Frequently asked questions

What news do day traders use?

Day traders rely on structured, time-stamped newswires that flag priority levels and affected tickers — not general finance websites. A dedicated wire helps them follow halts, FDA decisions, M&A filings, macro surprises and earnings updates as sources publish them. SquawkNews LiveCast combines the real-time wire with opt-in audio and market context.

How fast is the SquawkNews feed?

Publication time varies by source, processing requirements and event type. High-priority items are surfaced ahead of routine context, and published updates can be read aloud so traders can keep watching their charts. SquawkNews makes no fixed latency promise.

Is SquawkNews free?

LiveCast is the one paid SquawkNews product at $49 per month. Live Markets, Session Briefs, Calendar, Search, Market Movers, explainers and public articles remain open without a subscription.

Do you cover premarket and after-hours news?

Yes. The text wire covers premarket movers, overnight macro, Asian and European session catalysts, and US after-hours earnings releases. LiveCast audio remains in monitoring mode between published updates.

What is the difference between LiveCast and Live Markets?

LiveCast is the paid chronological news and audio product. Live Markets remains public and shows quotes, movers, watchlists and market context. LiveCast listeners can choose QUIET, DESK or SQUAWK ALL NEWS depending on how much audio coverage they want.
