Dear fox,
Although I used to trade for a long time, but I still find out that we really need a good tool or a program to send us news as it happens. Trading news success main key is to get news before Market Movement. I read alot about reuters service bout it is very expensive. does anyone have an idea about a cheap/free tool or a program which support sending news instantly and as it happens? thank you and waiting for replys.

Unfortunately this is as good as it gets, it is my understanding that it is illegal to send out signal to people seconds before the news comes out, someone can send you signal to buy/sell on a level of 1-10 but they are not allowed to release to you the actual numbers. i use this for instant numbers, http://www.easy-forex.com/en/ but is only a couple seconds faster then forex factory at times, especially when there is overload of people logged on here.

Anyone pay for signals? Would love to hear how it is working for them?
Remember it isnt the size of the ship, its the motion of the ocean!!!

Forex factory of course.
However, personally I use the trial of Synthesis bank. News in real time on different matter and all around the world. In addition, it give me the possibility to watch the bond and treasury market as well as future. The only think is that you have to renew the trial every two week and the interface is a little strange at the begining.
Nevertheless, once you create your perfect interface, you save it and reload it every time you want. After that, this software is for me a wonder.

Did anybody notice lately that FF daily calendar is reporting inaccurate forecast figuers?

I always listen to the news on TV, like Bloomberg, at the same financial news is breaking.

The news from, lets say Bloomberg, my broker and FF usually concur , but in the past 10 days or so the forecast figuers from FF are inaccurate.

Does the whole world get the news at the same time or is there an insider club that gets the news earlier than the rest of the world?

I was recommended to try this service called the Forex Muse. $199 USD per month to use it. It tells you to buy or sell according to the parameters you tell it to. Unless it can tell me the buy or sell triggers 1 or 2 min before the actual news comes out, I can't see myself placing an order fast enough at the same minute the news is released to catch the spikes.

Unless you know someone like Clarence Beeks a la Trading Spaces to get the orange crop report before it's made public, there is not any way to get a economic data release before it's made public to everyone.
