Oanda FX news ....

Hi guys,

Im wondering if any of you know a way to save all the news items from Oanda FXnews to my PC, or maby if it would be possible for a programmer to create an application that pull's each seperate item from there and list them in a word document?

If this is possible, then Id be interested to get a quote of how much it would cost.

With starting college I simply dont have the time to watch the market news services live, and my next best option is to go through things in the evening after the fact.

I'm interested in this same thing, has anyone found a solution to automatically download FXnews data to your computer? If not I may need to look into hiring a developer to do it.

They've cleverly implemented it so that you can't even copy/paste from the news items. A possible hack is to write a TCP/IP sniffer that decodes and saves the news items as they come in on the port that the app is using...

Yeah the farthest I went was to use wireshark and an http analyzer to try to capture the data but no luck, I mean I think I can see it in wireshark but it's encrypted or whatever. They do have a print button in each news item and I use XPS Doc Writer to print out the text of interesting items to a file which is better than nothing but it's far too time consuming.

Wow, good for you with Wireshark. Thing is they use https so you'd need to know the encryption key, etc. I think there's a way to do this using Wireshark but I've never tried before.

Java apps are notoriously hard to hack.

Oanda has a site with news: http://atnabtu.com I'm not sure if this contains the FXNews you refer to.

I already have scripts which download and process these research news: http://fxtradeinfocenter.oanda.com/c...alysis/ubsnews

No, I'm interested in IFR only.

You can get IFR at dbFX.

Open a demo and login with the demo user/pass here: https://secure.dbfx.com/secure/login.db

You can then make a script which will login and download the data.

Thanks Adal, that may prove useful.

For what it's worth... dbfx didn't have nearly enough of the specific type of news I'm looking for, Oanda has more than 10 times as much. So in the end I just created a macro which I run every weekend, which will automatically open the news item, print it to a file, close, move to the next, rinse and repeat. Set it to download 500 items and go do something else in the meantime. It works great as in FXNews I can filter to just get the keywords I'm looking for, then the macro downloads all the filtered results. And as I can download up to a week's worth of news, on the weekend I just download everything of interest from the past week rather than running it every day. Since I only want to use it historically, it being up to a week old is not a problem. Then I just need to get an app to browse quickly through all the downloaded files like you would with images, and I'm set.
