Which is the best news feed?

Where can you get the best real time news feed? Free or Fee?
Which broker, website or subscription services?
Please advise. Thanks!

I would like to be able to filter only news on
EUR/USD
USD/JPY

Regarding news and just news, you have plenty of info in sites like tradethenews.com, marketnews.com .

I won't go into saying whose the best, news are news and each trader interprets that information in its own way.

I prefer to stick to rates and nfp news and thats all

To sum it up, depending on your degree of exigence, you can take a trial on most of these sites and judge by yourself, that in trading, is the best you can do.

Maybe I should ask which would you recommend...
Thanks!

btw what is nfp?

non farm payroll

My point was that you must decide by yourself, depends on what are your requirements, and since most of these sites allow trial accounts, you can pretty uch judge by yourself, that is the best option, *always*.

These days I trade with InstaForex and ETX Capital and they both offer the FxWire Pro news feed. I think it's great. I tried to get it for free, but I don't think they offer it to individual traders. I haven't seen many of the other paid FX News feeds out there though.

I wouldn't worry too much about news. News follows price. You want analysis to find out where price is going

I highly disagree. Price is driven by fundamentals. The BIG traders follow and decipher fundamentals and news. This can be nfp, inflation reports, interest rates, geopolitical or anything really that might change traders perception of the value of price.

Not all news are equally important and a lot of the times, news events are already priced in, before the actual release of the event. ex. Remember QE2 which was announced in November last year. The Dollar dropped in value way before (couple of weeks) the actual announcement.

My point is that fundamental factors causes trends and IMHO, you have to figure out what is currently important fundamentally, follow that releases over a period of time, determine the trend (which should also be reflected on the charts) and trade in that direction.

Sorry to get off topic. I'm not sure about any good news service. For me FF's news and the newspaper is enough to get an idea of what is happening.

Good luck.

I think we are actually agreeing here. When I say news I mean news of what just happened. Nfp, interest rates are fundamentalfa factors that move price. You can get that news right here at forex factory. If he's referring to a fast news source that will provide him with e economic news, that's a fools errand no way can you outperform the big dogs with speed of execution. My earlier post was from a book I'm reading. Trade your way to financial freedom by van tharp. He says "fundamental analysis predicts price direction, while news follows price direction."
