What Is Squawk and How Do I Use It?

Squawk is a live audio stream with key headlines and real-time market updates. 
​
There are 2 different Squawks to choose from:
​
- Squawk Equity ( from 6 am - 6 pm EST )
- High Beta Squawk ( Market open to market close ) (Add-on purchase required)
​
The Squawk services will give you alerts on stocks and the market as a whole. The Equity Squawk and High Beta are different people reading the alerts. They have various sources and are looking at other things. While there might be some overlap on these two channels, the goal of Equity Squawk is to read as much stock or market-moving news as possible, whereas High Beta Squawk is saving the read for the biggest news that would impact the stock

From 6am to 6pm (ET), Benzinga Pro updates you on news you need to know, in real-time, by announcing market developments which include market-moving exclusives, option alerts, volume spikes and rumors.
​

To use Benzinga Pro Squawk, hover your mouse over the Squawk icon on the left side of your page. The icon will expand and look like this: 

From there, you can control everything from the comfort of your own platform.

We have recently added a status indicator alert. Never again question if you are missing something on Squawk. You will always know your connection status.
