Stocktwits, the leading social platform for investors and traders, announced that its users can access interactive charts, streaming prices and dedicated cashtag pages for futures symbols spanning the full suite of CME Group regulated futures contracts across equities, FX, cryptocurrency, energy, agriculture, metals and interest rates markets.
For the Stocktwits community, this means access to data for the widest range of global benchmark futures markets that trade virtually 24 hours a day, six days a week, with the ability to react to global events, economic data releases and overnight moves. Futures can also help open the door to new trading strategies, from hedging existing portfolios to gaining exposure to commodities, currencies, and indexes that aren’t easily accessible through traditional stock trading.
Additionally, Tradier, a U.S.-based brokerage committed to innovation, transparency, and empowering traders, is partnering with Stocktwits to bring an exclusive offer for users to start trading futures. Customers will receive one year of TradingView Essential plus CME Group market data when they open a futures account.
“Our community has been asking for futures so we went straight to the source,” said Howard Lindzon, Founder & CEO of Stocktwits. “CME Group is the best in the world at this.”
“We are very pleased to provide CME Group market data to Stocktwits’ 10 million global users, ensuring they have a broader suite of tools to manage risk and identify trading opportunities,” said Julie Winkler, Senior Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer, CME Group. “Expanding retail access to futures markets through platforms like Stocktwits and Tradier help us educate and empower a new generation of investors as they engage in today’s most important markets.”
“At Tradier, we’re focused on delivering a fully integrated customer experience where futures options trading come together in one place,” said Dan Raju, CEO of Tradier. “As Stocktwits expands into futures, we’re proud to power that evolution—bringing seamless, API-driven trading capabilities and unified access to Tradier platforms to a new generation of active traders.”
The futures data integration has rolled out to Stocktwits users, with additional features and product expansions to follow.
