberately narrower dataset than the nine venues available in the live trading panels. The browser requests a fresh Pulse snapshot every 30 seconds, and the API may serve a recently successful snapshot briefly while an upstream venue recovers.
Trend lines and technical gauges use real OHLCV candles from those exchanges, with venue and stablecoin-pair fallback when the selected market has no usable history. The source actually used is returned with the series. WOWS does not generate a synthetic sparkline from the current price. CoinGecko supplies market-cap, supply, rank and asset metadata for the wider screener; cached exchange data replaces price and volume fields where the two datasets overlap.
Stocks and charting
Stock quotes, historical bars and profiles come from Finnhub and Yahoo Finance and can be delayed or cached. Licensed TradingView Advanced Charts run on WOWS's own UDF datafeed; the smaller public TradingView overview widgets use TradingView's feed and update on TradingView's schedule. These paths have different freshness guarantees and should not be read as a consolidated exchange tape.
News
Crypto news combines Finnhub with public feeds from Cointelegraph, Decrypt, CoinDesk, Blockworks and Ad Hoc News. Broad-market feeds are filtered for crypto relevance before ingestion. Articles are normalized, de-duplicated, clustered and tagged by mentioned assets. Publisher names, timestamps and links remain attached so a headline can be checked at its source.
Company profiles & fundamentals
Company descriptions, sector classification, market capitalisation, P/E, EPS and dividend yield come from Finnhub's company-profile and metrics endpoints. These are updated on Finnhub's own schedule, not WOWS's, and can be stale for recently listed, delisted, or thinly covered symbols — a gap this site does not silently paper over. Where a figure is missing, the page shows nothing for it rather than a fabricated or interpolated value.
Schema
Schema is a large language model with your watchlist and recent headlines added as context. It can misread a number, misattribute a headline, or state something plausible-sounding and wrong with total confidence — that is a known property of the underlying technology, not a bug specific to this implementation. Treat its output as a starting point for your own research, never as a source of fact on its own.
What none of this is
Live does not mean guaranteed, complete or suitable for routing a real order. Network delay, exchange maintenance, regional restrictions and thin markets can all make a quote stale or unavailable. Nothing on WOWS should be used to time an execution in a real, non-simulated account.
Nothing on WOWS is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything. The full terms of that are on the risk disclaimer. Every trade placed through WOWS uses a simulated account funded with virtual currency — see how paper trading works for what that does and does not mean.
