StockTwits, a social network for investors and traders, announced last week that it has partnered with stock trading app Robinhood to incorporate brokerage functionality into its iOS app.
The partnership allows users to connect their two accounts, giving Robinhood users access to StockTwits’ stock tracking tools, and offering Robinhood’s free brokerage service to StockTwits users. Highlights of the integration include:
- See stocks on their StockTwits watchlist that they own in their Robinhood account
- Swipe to trade for free with Robinhood without leaving the StockTwits watchlist and trending list
- Share Robinhood trades with the StockTwits community
While the new trading functionality is not currently available on Android, StockTwits CEO Howard Lindzon notes that a solution is in work and will be available soon.
