A hands-on walkthrough of every feature — from installing the app on Windows, Mac, or iPhone to tuning FlowBar AI, reading the MoBot alert feed and Breaking News panel, the Paper Trader Leaderboard, the 247 Desk community feed, and logging your first profitable trade.
From zero to a live FlowBar and your first paper trade in under five minutes.
SPY, NVDA, or BTC. Repeat for 5-10 symbols you care about.BTC to your watchlist, click it, and watch the FlowBar in real time. You'll see exactly why this tool exists within 30 seconds.
Every panel, every nav item, every button — a guided tour of the 247Pro interface.
247Pro is organized into three zones. The left sidebar is your top-level navigation. The main panel is where you work. The right side (on Charts) holds the Order Book and Pressure Gauge. Hover any nav item and it tells you what it does.
The top bar (above the main panel) shows the current ticker, brand pills, the MoBot alert count indicator, and any active Pro Alert bubbles broadcast by the operator. The bottom of the sidebar has a circular avatar button — click it to open your profile, manage active sessions, download your data, change your password, or sign out.
Watchlist — add tickers, folders, drag-to-reorderThe sidebar watchlist is the entry point to everything. Here's how to organize it like a pro.
At the bottom of the watchlist, click the + Add ticker field and start typing. The app searches Polygon in real time and shows matches from both stocks (AAPL, NVDA, TSLA) and OTC pinks (KBLB, TGNT). Crypto symbols (BTC, ETH, SOL) are also supported — they'll show a green CRYPTO pill next to the ticker. Click any result to add it.
Click + Folder at the top of the watchlist to create a named folder like "Tech", "Crypto Majors", or "Earnings This Week". Drag any ticker into the folder to move it. Drag tickers inside folders to reorder. Drag a folder-ticker back out to move it to the root. Folders collapse with the chevron arrow and remember their collapsed state across app restarts.
Double-click a folder name to rename it. Right-click a folder to delete it — deleted folders merge their tickers back into the root, so you never lose data.
OTC stocks like KBLB and TGNT get a purple OTC pill. Prices below $1 automatically switch to 4-decimal formatting ($0.1313), and prices below $0.01 render with 6 decimals ($0.001823) so you can actually see those 50% intraday moves on sub-penny names.
Every ticker row has a tiny scatter-dot chart next to the price, showing the last 24 hours of hourly closes. Dots are green when today's change is positive, red when it's negative, and muted slate-gray when the 24h window is flat (<0.1% drift). Same sparkline shows up in the CHANGE column of every MoBot alert row — same data, same cache, one upstream call per symbol regardless of how many places you're viewing it.
Right-click any ticker row and choose Remove, or drag it off the watchlist. Confirmation isn't required — removed symbols can be re-added instantly via search.
Market overview with index cards, gainers, losers, crypto, and the latest news.
The Dashboard (Ctrl+1) is where most traders start the day. Four zones:
Dashboard data is real-timeFresh quotes updated every few seconds via the proxy REST cache, pulled from Polygon for stocks and Coinbase for crypto. for crypto and minute-bar real-time for stocks. If you need tick-level data, jump into Charts.
Charts & Multi-Chart — the trading cockpitCandles, timeframes, tabs, and the ability to compare four setups side-by-side.
The Charts page (Ctrl+2) is where you'll spend most of your time. The layout is Watchlist → FlowBar → Chart → Tab Strip → Order Book Panel. Click any symbol in the watchlist to load it.
Above the chart, a row of timeframe buttons: 1m (default), 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d. The default is 1-minute for both stocks and crypto. Switching timeframes re-pulls the candle history and rebuilds the chart.
In the top-right of the chart, click the layout switcher to cycle between Single, 2×2 grid, and 1×4 row. Each cell has its own independent ticker and timeframe — click into any cell, then pick a new symbol from the watchlist. Perfect for comparing sector peers, crypto majors, or correlated setups.
A 0–100 score, a 5-stage state machine, and a price level bar. Master this and you master 247Pro.
FlowBar is the flagship. It sits above every chart and fuses VWAPVolume-Weighted Average Price — the intraday anchor most institutional traders use., volume, price action, and a 5-stage state machine into a single score between 0 and 100. A green CONFIRMED state with a score of 87 means momentum is real, backed by volume, and holding above trigger. A red FAILING state with a score of 28 means it's over.
