Happy almost new year! 2020 was a great year for retail traders, and I hope the data Robintrack provided was useful for everyone.

Here's to a bright 2021 and beyond! And @RobinhoodApp, 2021 as "The Year Robinhood Brought the Data Back" has a nice ring to it, don't you think? ❤️

@1Powerplayer Oh it was a ton of fun, and a great experience all around. I'm def. extremely sad it's over, but it was awesome while it lasted.

[Robintrack @robintrack]

Although this will be the end of Robintrack for the foreseeable future, the site will remain online with all data collected so far, available for download as usual.
