Hi,

From your experience, what is the quickest way to obtain news/economic events results or decisions?

For example, when the US will most likely announce an interest rate hike on the 29th, where can I go and what can I do to have access to the official decision as quickly as possible?

I definitely recommend Trade The News, it is quite fast.... BUT, it is not the fastest service available. There are some other services out there (e.g. Bloomberg, Reuters, etc.) that are supposed to be up to 1 second faster. However, I refuse to pay those kinds of monthly fees.


TTN will provide you with audio and text bullets designed for 4X for around $200 a month. I think it's a bit less actually. If that sounds like alot of dough for the news, look up Bloomberg's prices.... my chin hit the floor when I saw their monthly fee.

Other people may do fine without audio, but I really need it to function. TTN gets you the audio too. Good luck.
ps- I do not own stock in TTN though it may sound like it.
Good luck.

Thank you,

I subscribed to marketwatch.com, what do you think of their service? I would imagine its not as quick (in regards to economic events decision).

Although I received an email alert this morning at 12:26 (GMT time) for the US Durable Goods Orders numbers scheduled for 12:30.

Is this any good?

the fastest way to get the released number is by finding out the official source. for instance, to immediately read the fed statement, you can go to http://www.federalreserve.gov/fomc/#calendars and hit F5(refresh) over and over around the time the number is released. for every economic indicator, there is an official source, but finding it takes some time.
Relax and be happy.

Hello,

I trade the market based on the news as well, I agree with what @Merlin says and I pretty much do the same. Also for some economic events, u can see the market manipulation ..the price seems to drift slowly to the opposite side collecting orders and the when the data is release the price shoots in the opposite direction.

The NewsImpact News Widget is by far the FASTEST news data feed made available to the retail traders http://next.newsimpact.com/lp/real-time-news

It is made specifically for news traders, compact format, sound notifications AND it displays the deviations.

Check a screenshot of a recent release, cute eh?

Merlin you are joking regarding the F5, right?

You remind me few years back when I was trying to get fast the latest NFP data from the department of labor FTP server ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/, I wrote a perl scripting hammering their FTP, it was like a DoS attack to them, sometimes I was fast... sometimes
