BlackBoxStocks is a rapidly growing trading analytics platform that uniquely provides social engagement and trading education to its users. The Company describes itself as ‘Bloomberg meets Twitch’ and cultivates a community of traders who share insights and market trading strategies, complete with ”Team Traders” and moderators who attempt to demystify and democratize trading for the broader trading public.
BlackBoxStocks, often described as “Bloomberg meets Twitch,” is a peerless trading analytics platform that marries social engagement and trading education for its growing online community of traders. Designed to democratize and demystify trading for a broader audience, BlackBoxStocks is touted as the most user-friendly stock and options tool on the market. To that end, it engages proprietary algorithms to alert traders of all levels of the most active stocks and options at any given time.
With an addressable market estimated at more than 20 million active traders in the United States alone, BlackBoxStocks saw its user base quadruple in 2020, with revenues anticipated to approach $27 million by 2023 as well as an impressively long runway for user growth.
From solo trading to community connection.
Recognizing the value of community and connection, BlackBox features a fully interactive social media platform integrated into its dashboard. The trending social trading community gives users the chance to connect via voice and video, tap into strategies from top traders, follow trending stocks and members, and post trade confirmations.
Transitioning the concept of trading from solo to a community and lifestyle activity has been a key driver of the company’s notable growth. Recently, it introduced a live audio andscreenshare feature that allows members to broadcast on their own channels to share trading strategies and market insights.
Real-time analytics level the playing field for traders.
Expanding trading access to new demographics and markets, BlackBoxStocks alerts traders to the most active stocks and options with real-time analytics. Traders can take advantage of the company’s live charting tools and proprietary volatility indicator to determine the hottest stocks and the best overall fit. Technology long reserved for the Wall Street elite is now available for a much wider audience.
The financial technology and social media hybrid platform continuously scans the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, Cboe Global Markets and other markets to analyze more than 8,000 stocks and up to 1 million options contracts — multiple times per second — consistently alerting users to the latest and greatest profit opportunities.
Free boot camp education gives new traders tools they need to succeed.
Where other sites and organizations attempt to upsell users on value-added services, BlackBoxStocks shares free education, starting with its well-regarded BlackBox Bootcamp. Bootcamp shares a comprehensive three-hour introduction to trading stocks and options and tips for navigating the platform with the recognition that trading can be intimidating for new users and that “education is essential for achieving consistent profitability in trading.”
Advanced continuing education classes further help users develop trading styles and strategies and hone their trading knowledge while experienced Team Traders also share ongoing insights.
The best option when it comes to options.
BlackBox also opens up the options market for newer traders, sharing directional option strategies, tips on reading an options chain, settlement timeframes and more via the BlackBox Bootcamp. Similar to algorithms used in highly profitable high-frequency trading strategies, the company’s proprietary algorithms “follow the smart money” so traders can readily determine what institutions are trading.
BlackBox goes beyond standard market features to offer proprietary algo-driven scanners, automated stocks and options alerts, an options flow scanner and heatmap, a volatility indicator, and dark pool analytics. Traders of all levels can stream real-time options and news and monitor daily changes, thanks to the company’s intelligent options flow.
Available as a web-based app for use on any device, BlackBoxStocks effectively integrates trading analytics, education and social interaction to create a thriving, robust trading community. With an experienced leadership team led by co-founders Gust Kepler (who also serves as CEO), Eric Pharis and David Kyle, BlackBox impressively integrates trading with community and education to create memorable experiences and limitless opportunities for traders of all levels.
