Robinhood Social trading
Robinhood Social is a social media platform hosted within the Robinhood app. After activating your account and completing your profile info, you can:
This is part of a rolling release that might not be available to you just yet.
Some people aren’t eligible for and can’t use Robinhood Social, including Securities licensed professionals, people associated with a regulated financial institution, company insiders or control people (executives), or Robinhood employees.
If you’re eligible, you can activate your account as soon as Robinhood Social is available in your account. You’ll know it's available when the Social icon is shown on the bottom of your Investing page. You’ll be required to complete the onboarding flow and agree to the Robinhood Social Agreement. You’ll then be prompted to set up your profile with your new Robinhood Social account.
You’re required to have a unique profile that includes your username, profile picture, performance stats, Robinhood join date, your post feed history, and the number of followers and people following you. You also have the option to have a bio as part of your profile.
The profit rate shown on your profile is based on the prior month’s trading activity. It is calculated by dividing the total number of profitable trades by the number of total trades, and then multiplying that number by 100 to get a percentage. Note that the 1Y and 1D PnL will match what’s shown on your portfolio returns chart.
For example, let’s say you placed 20 trades last month and 12 of them are profitable: 12 / 20 = 0.6 * 100 = 60%
Your social media feed will share all your trades and you can comment about and initiate eligible asset trades from your feed. Your trade posts will automatically include the applicable details, including the quantity bought or sold, the strike price, and a gain loss indicator. Asset types that are currently eligible for you to post include event contracts, equities, single-leg options, and crypto. Note that posts and comments are limited to 280 characters or less.
You can deactivate your Robinhood Social account at any time. Note that deactivated accounts will have a 3-year reactivation window. Accounts that are reactivated within the 3-year period will keep historical content and account information.
If you choose to delete your account instead of deactivating it, your account profile information, historical content, and followers will not be saved and cannot be accessed. You’ll need to start over with a new Robinhood Social account.
