I find IFR Markets (which is from Thomson Reuters) and Dow Jones Newswire to be very good. Lots of forex specific stuff. You can get them for free if you open a demo account with Oanda.

That's all I use and tried at the moment , I hope you found it useful .

Actually the info is not much different to forexfactory, and it is LIVE updates. You could setup the notification from your Microsoft Outlook after you have subscribed an account (NEED TO PAY). It could deliver the updates and economic calendar into your MS Outlook. Meanwhile, you also can sign up to receive weekly market recaps and upcoming events and get email updates (FREE)

Thanks.

IMHO, the reason for this is very simple. when you got big bugs like bankers/fund managers, you can always afford a premium news services like REUTER/BLOOMBERG terminal in which these services will release the news result 2 minutes before the actual release to press. this gives an advantage to the service subscribes. but for people like me who relies most to common website like forex factory in which the best time the news is update is +1 min. so you may say that within this 3M , the whole chunk of the trend may have settle down. not all all!! just imagine an avalanche. the biggest movement will happen only in the midway. so instead of having nothing, you may still grasp 50% of the trend if you have paced your pending orders accordingly and sit relax and watch. furthermore, even if you try to get into the action within the first 3M, you may end up paying a hefty commission to the broker where the spread is always astronomical at this state. so instead of flying, you end up getting fry!!!!

if you want to confirm my argument, you may open a demo acc with OANDA FX, in which they do provide a live feed of 15s and see for yourself what is happening to the currency pair, 2M prior to the news release. all the best....
just for your info, by utilizing a pending order+PA i manage to net +83pips this morning on AUD employment news even without watching the news feed......

I dont get why more people dont use twitter, there are bloomberg and reuters users on there that post headlines and breaking news within 2-5 secs of it hitting wires, if you use tweetdeck then it pushes the data through and no need to refresh.

EVERYONE should use twitter, if you're not then you're at a huge disadvantage!

Its far far quicker than any squawk service

i am not so sure how effective twitter could be as far trading forex concern for 2 reasons:
1] you must be following the right twitt
2] concentration will be another issue as you may find yourself in difficult position to follow your trade or the twitt? just think about this when your money is at stake now? furthermore, i did came across a signal provider in which they have a server set up in which they will look for somekind of 'communication trend' within twitt and facebook accounts. how far have they manage to conclude the results within a given time, only god knows.

but based on just PA and pending orders, you could have done this like me even without watching the screen. i got +40pips in this trade [2:1]

Hello,

Could somebody please point out which free audio news service has the best and fastest trade news? I am not interested in any delays nor paid Services and both www.financialjuice.com and www.newsstrike.com provide free live audio news, so there wont be any delay there!

But the question is how quick or fast do they provide the news compared to Ransquawk, Trade the News, Benzinga and all the other competitors out there. I couldnt find my answer on the web so I hope somebody can answer from experience using these free audio news streaming sites.

If there is another Topic already explaining this subject, please post the link below going Forward (upon searching I didnt find a newer suitable topic).

Cheers!

I use the Forex News Gun FNG from the Forex Peace Army. I don't use the auto trade option just put the window on my chart and get the news results the second they happen.
Here is a link to it: http://www.forexpeacearmy.com/commun...signals.23015/