Every ticker cycles through these states as the setup develops:
Below the score is a color-graded horizontal bar (red → amber → yellow → lime → green) with a gliding white triangle marker. The bar's ends represent Support (left) and Target (right). The Trigger level sits in the middle. The white triangle is where the current price is right now. Watch it move left to right as the setup plays out.
Click the ⚙️ gear icon in the FlowBar header to open the FlowBar Settings modal. Five tabs:
All settings persist to localStorage and survive app restarts. Your tuning is your edge — take the time to dial it in for the instruments you actually trade.
FlowBar works on both markets but uses different reference levels: stocks anchor to pre-market high and prev-day close, crypto anchors to 24H high since crypto has no "open". The scoring logic is identical — you don't have to re-learn the engine when you switch markets.
Read the tape. See where the size sits. Know who's buying before price moves.
The right-side panel on the Charts page holds three related tools: the Order Book, the Pressure Gauge, and the Depth Chart (via the Depth tab).
For crypto, the order book shows real Coinbase L2Level 2 market data — the full order book showing every price level with resting bid and ask quantities. Contrast with L1 which shows only best bid/ask. depth — 15 bid levels (green) below the spread, 15 ask levels (red) above. Each row has a cumulative depth bar painted behind the size column so you can see where the "walls" are instantly. A big wall at a certain price level = resistance or support.
For stocks, the order book shows a simulated NBBONational Best Bid and Offer — the tightest bid and ask across all US exchanges. This is the best price your order would touch. (best bid + best ask) polled once per second from Polygon. A yellow 15-MIN DELAYED badge reminds you that Polygon's Stocks Business plan tick data is delayed by 15 minutes (real-time SIP is a separate paid entitlement).
Crypto order books have a grouping dropdown in the panel header: 0.01 / 0.05 / 0.1 / 0.5 / 1 / 2.5 / 5 / 10. It re-buckets the visible levels so you can zoom out and see the bigger structure. The default bucket is chosen automatically from the coin's price (BTC starts at $10, ETH at $1, SOL at $0.10).
Click the Depth tab for the full Coinbase-style mountain chart — green stepped-area on the left for bids, red on the right for asks, with a hover tooltip that snaps to every level and shows cumulative volume. Scroll the mouse wheel over the chart to zoom between the 8 grouping buckets.
Between the chart and the order book sits a slim vertical bar — the Pressure Gauge. It tracks buy vs sell trade flow over a rolling 60-second window. Red on top, green on the bottom, with a gliding white triangle showing the current ratio. A big number like 72% BUY means aggressive buyers dominated the last minute. The B $1.2M / S $845K readout below shows the actual dollar volume on each side.
For crypto, side detection uses the exact tagged side from Coinbase. For stocks, it uses the tick ruleIf the current trade prints higher than the previous trade it's counted as a buy; lower = sell; same = unchanged. Industry-standard side inference for tape where the true aggressor isn't reported. (uptick = buy, downtick = sell).
MoBot Dashboard — the 17 Details indicatorsA live alert feed that tells you why every symbol is moving, not just that it is.
Press Ctrl+4 (or click MoBot in the sidebar) to open the live alert feed. Every row is a triggered alert — price moves, volume spikes, VWAP reclaims, news, short squeezes. Each row is packed with three layers of intelligence:
Every Details badge uses a semantic color that tells you what kind of signal it is at a glance — not just how intense:
Brighter shades within each family = stronger signal. Green shades scale from dim (5%) to vivid (50%+). Cyan scales with float rotation %. Yellow scales with caution severity. Red is reserved for true danger (halts, gap downs). Gold marks milestones (52-week high, ATH).
The Details column displays up to 4 badges per row with a +N overflow pill for the rest. Click any row to open the full drill-down modal.
Click any alert row (anywhere in the row — the Details strip is just one clickable target) and a full-screen modal opens with:
Press Ctrl+Shift+N or go to Tools → Notification Settings. Toggle toast alerts (top-right slide-in bar), sound chimes (per-type tones), min change %, min hit count, per-type filters, poll interval. Test button at the bottom fires a sample alert so you can verify your settings without waiting for a real one.
