Bloomberg like

hi,

i’m looking for a free bloomberg/reuters 'like tools to follow financial markets
Did someone heard about a free tool or a cheaper tool for retail ?

You will not find a free service that comes close. Trade the News at $50 per month is reasonable

Tony,
i have heard some about the paid news services. do those really help to trade currency? and give you edge? please do not come to teach us : " you need do this and that first before …"

TIA

It depends what you are wanting from it. I dont trade directly news movements (ie spikes on announcements) but need to know what is happening on the wires in order to make some sense of price movement. Unexpected announcements causing major movements are particularly important to know about. This is what fxbid was asking about
