# Alpha Snipper

The uniqueness of Alpha Snipper lies in its alpha-driven mechanism. Alpha refers to events or news that can significantly impact markets. Compared to relying on technical indicators like candlestick patterns, alpha-based investing provides higher expected returns.

When impactful events occur, Rocket-3 captures the associated alpha signals in real-time. Most individual investors fail to obtain such timely event data.

Alpha is often the motive for users' trades - most trade based on events, just with relatively closed-off information channels, preventing optimal entry timing. If intention represents the purpose for users' trades, then alpha signifies the motive. Rocket-3 will provide a comprehensive signal capturing system, allowing users to obtain industry insights in the fastest time. After a trading motive emerges, they can swiftly execute trades.
