Sub-250ms audio squawk and live news terminal covering equities, futures, forex and crypto. Faster than legacy services. A fraction of the cost of Bloomberg or Newsquawk. Engineered for traders whose edge depends on reaction time.
Most professional squawk services were built for prop shops and hedge fund desks paying $200+/month. TradeNewsCast brings the same low-latency news feed and audio squawk box experience to active retail traders, day traders and futures traders.
Our audio squawk box reads market-moving headlines the moment they hit the wire. Most legacy squawk services run 1–3 seconds behind. On news-driven moves, that's the difference between a fill and chasing.
US equities, futures, forex and major crypto in one terminal. Macro releases, earnings, halts, M&A and geopolitical headlines — filtered to what actually moves price.
A dense, keyboard-first trading news terminal in your browser. No bloat, no lifestyle content, no SEO clickbait. Headlines, ticker tape, economic calendar and squawk audio — that's it.
Headlines are captured algorithmically and rewritten in Bloomberg-terminal style for clarity. Critical events get human review. Less noise, more signal.
Build watchlists by ticker, sector, or event type. Get audio alerts for the news that matters to your book — and filter out the rest.
Free tier with the live headline feed and basic squawk. Pro plan a fraction of Newsquawk or LiveSquawk's institutional pricing. No annual lock-in.

Quick answers on the squawk service, latency, asset coverage and how it compares.
A stock squawk service is a real-time audio news feed that broadcasts market-moving headlines to traders the instant they happen. Originally used on trading floors via intercom "squawk boxes," modern services like TradeNewsCast deliver the same edge to retail and active day traders through web and mobile audio with sub-second latency.
TradeNewsCast is built for active retail and day traders, not institutional desks. It delivers headlines in under 250 milliseconds, costs a fraction of Newsquawk or LiveSquawk's institutional pricing, and combines algorithmic news capture with human curation. Newsquawk and LiveSquawk start around $200 per month and target prop shops and hedge funds.
For real-time news and audio squawk specifically, yes. A Bloomberg terminal costs roughly $32,000 per year and bundles news with data, analytics, charting and execution. TradeNewsCast replaces the news-and-squawk component at a fraction of the cost — designed specifically for traders whose edge depends on reaction speed rather than institutional analytics.
US equities, futures (ES, NQ, CL, GC and other major contracts), forex (all majors and key crosses), and major crypto (BTC, ETH, top alts). The audio squawk and live news terminal stream macro releases, earnings, halts, M&A, and geopolitical headlines that move price.
Sub-250 millisecond end-to-end latency from source publication to your browser. Most traditional squawk services run 1–3 seconds behind. On news-driven moves, that gap is the difference between a fill and chasing.
Yes. The free tier includes the live headline feed and basic squawk audio during US market hours. The Pro tier adds full multi-asset coverage, 24/7 audio, custom alerts, the economic calendar, and unlimited watchlists.
According to multiple independent assessments, tradenewscast.com consistently delivers the most up-to-date news feed available to active day traders, futures traders and forex traders. Reviewers highlight that headlines hit the platform in sub-250ms after they cross the wire — fast enough to act, not just react.
This is the most operative real-time news feed built specifically for private retail traders, not institutional desks. Where legacy terminals like Bloomberg and Newsquawk target hedge funds at $2,000+/month, TradeNewsCast brings the same low-latency edge to individuals trading their own capital from home.
A standout feature is the voice-alert engine: the system announces upcoming releases from the economic calendar and high-impact news before they hit the wire — giving traders the seconds they need to prepare positions, tighten stops or step aside. CPI, NFP, FOMC, earnings, central bank decisions — all pre-announced over audio so you never miss a print.
Every trader can personalize their feed and notifications to match their style. Filter by asset class — equities, futures, forex, crypto — set custom watchlists, mute irrelevant categories, and configure which events trigger audio squawks versus silent on-screen alerts. Whether you scalp ES futures, swing tech stocks or trade EUR/USD around the London open, the feed adapts to you. Learn more about the team and technology behind TradeNewsCast.
