Professional audio squawk and text headline service running around the clock for equities and FICC markets, aimed at institutional and prop desks.
What it is
TradeTheNews is a market news service built for speed rather than analysis. Analysts broadcast market-moving news as an audio squawk and publish it as short text headlines, 24 hours a day across the American, European and Asian sessions. Coverage spans equities and FICC (fixed income, currencies and commodities): earnings, economic data, central bank speakers, M&A, insider activity, technical levels and similar catalysts. Subscribers can also put questions to the analysts through the platform. The company says it has run audio squawk since 1998 and is not owned by a trading firm.
Services are sold as Premium and Standard packages, with a choice between audio squawk and text-headline-only delivery, plus market calendars and add-ons such as the 13F Radar and the EventWatch daily briefing. The site does not publish prices or explain the difference between the packages in detail; you register for a free trial or contact the sales team, which has offices in New York, Toronto, London, Dublin, Paris, São Paulo, Hong Kong and Sydney.
The service is pitched at cash equity traders, hedge funds, prop shops, brokers and special-situations desks running short-term and intraday momentum strategies. For a retail trader, it is worth trialling to see whether a squawk fits how you trade before asking for a quote.
