Common Questions

Everything You Want to
Know Before Switching

Is QuantSquawk a StockTwits alternative?
It solves a different problem than StockTwits does. StockTwits is a social platform — a feed of trader opinions, watchlists, and crowd sentiment on tickers. QuantSquawk has no social layer at all; it's a scored feed of real Tier-1 news headlines (Reuters, CNBC, MarketWatch, Benzinga, Yahoo Finance, Investing.com, Seeking Alpha, ZeroHedge) with an AI market-impact estimate on each one. If you want crowd chatter, StockTwits does that better. If you want to know how much a real news event likely matters without wading through opinions, that's QuantSquawk.
Does QuantSquawk replace StockTwits' sentiment features?
No, and it isn't trying to. QuantSquawk's AI score reflects estimated market impact of an actual news event, not crowd mood. Many traders use StockTwits for community sentiment and QuantSquawk for a noise-free, scored feed of the news that sentiment often reacts to.
Do I need an account or credit card to start?
No. Open quantsquawk.com in your browser and you're live. No signup, no email, no credit card. The full free tier — Tier 1 feed, AI scoring, audio — is immediately accessible.
How accurate is the AI impact scoring?
The AI scores are directional sentiment signals and market-impact estimates — not trade signals or a trading system. We track scored Tier-1 headlines against the actual price moves that follow, and publish hits and misses alike as the record builds. Treat the output as one input in your process, not financial advice.
