Thank you for your reply jeff, here are my thought about this thread.

1.)indeed. sadly im not full loaded trader, i only got some little bucks in my brooker with only $10-$60 for each trade, so i wont get much $$ in a day since i living in develop country internet bandwith is very expensive its cost me $38-$40 per month for limited 500MB/month internet quota so bloomberg tv is not an option, but i use RSS instead from many news site's but none of them fast enough.

2.)Reffering to this yes, they all are expensives

so... im still being in this devilish circle for fundamentals needs.

im not being cooky for paying them(news sites) but i cant afford to pay them thats why, im very glad can be a forexfactory member how can i say its free and its backing my trade studies nicely

hi Ricky, thanks for the feedback.

as for your first question, there is not one spot that you can find the economic data and speeches. you have to know your way around the web. thats why managing an economic calendar is such a challenging feat.

there are two things you have to know. first, all countries have a government statistics website. second, all central banks have a website. it is on these two sources that you will find 90% of all information. the remaining 10% is scattered on various private statistics company websites. if you click the "read" button to the right of the calendar event, you may find a clue as to where the data came from.

to your second quesiton, the reason the "actual" is not immediate is because we dont have someone dedicated to the job just yet. one of the big things we want to do in the future is have real-time actuals, but as you can imagine, this would be a large undertaking and will take us to time to get going.

once again, i very much appriciate the feedback.
Relax and be happy.

There is some good information about fundamentals at saxobank.com you can read reports from four to five different banks. There's also a very detailed economic calendar, and you can receive streaming news. All for free, all you have to do is register and become a member, which is free. I'm posting a screenshot of the streaming news. And the economic calendar.

The information of Saxobank is really good.
Saxo Bank sends out daily reports (Forex Trading Strategies) to your mailbox, often twice and sometimes thrice a day, with lots of valuable background information, forecasts and actual pivot points.
One can receive a daily so-called Wakeup Call, with a concise summary of all major events of the day, with forecasts of trends. Each week, Saxobank sends out a "Weekly Market" report.

I find the analysts of Saxo Bank knowledgeable. Their interpretation did not always prove right, but they know what they are talking about.

Question #1 to read the full story. Simply click on the headline. You may have to ensure that pop-ups are not been blocked for that site.


Question#2 I cannot recommend anything in the way of their platform. As I have never downloaded it. It was simply a site that I believe gave good fundamental information for free.


Question#3 I haven't even read the documentation on the platform sorry.

I know of a service that conducts live trades of news announcements via
Yahoo Messenger mainly for announcements starting around 4:30 am EST
during the London session and also during the U.S. session. The trades are
made only if the announcement is a surprise. I know of another ff member
who recently joined the group and he said he is very satisfied with the service.
The moderator of the service said the other day he has a few slots available
and will closing them soon and there will not be any openings until later this year. The price for the service is very reasonable. To find out if any slots are still available, just PM me, and I'll give the web-site address to anyone who requests it. The service also includes the forex grail, which is a graph of the strongest/weakest currency pairs and runs with MetaTrader.

Talkin about fundamentals.. does any1 know a website where to find the influence of an indicator ? I mean.. for example, a higher actual number of home sales having a negative influence on the currency.... that part of forex I really don't understand???.. or sometimes the same monthly indicator, twice possitive but once a negative influence and once a possitive influence...

Confuses me in the way i have to play these indicators...
