Direct answers about what Truth Radar does, what it costs, and what it deliberately does not claim.

What is Truth Radar?
Truth Radar is a market intelligence service that monitors publicly available posts from the highest-impact accounts on Truth Social, classifies each one for market relevance, affected tickers and expected direction, and delivers matching posts to a trading desk usually inside a minute via Telegram, email, webhook or push.
How fast are the alerts?
Half of all alerts reach you within 38 seconds of the post going public, measured across 111 posts a running listener actually saw arrive. The fastest was 5.8 seconds; the slowest tenth took longer than fifteen minutes, because adaptive polling stands down on accounts that have gone quiet. Every client dashboard shows your own measured detection latency rather than a marketing figure.
How much does Truth Radar cost?
Truth Radar is $22.99 per month while we are onboarding our first users. Truth Social's own Truth API sells a raw, unclassified post stream covering the top accounts on contracts reported by CBS News to run $60,000 to $100,000 per month; Truth Radar sells the classification layer on top of those same public posts. Accounts keep the rate they joined on for as long as they stay subscribed.
How is this different from the official Truth Social API?
The official API delivers raw posts and leaves every judgment to you: whether a post touches a position, which asset it touches, and in which direction. Truth Radar delivers each post already tagged with market relevance, tickers, direction and a confidence score, filtered against your own watchlists.
Does it read images and screenshots?
Yes. Roughly half of the posts on the monitored accounts carry no text at all, only a screenshot of a headline, an article or a chart. Truth Radar reads the attached images and classifies on what they say, rather than skipping them as empty posts.
Is Truth Radar investment advice?
No. Truth Radar is an information and analytics tool. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and we are not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. Classifications are machine-generated and can be incomplete or wrong. All trading decisions remain yours.
Is Truth Radar affiliated with Truth Social?
No. Truth Radar is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Truth Social, Trump Media & Technology Group, or any account it monitors. It analyzes posts that are already public.
How do I get access?
Sign up at truthradar.xyz, add your name and firm, and pay by card. The whole thing is self-serve and takes about a minute; you land in the dashboard as soon as the payment clears. There is no sales call and no waiting list.
Which accounts does Truth Radar monitor?
Truth Radar monitors the highest-impact public accounts on Truth Social, led by @realDonaldTrump. It reads only posts that are already public; it does not access private accounts, direct messages, or anything behind a login.
How do I receive the alerts?
Four ways, and you can use any combination: a Telegram message, an outbound webhook into your own systems, email, and the in-app notification feed in the dashboard. Watchlists can override the account-level channels, so different desks can route to different places.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Cancel from the billing portal in your settings and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. There is no minimum term, no cancellation fee, and no need to email anyone.
What happens if a post has no text?
It is still classified. Media-only posts are downloaded and read as images, and link-only posts are followed to the shared content. Treating those as empty is the most common way a monitoring tool misses the post that actually moved the market.
Who operates Truth Radar?
Truth Radar is built and operated by Brayden Jones, working independently. It is not affiliated with Truth Social or Trump Media & Technology Group, and takes no funding or direction from either.
Do Trump's Truth Social posts actually move the stock market?
Some do and most do not. Of 348 posts classified between 6 July and 24 August 2026, 85 — about one in four — named or clearly implied a specific asset; the rest were campaign talk, media commentary or personal posts with nothing tradeable in them. Separating those two groups quickly is what Truth Radar does, and it does not forecast the size of a move.
How fast do markets react to a Truth Social post?
Usually faster than anyone can read the post and act on it, which is why Truth Radar sells detection speed rather than forecasts. Measured against the first close reachable after publication, the instruments named in a market-relevant post moved an average of 0.5% by the next session and 1.0% by the third. Truth Radar's own direction call was right 54% of the time across 97 observations, which at that sample size is inside the range you would get by guessing, so treat the ticker and the timing as the product and the direction as a hint.
How can I get notified the moment Trump posts about a stock?
Truth Radar sends an alert by Telegram, email, webhook or browser push, filtered to the tickers and keywords on your watchlist, with half of all alerts arriving within 38 seconds of publication. Each alert carries the ticker, the direction the post implies for that specific instrument, and a confidence score, so it can be judged without opening the app.
Which tickers does Trump post about most often?
Crude oil, the US dollar and the S&P 500, in that order. Across 85 market-relevant posts classified between 6 July and 24 August 2026, crude appeared 31 times, the dollar 29 and the S&P 25, followed by the Canadian dollar and the defence primes — Northrop, RTX and Lockheed — which cluster around specific announcements rather than appearing steadily.
Is there an API for Truth Social posts?
Truth Social's own Truth API sells a raw, unclassified post stream on enterprise contracts, and it leaves every judgment to you: whether a post touches a position, which asset it touches, and in which direction. Truth Radar reads the same public posts and adds the layer a desk needs — market relevance, tickers, per-ticker direction and a confidence score — for $22.99 a month.
How many of Trump's posts are actually market-relevant?
About one in five. Of 221 @realDonaldTrump posts classified between 6 July and 24 August 2026, 42 were market-relevant; across all ten monitored accounts the rate is closer to one in four. The remaining four fifths are why an unfiltered feed is unusable on a busy news day.
Can you get Truth Social alerts on Telegram?
Yes. Telegram is one of four delivery channels, alongside email, outbound webhooks and browser push, and several can run at once. Alerts are filtered to your own watchlists, so a post about crude does not reach a desk watching semiconductors.
Which Truth Social accounts matter for markets besides Trump?
The Federal Register account has the highest market-relevant rate of any account monitored — 17 of 38 posts — because it publishes rules and tariff notices before they are reported. @PressSec and @WhiteHouse carry policy announcements, and TankerTrackers moves crude. Truth Radar monitors ten accounts rather than Trump alone.
What happens when a Truth Social post is just a screenshot with no text?
It is read anyway. Just over half of all monitored posts — 177 of 348 — arrive carrying an image, often a screenshot of a headline or a chart, and Truth Radar classifies what the image says rather than skipping the post. A screenshotted Wall Street Journal headline about rates is treated exactly as the same words typed into the post would be.
What is the fastest way to see Truth Social posts as they are published?
Polling the public feed continuously and classifying on arrival, which is what Truth Radar does: half of all alerts land within 38 seconds of publication and the fastest measured was 5.8 seconds. The alternative is refreshing the app by hand, which means finding out whenever you happen to look.
