Robinhood announced today that Robinhood Social beta is rolling out now to a select group of its most active and engaged traders.

The company will start with 1,000 customers who attended HOOD Summit in September, before expanding to an additional 10,000 customers over the coming weeks. Those who are selected for the beta program will hear from Robinhood directly.

Last fall at HOOD Summit: Enter the Mainframe, Robinhood announced a suite of new trading products as part of its mission to make Robinhood the #1 place for active traders. One of the products it previewed was Robinhood Social, a trading community within the Robinhood app that offers live, verified trades and authentic profiles, where customers can discuss strategies, follow others, and more.

“This is an important early milestone for Robinhood Social, but it’s just the beginning,” said Abhishek Fatehpuria, VP of Product Management at Robinhood. “Beta allows us to learn quickly and build thoughtfully, prioritizing quality, trust, and feedback from our most active traders.”

The Robinhood Social beta will launch with an initial set of features, with more to follow over time. Today, these customers will be able to:

• Create a trader profile: Create their own custom profiles so they can share their stats and trades–all verified live. They can watch trades unfold live and see exactly when someone enters or exits a position.
• Post, track, talk, and trade: Discuss strategies, follow other traders, comment and like posts, and manually trade directly from their feed if they wish. During beta, customers will be able to post trades across stocks, single-leg options, crypto, and prediction markets.
• See traders’ real performance: Check 1-year and daily P&L, profit rate, and dive into past trades for other traders.

Other features, like news feeds, trade posting for futures and multi-leg options, as well as the ability to follow insiders, hedge funds, and politicians, will roll out in beta soon.

The initial group of beta testers have been carefully selected based on a number of criteria including trading activity and frequency, and user experience research. This group of customers will give Robinhood important insights into what people want out of a social trading platform, how they use the product on a daily and weekly basis, what they love most, and they will help us catch any missing features, shortcomings, or bugs.
