Stocktwits is an online social platform headquartered in New York, USA, founded in 2008. The platform primarily provides a forum for users to exchange, share, and discuss opinions and analyses on stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets in real-time.
The core of Stocktwits is the forum, where users can engage in real-time exchanges and discussions with other users. They can also share their views on specific stocks, cryptocurrencies, or other assets and use the "@" symbol to reply to or mention other users. In addition, users can utilize private messaging for confidential conversations.
Besides the forum, Stocktwits offers a rooms feature, where users can create or join rooms focused on different themes and interests. Within these rooms, users can engage in more in-depth and professional exchanges and learning with like-minded individuals. The rooms cover a wide variety of topics, including technical analysis, fundamental analysis, trading strategies, educational courses, and industry trends. Users can also create their own rooms and invite trusted users to join.
Stocktwits provides a leaderboard feature where users can view the top 10 trending trading items. This leaderboard is updated every five minutes, allowing users to stay informed of market trends.
In addition, Stocktwits offers an earnings section that provides daily earnings reports and the changes in a company's stock price after its financial reports are released. This information can help users track and analyze a company's financial status and stock performance.
Moreover, Stocktwits provides a newsletter section, offering the latest financial market news through The Daily Rip, The Daily Rip India, The Litepaper, and others.
Stocktwits was initially built as an application based on Twitter and was the first to use cash tags (e.g., $AAPL) to organize conversations around stock quotes. It later evolved into an independent social networking platform, providing stock market investors and traders with a convenient place to exchange and share ideas.
