Is there something like a list off all News.

Does specific news appear on certain days of the month and specific times, like the NFP that happens every first Friday of the month?

Plus what is the average impact of news on certain markets

If there is such a list where could I obtain it, or should I build my own form observation

Tx Tom I use that one as well, but I was wondering if a specific news item comes out on certain times of the week/month and if so, if there are such a list

This will be a MAJOR mistake. Dukascopy is the best broker for trading AROUND the news not during.

The platform freezes and hard to close trades. I tested it for a full two weeks at news and it is scary!

from what you're saying even ducascopy an ECN broker is not good for news trading, but i heard that they are pretty good and dont care about what you're doing... so is there any broker that we could trade news ? do you have any recommendation or could you name those broker to me? and tell me please why you select them. thanks

Hi,

Many people ask about broker for news trading, I'm looking for it too.
For many years I trade futures (not during news ) and think maybe this is the answer ?
Platform never freezes (at least I've never seen) and nobody cares what are You doing as long as You have enough margin.
I know that liquidity is not so good and leverage is not so big and there is a commission.
I'll try trade news using CME BP (CME pound futures).

Anybody have some experience trading news using futures ?

Yeah, forget BP on the news. It's only $6.25 a tick on the futures. Euro FX is better @ $12.50 a tick. Even better check out the Eurodollar contract @ $25 a tick, but its moves are much smaller than currency futures.

I hope you understand what the eurodollar contract is. IT has nothing to do with fx

Hi, guys!

Got a Microsoft error message when I tried to open the Excel file in post #1. Does anyone have a working file that can be posted?

Yeah, I understand that (have series3 ).

Choice between euro fx contract and gp contract is not so easy. You right it's 12.5 $ per pips but volatility is lower so maybe 2 gp contracts plays better? I don't know now. little bigger is margin (1 contract) but commision is lower (than 2 bp contracts), I trade mainly GBP so better know GBP behaviour. There are some pro and contra.

I dont really want to start the whole futures over spot arugment but with ecn's like currenex, I really do not see the point of trading in the fx futures mkt unless you're arbing. Eurofx is really the only one with enough liquidity to be worthwhile looking at but when eur$ via cnx and aa decent pb is usually choice to 1 pip spread with at least 10m at the top of the book, there really is no doubt in my mind as to which I'd use. Futures may be seen as more of a fair market but what happens when you want ot close out a position and there's just not enough liquidity? Ppl who trade the yield curve on say german bonds will know how careful they gave to be if they add buxl to their portfolio, the liquidity is awful but get your entries and ratios right .... you'll make a fortune. I'm sure you guys are aware of what happened monday night on liffe ..... my brother and two of his mates were the only guys in his singapore office at the time (4am) and between them they made over $2m that night ... most locals made stupid money and the guys who took the hit were the banks

Of course the Eurodollar is not FX. Since this is a "news" trading forum this contract applies. If you want a contract that trades somewhat "related" to the dollar, particularly during news releases, take a look at the eurodollar. Your concerns about about liquidity can not possibly aply to this contract. It is the most liquid futures contract on the planet...period.
