The live news feed at [/news](https://www.quantisnow.com/news) is the heart of Quantisnow. It streams new items from press release wires, the SEC, analyst desks and the FDA as they arrive, newest first. You can switch between 13 feeds, combine several into one stream, filter them, and open any item for the full story.

## How to switch and combine feeds

The chips at the top of the feed are shortcuts to the most used feeds: **Press**, **Analyst**, **Insider**, **Buys**, **SEC**, **FDA** and **Financials**.

1. Click a chip to switch to that feed.
2. Click a second chip to add it. The page becomes a combined feed at a URL like /news?feeds=prs,sec.
3. Click an active chip again to remove it from the combination.

You can also build the URL yourself with any feed slugs from the table, separated by commas:

- [/news?feeds=sec,fda](https://www.quantisnow.com/news?feeds=sec,fda) for filings and FDA news together.
- [/news?feeds=analyst-ratings,insider-trading-purchases](https://www.quantisnow.com/news?feeds=analyst-ratings,insider-trading-purchases) for ratings plus insider buys.

Bookmark a combined URL to come back to the same mix.

## How fast the feed updates

| | Free account or signed out | Plus |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Delay | 55 seconds | Real time |
| Refresh | About every 15 seconds | About every 3 seconds |

New items slide in at the top. If you have scrolled down, new items are held back so the row you are reading does not jump; scroll back to the top or click the new-items pill to merge them in. On a free account the stream may pause after a few new items and show an upgrade prompt; reload the page to catch up. When you return to a background tab, the feed catches up straight away. Compare plans in [Free vs Plus](https://www.quantisnow.com/docs/free-vs-plus).

## How to change the feed density

Use the density toggle above the feed:

| Density | Plan | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Comfortable | All accounts | Reading summaries and tags |
| Compact | Plus | Scanning more headlines per screen |
| Dense | Plus | Maximum information density, a tape-like view |

Your choice is remembered in your browser.

## What an insight page is

Every item has a permanent page at a URL like /insight/acme-corp-announces-fda-approval-123456, built from the headline and an item number. The insight page shows the full content where available, the source label, an **Original source** link to the original document, and related news for the same companies. Signed-out visitors can read 2 full insight articles per 7 days; any signed-in account reads unlimited.