Eight purpose-built scanners that slice the entire US universe every few seconds.
The Scanner page holds eight scanners accessible via a tab strip at the top. Every scanner refreshes on a short interval and lets you click any row to jump straight to its chart. Here's when to use each:
The highest gainers and losers of the session, sorted by dollar volume (not just % move) so you never waste time on zero-liquidity names. Includes both stocks and OTC pinks. Change the sort column to flip between gainers and losers.
A live sector heatmap showing which industry groups are up or down today. Tells you where money is flowing. If tech is +2.1% and energy is −1.4%, you know where the wind is blowing.
High short interest + high intraday gain = potential squeeze. This scanner filters to stocks with SI % ≥ 20 and intraday move ≥ 10%. Sort by SI% or by change%. The most feared setup in modern day trading.
When a stock's intraday volume exceeds its entire free float, that's a "rotation". A 1× rotation means every share of the float has traded once today. A 5× rotation is institutional-sized liquidity churning — these are usually runners. Sorted by rotation ratio descending.
Before 9:30 ET, shows the biggest gap-ups and gap-downs vs prev-day close. Sort by gap %. Click the Deep Scan button to pull per-symbol aggregates for full volume context (slower, but unbeatable for catching a gap-up with real premarket volume behind it).
After 4:00 ET, shows the biggest post-market movers — earnings beats, guidance updates, FDA announcements. Same Deep Scan button for volume verification.
Top 50 / bottom 50 by % move, with configurable price filters (e.g. only stocks above $1, only stocks under $15). Useful for finding low-float runners without getting spammed by penny stocks.
User-defined trigger rules with desktop notifications and a persistent fire history.
Custom Alerts (Alerts page in the sidebar) let you define your own trigger conditions. Unlike the MoBot alerts — which are curated operator alerts broadcast to all users — Custom Alerts are yours alone. They persist across app restarts and fire via OS-level desktop notifications.
Click + New Rule. Pick a rule type, pick a symbol (or use your whole watchlist), fill in the threshold fields, and hit Save. The rule activates instantly and runs in the background — even while you're on a different page in the app.
Every fire creates a toast inside the app AND (if enabled) an OS-level desktop notification that persists in Windows Action Center. Click the notification to jump straight to the symbol's chart. Per-rule mute toggle if you need temporary silence.
Every fire is logged to a rolling history with timestamp, trigger value, and the rule that fired it. Sort by fire time, filter by rule, or clear the history. Useful for backtesting whether your rules actually catch what you want them to catch.
News & Research — the fire hoseChronological news wire plus deep research tabs on every ticker.
Press Ctrl+3 to open the News Dashboard. Three zones:
Every article card has a clickable title, excerpt, publish time, and symbol pills (like NASDAQ:NVDA). Click a card to open the full article in your default browser at https://247marketnews.com/article/{slug}?utm_source=247Pro.
On any chart, the bottom tab strip includes News (every article mentioning this symbol), Short (short interest %, days to cover, short volume history), and Company (sector, industry, market cap, float, description). These three tabs turn 247Pro into a full research tool — you rarely need to leave the app to look up fundamentals.
Paper Desk · Journal · Position SizerFour tools that turn 247Pro into a complete trade-plan → execute → review loop.
The Paper Desk page gives you a $100,000 virtual balance against live prices. Open long or short, set stop + target levels, and watch your P&L update tick-by-tick. When price hits your stop or target, the position auto-closes and the equity curve updates. Every trade is logged with entry, exit, P&L, and holding time. On the order ticket, the MAX button next to the shares / dollars input instantly fills in the biggest size your cash balance will support (v0.10.4).
The top of the page shows a stats strip: Balance · P&L · Win Rate · Open Positions. Below that is your equity curve as an SVG line chart. Below that is the full trade log. Reset the balance at any time from the settings gear — resetting wipes your positions and cash, optionally clears earned badges (your call via a checkbox).
