Live Intelligence · Track-E
ProAircraft, cargo vessels, weather systems, earthquakes, sanctioned entities, and the session terminator — all rendered live on one map. Built for traders who want geopolitics visible alongside price.
Most platforms show you the tape. Sharpnel shows you the ambient state of the world the tape is reacting to — so when oil jumps, you can see the tankers stalled at Hormuz before you look at the news wire.
What you get
Every commercial flight in the air right now, drawn as a silhouette-accurate icon with a fading trail. Hover for origin, destination, altitude, speed, callsign. Zoom in and icons separate; zoom out and they aggregate into an adaptive density heatmap.
Cargo ships, tankers, LNG carriers — drawn in real time with MMSI, dimensions, destination, ETA. Useful for commodities traders watching choke points (Suez, Hormuz, Malacca, Panama) before the headline hits.
Tornado warnings, winter storms, hurricanes streamed from the National Weather Service. Ag traders watching the Midwest grain belt, energy traders watching Gulf production — same map, same zoom.
Recent quakes render as amber pulses sized by magnitude. Helpful context for commodities that route through seismically active supply chains.
OFAC, EU, UK, and UN consolidated sanctions. Counterparty scrutiny and vessel-ownership checks without opening a separate compliance tool.
An astronomically accurate solar terminator divides day from night in real time. Major trading hubs — New York, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong — stay labelled across zoom levels with session status on hover.
What you'd do with it
Brent spikes. Before you open a news feed, scan the map — a cluster of tankers idling off Hormuz tells you the story the headline will confirm in the next fifteen minutes.
A tornado watch over the Corn Belt or a hurricane approaching Gulf production is a position-level risk event. Same canvas where you watch price, so you never lose track of the weather while you work.
Before a new counterparty trade, a single click on the sanctions layer filters vessels and entities to the list. No separate tool, no subscription, no latency.
Included with Pro ($125/mo) — that's about 1/16th the cost of an institutional desk terminal.
Common questions
Aircraft from OpenSky, vessels from AIS, weather from NWS, seismic from USGS, sanctions from the consolidated public lists. All merged server-side into a single stream; the browser never hits the upstreams directly.
Flights and vessels update every minute on average. Weather and earthquakes stream as issued. Sanctions lists refresh on the official cadence (daily-to-weekly depending on jurisdiction).
Every layer is toggled independently from the right-side panel. Traders who care about maritime but not weather can run with only the AIS layer active; ag traders usually stack weather + seismic.
