Do you want to get alerted the very first minute breaking news hit the market or stocks through out the day?
This can be very useful for day traders. Benzinga Squawk gives voice alerts so you can just keep it running in the background. A voice will speak and deliver the breaking news. From my experience, it's fairly quick to the alert (usually within the first 2 minutes of the move). Benzinga Squawk also gives a daily briefing before the market opens to keep you updated on upcoming news events for the day. This can significantly cut the preparation time required before trading each day.
In my experience, this has been the most useful in quickly finding unusual midday movers.
If the news is good enough, there is often a follow through after the first spike in the price as seen in the example below. This can be very lucrative as the price can really run after the first pullback.
This service (audio squawk) has a retail price of $147/month. However, if you have thinkorswim, you can access this for FREE!
So I strongly believe it is best to take advantage of this valuable free resource. How to Access Benzinga Squawk in ToS:
Open Thinkorswim
On the top right corner, click on Support/Chat
3. Click on Chat Rooms
4. Click on Benzinga Squawk
5. Check mark the Listen box.
Now you're all set! You can simply minimize the window and have this running in the background. It's recommended that you adjust the volume of the squawk to very low settings as the person speaking is very loud.
Have fun and good luck!