Every closed paper trade counts toward five live leaderboards, all refreshed in real time as trades close across the entire community:
Each metric has All-Time, Seasonal (resets each quarter), and Monthly boards. Earn badges for milestones: first profit, 10-trade streak, top-10 ranking, YOLO trade survivor, etc. Click any trader to see their public profile, follow them, and comment on their closed trades. Anti-cheat is active — micro-size spam, wash trading, and split-second flips are detected server-side and invalidated from leaderboard counts.
A Top Traders widget lives on the Dashboard page showing the current #1 on each of the five metrics — your quick pulse check on who's crushing it this week.
The Journal is where you log trades you actually took (not paper). Each entry has: symbol · side · entry · exit · shares · P&L · tags · notes · screenshot URL · emotion. Tags let you categorize setups ("breakout", "reversal", "earnings", "news"). Notes let you record what you were thinking.
The stats header shows: Total Trades · Win Rate · Profit Factor · ExpectancyThe average P&L per trade over time. Computed as (Win% × Avg Win) − (Loss% × Avg Loss). Positive expectancy = profitable system. · Best / Worst · Avg Hold Time. Drill into any tag to see your performance by setup type — you'll quickly find out which setups actually pay you.

Press Ctrl+Shift+P from anywhere in the app to open the Position Sizer modal. Enter:
It instantly returns: share count, position value, dollar risk, and R-multiple to target if you also enter a target price. Use it before every entry. Consistent position sizing is the #1 skill that separates profitable traders from everyone else.
The social layer of 247Pro. Share trades, comment on tickers, follow traders, and moderate your corner of the community.
Open the 247 Desk page from the sidebar. You'll see a live firehose of every paper trade opened or closed by traders you follow, plus the whole community in the All tab. Each card shows the trader's avatar, symbol, side (long/short), entry price, size, and — when closed — P&L and holding time. Click any card to open the ticker on Charts. Click a trader's avatar to view their profile, follow them, or comment on the trade.
Filter tabs at the top: All · Following · Closed Winners · Open Positions. The feed is a true WebSocket stream — new trades pop in live without a refresh.
Every ticker page on Charts has a real-time Comments tab. Type a comment, hit Enter, everyone else viewing the ticker sees it instantly. @mentions (type @username) notify the mentioned user with a bell-icon badge in the top bar. Moderators can pin top comments to the top of the thread — useful for surfacing "read this before you ask" warnings on halted or illiquid names.
Report a comment with the flag icon on any row — the report flows to the moderator review queue with an audit trail. Reported comments stay visible until a moderator decides, so you don't see missing-comment holes while reports are pending.
Active traders can apply to moderate specific tickers they follow daily. Applications go through an admin review queue. Approved moderators get scoped powers on their assigned tickers only:
Every mod action is logged with actor, timestamp, target, and reason. The admin console shows the full audit. Apply to mod by clicking the "Apply to moderator" button on any ticker's comment section.
The Community Guidelines are linked from the in-app Help menu and served from app.247mnn.com/community-guidelines. Every new signup must check the "I agree" box before registration completes. Guidelines are admin-editable from the 247ProAdmin system settings, so updates propagate to every live client without a release.
When the 247 desk spots something tradeable in real time, the operator can push a message directly to your app through three channels:
Pro Alerts are a Pro / Elite tier feature; Free accounts don't receive them. Every dismissal is per-install — admins publish a new alert with a fresh ID and it re-appears.
250+ Coinbase USD pairs plus pre-market and after-hours scanners for stocks.
Every Coinbase USD spot pair — roughly 250+ coins — with sortable columns for price, 24H change, 24H volume, and market cap. Hardcoded category tabs at the top: Layer 1 (BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, ADA), DeFi (UNI, AAVE, CRV), Memes (DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, WIF), AI (TAO, FET, RNDR), Gaming (AXS, SAND, MANA), Stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI).
Click any coin to jump straight to its chart. Crypto order books are real L2 data from Coinbase (no delay, no paid entitlement needed), unlike stocks which are NBBO-simulated on a 15-minute delay.
Memecoins like PEPE and SHIB trade at $0.000012. The app automatically switches to 6-decimal display for any price below $0.01, 4-decimal for prices between $0.01 and $1, and 2-decimal for prices ≥ $1. You'll never see "$0.00" rendered for a coin that's actually up 50% intraday.
