Default Trading The News

Hello,

I am interested in trading the news and though this would also be a good place to post for some answers since it deals with fundamentals.

1. Does anyone have any experience with using Forex Diamonds or Forex Live on the News(Dustin Pass) services?? if so which is better?

2.Does anyone know of any companies that could provide forex news releases numbers direct and in real live time?

3. Does anyone know of a broker that is good to use for trading the news (little slippage) ?

Any help in these q's is greatly appreciated. Happy Trading

Have used forexdiamonds for over a year and have just renewed, happy with this service which is quicker than other providers

2.Does anyone know of any companies that could provide forex news releases numbers direct and in real live time?

Reuters and Bloomberg will provide this (very expensive), trade the news is good (much more reasonable price) but debatable if you need this if you have a service like diamonds

3. Does anyone know of a broker that is good to use for trading the news (little slippage) ?

You have to be realistic here. If the market is moving and liquidity is drying up there is no way a broker can get you in without slippage on a market order. I use MB Trading on those rare occasions when I enter a news trade but I never do this on a market order its an invitation to get royally screwed
