wow thanks for the replies. I see that bloomberg has a professional service and I wanted to know the cost of the service.

I will definitely check out the other sites. I have also heard about afxnews. Is this good?

A lot of platforms offer free news service....if you're still fairly new, I'd go that way first before paying money. My FXsol platform as well as my GFT Dealbook, both have decent news feeds. Fxsol's is better than GFT's.

Typically the news comes in within 1-2 seconds after release.

dang! thanks maxey.

I was just curious as to which sources were good sources to follow. I dont think I will start paying for news until i get good at this which might take a while. Muddbuddha, when the news comes in from your platform, how do you know which ones will move the market? I like what FF has done by giving each news item an icon to tell you which statements might make heavier impacts that others. Do your news feeds do this for you?

Vder, news services won't let you know what will move the markets, you have to know which news will move the market as that is based on your own analysis and sometimes there are various factors that go into play for markets to move. Therefore sometimes certain news which may have had a big impact previous months may not have a big impact in the future. However the icons you see on this page gives you a good general idea as to the market's reaction to various news releases. Read the news trading forum and go through it and you will get a good general idea as to how the markets have performed to news during various news events this year. I wouldn't suggest you paying any money right now for news services, just look for free news feeds and try a few news trading strategies to develop one you are comfortable with and practice with it and once you see you could be profitable, you may think about investing in some news feeds.

"Muddbuddha, when the news comes in from your platform, how do you know which ones will move the market? "

I check the FF calendar each morning during the EURO session for times and probable impact. Then just watch the news feed in the upper right of the FXsol platform for the release numbers. Even the ones that are expected to be movers often turn out to be duds if there has been substantial movement prior. Pairs get tired....need a break.

thanks guys for the responses. I will def. research the links provided before I pay for a news service. I believe information is king in the forex market and greatly can help ones anticipation on where the market is headed. Information goes hand in hand with the forex and if I can find out news sources that reporting important reports, then I think it can help my trading.

thanks guys.

if you have some money to spend, you cant beat the price and quality of TTN. bloomberg is second on my list but that cost a great deal more.
Relax and be happy.

Hi I have tried to search this but couldn't find anything.

I want to know if there is any websites that have a historic record of all major economic releases. I want to know numbers and consensus for all major reports both U.S and Non U.S

Is there any websites that keep records of this info?

Not necessarily. It depends how you do it. The number becomes public knowledge as soon as it's released.

I do not believe that he is talking about getting the numbers illegally before the public knows. The problem is that even though FF publishes the numbers, its not real time. How can one get the number instantaneously as it comes out with having to pay dearly for such service? I see traders and non-fulltime traders pay for services which I do not think is necessary not unless one is making the money from trading to justify it.

regardless of whether it's public knowledge (e.g.many figures are released on certain websites like phillyfed) but if for example you have a bb terminal, under the contract any data from bb whether public or not cannot be sent to noather machine unless that machine also has a bb terminal or belongs to someone with a bb license.

I agree w/ Merlin for the $ you can't beat the product TTN is offering.

Here is my list:

1. Bloomberg Professional
2. Thomson One "Thomson Financial"
3. Reuters they have few diff products
4. Trade The News
5. newsstrike.com (limited only to the US session)

Hi guys, as in the subject - which chart service is the fastest? ECN-s or retail broker's?

Maybe there exist something free/demo as a start?

Where I can see the reaction on the news asap?

Some broker.s have delays and I mainly trade news.

And the second question - which news service is the fastest one?

Thanks a lot. ( LOL )