The Scanner page auto-detects the current ET time and activates the right session:
Crypto scanners ignore session entirely since crypto trades 24/7. You can run Float Rotation on KBLB at 2 AM if you want.
Settings, Support & AccountNotification preferences, FlowBar tuning, support tickets, feedback, and your profile.
Open via Tools → Notification Settings or Ctrl+Shift+N. Controls:
Click the ⚙️ in the FlowBar header. Five tabs (Scoring / Penalties / Thresholds / Score Bands / Timing) as described in §5. Every value persists across restarts.
Help menu → Contact Support. Opens a form for a new ticket: subject, category, body, and up to 3 image attachments (screenshots are the easiest way to describe a bug). Ticket history is accessible from the same menu — see replies from the team, upload more screenshots, close resolved tickets.
Help menu → Send Feedback. One-shot form for feature requests, bug reports, or general feedback. Lighter-weight than a support ticket — no reply thread, just a message to the team.
Click the circular avatar at the bottom of the sidebar. Shows your email, tier badge (Free / Pro / Elite), a password-change form, and a sign-out button. Signing out invalidates your current session token on the server and boots you back to the login screen.
On the profile page, click 🔐 Active sessions. You'll see every device + session currently signed into your account, including the 8-char session ID prefix, last-used timestamp, client app (247Pro or 247ProAdmin), and a pill marking the current session. Click Sign out on any row to invalidate that specific session — useful if you signed in on a friend's laptop and forgot to log out. Sign out all other sessions nukes everything except the one you're currently on.

Alphabetical reference for every term 247Pro uses in the UI.
| All-Time High | The highest price a stock has ever traded at. 247Pro computes this by comparing the current bar against the full historical bar set for that symbol. |
| Dollar Volume | Price × share volume. A better measure of liquidity than raw share count — a $0.50 stock trading 10M shares has only $5M in dollar volume. |
| Expectancy | The average dollar outcome of every trade over time. (Win% × Avg Win) − (Loss% × Avg Loss). Positive expectancy = profitable system. |
| Float | The number of shares available to the public for trading. Excludes restricted insider shares. Lower float = more volatile = bigger moves on the same buying pressure. |
| Float Rotation | When intraday volume exceeds the entire float. A 1× rotation = every share has traded once. Rotation > 2× is institutional-sized liquidity churning — usually runners. |
| Gap | The difference between today's open and yesterday's close. Gap-up = bullish overnight news; gap-down = bearish overnight news. |
| L2 (Level 2) | Full order book data showing every bid and ask price level with resting quantity. L1 = only best bid/ask. L2 is the tape reader's weapon. |
| Market Cap | Total value of a company = share price × shares outstanding. |
| Microfloat | Stocks with fewer than 5 million shares in their float. Extreme volatility. Used by 247Pro as a high-severity signal. |
| NBBO | National Best Bid and Offer — the tightest bid and ask across all US exchanges. What your retail order would actually touch. |
| OTC | Over-the-Counter — stocks that trade outside the major exchanges (NYSE / Nasdaq). Includes pink sheets, OTCQB, and OTCQX. Often penny stocks with sub-penny prices. |
| Profit Factor | Gross profits ÷ gross losses. Above 1 = profitable, above 2 = strong system, above 3 = rare. |
| RVOL | Relative Volume — current volume divided by the 30-day average for the same time of day. RVOL 5 = trading 5× normal. |
| Short Interest (SI) | Percentage of a stock's float that has been sold short. High SI + rising price = squeeze risk for shorts. |
| SIP | Securities Information Processor — the consolidated US equities tape. Real-time SIP is a separate paid entitlement on Polygon Massive. Without it, stock tick data is 15-min delayed. |
| Spread | The difference between the current best bid and best ask. Wider spread = less liquidity = higher slippage. |
| Tick Rule | Inference method for trade side: uptick = buy, downtick = sell, same = unchanged. Used when the true aggressor isn't reported on the tape. |
| VWAP | Volume-Weighted Average Price — the intraday average price weighted by volume. The #1 reference level for institutional traders. Price above VWAP = bullish, below = bearish. |
| Win Rate | Percentage of trades that close profitable. Note: a 40% win rate with 3:1 R:R beats a 70% win rate with 1:1 R:R over time. |
