Alpaca is excited to announce our partnership with Stocktwits, the leading social platform for investors and traders. The Stocktwits community actively discusses price action, utilizes investor sentiment, makes and monitors price predictions, and creates customized watchlists in real-time. With this integration, Alpaca’s Broker API partners can provide customers with community-driven insights and news that increases trader confidence.
What is Stocktwits?
Founded in 2008, Stocktwits is the leading social platform dedicated to investors and traders. On their platform, users can discuss stocks, market trends, and share investment strategies. Stocktwits has a highly-engaged, interactive community of over 10 million investors and traders.
Driven by their mission to help investors enhance returns, Stocktwits offers a rich ecosystem of community interaction, data, content, and tools that empower investors to connect, learn, trade, and have fun in the process. Stocktwits continues to innovate and regularly adds new features to their platform. Most recently, they added corporate earnings calls, retail sentiment, and polls; all which have had strong response from their community.
Stocktwits also recently launched an initiative called “Stocktwits Everywhere” in which Alpaca is a strategic partner. With this initiative, the goal is to place Stocktwits’ proprietary data, content, and news in the hands of millions of retail investors outside of their platform.
