DislikedFYI I have decided to open the site up for a year for free to anyone who registers. As of now the site is completely free but I have removed some content and services I have to pay for to make it feasible. There is no dataflash and no daily scrumIgnored
Disliked{quote} Hey Eco, First of all, thanks for everything you are doing to help your fellow "aspirant" news/fundamental traders. I have your website under my radar since the first time you talked about it, and I was thinking about subscribing soon; but as you opened it for free, well, I've just happily signed-up. Although I believe more than one would be willing to pay a little for the DataFlash and Daily Scrum services. By the way, before you uploaded your "News Trader" PDF: https://www.tradingfxfundamentals.co...g-fundamentals, there...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi Viktory I am planning on adding a lot of more content for the educational side of things including a video series on Youtube. I deleted that other content but that information is mostly in the new doc and what isn't will be made available in additional content on the way. I removed the subscription pricing for now as I want to build a community first and prove to people I can guide them to success without costing them an arm and a leg. This site should be viewed as being like a data vendor and down the road, I will add the subscription...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi Eco, Thanks for your reply. I really like your project's vision, looking forward to it. And I'm also curious to see some proof, ideally like a third-party verified track record, or at least some grounded expectations based on a suitable statistical sample. Years ago, I used to trade spikes caused by news releases with OCO/brackets and auto-clickers, until it became risky and inconsistent due to spreads widening and slippage among all kinds of both "A & B Book" retail brokers. What do you think about this kind of "strategies" nowadays?...Ignored

DislikedHi risk trade alert (swing trade) Turkey sacked its central bank governor and replaced him with his deputy who is known for being dovish. Currently, rates are 24% so rollover costs are not cheap and the spread is also a dog's arse. Now we know they are going to cut as the government is now seemingly forcing the central bank's hand and the market is looking at hundreds of basis point cut. The next meeting I believe is around the 25 of July and price is currently 5.7. Just note this is a very high risk trade but the drivers for it to move in our favour...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi Viktory I am not an educator, its not my business model or vision. I am a data vendor bringing together central bank research, market data, and news feeds and will be primarily for traders that know what they are doing but want the convenience of having the information they use to trade at hand, without needing to research to the extent they would otherwise. What I offer for free on the educational side is a set of guidelines that help people find trading opportunities. It isn't a red light green light process that can be replicated and...Ignored
DislikedI will teach people how to source this info on their own and trade it successfully so when you learn how to do this you can be completely self-sufficient. The subscription side of things was only ever intended to be a convenience factor saving traders the headache of spending hours each week researching this stuff and being prepared to spend a little money for the convenience of having someone else do it for them.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hello Tech, I agree with you for the most part... but anyway, a valid "proof" is always welcome, encouraging and could even be inspirational. The best overall retail brokers that I know, are both from Oceanía: Global Prime (Australia) and FXPig (New Zealand). They are true A-Book STP/DMA/ECN brokers, and don't "freeze" their platforms during news events, but the spreads and slippage almost always tend to increase, mostly due to their liquidity providers. Thanks for your input! {quote} Eco, I know being an educator it's not your main purpose,...Ignored
DislikedIf the trades I show on this thread, my site, or my previous threads aren't enough, or if seeing it for yourself in real-time when these events happen isn't enough, then perhaps this isn't for you Viktory and moving on might be the best way forward. I mean no disrespect, but every week news are released that offer trading opportunities, and I explain those trades on the site and in this thread. You don't need to see an account to see that it works and you can research every historical trade as well.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Years ago, brokers used to widen spreads significantly and slippage was bad and some brokers are still bad because they are either a bucket shop or have too few liquidity providers. You have to shop around to find a professional broker where slippage is minimal and spreads aren't widened to an extent that it makes trading the event difficult. That aside, I think a strategy that sets a buy\sell OCO orders on news is doomed to fail. There is another thread on this commercial category (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=930576)...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Thanks again for your kind reply Aside from OCO-brackets, what do you think of spike auto-clickers (triggered by volatility just in one direction) within "proper" brokers? Although maybe a little better, I suppose it's practically the same case, right? And also apart from that, do you know something about this free "service"?: https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/commu...ng-signals.19/ https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/commu...signals.49883/...Ignored
Disliked{quote} There is definite value in triggers that can execute a trade for you but they need to be able to properly decide on the outcome and to do that you need to be able to configure various outcomes to trade. If you can only configure a buy and sell based on just looking at one thing then it is just an automated version of lazy trading the news. I can't comment on those services quality. By the looks of it, they trigger a trade after a spike and on a pullback. This to me seems a bit better than an OCO strategy but it also isn't ideal as the market...Ignored
