Economic Calender News - Best source?

Let me google that for you

:smiley:

If you’ve asked here a couple of times already and didn’t get a satisfactory answer, maybe you need to ask elsewhere. There are only so many active members here and those that had an opinion…gave it.:rolleyes:

It could be so much worse —
— he could be asking whether forex is gambling!

Hey ya guys! In regard to Mj2009’s question, what I use is Oanda news. I’m not sure if you can access it without an Oanda account though. But you can open a demo account and then just click on the ‘News’ tab on the left side of your platform and you’re good to go :slight_smile:

I hope this helped :slight_smile:

Hey Sweet Pip and Master Tang! I missed you in the chatroom today :frowning:

haha, well it depends what your definition of gambling is… :smiley:

I have a mini account but haven’t used or funded it yet, but actually I recieved 2 relevant responses in this thread and thanks for that.

Man the egos at babypips , lol, I would think that most here are millionaires, but probably not.

Call me crazy but I have an idea! How about, IF you don’t have an answer then you don’t reply!!!

… But then the ego complex can’t be shown, so that won’t work … As far as gamblingis concerned, you are making bets or buying currency? Think about it and don’t … Ut oh, don’t think to hard!

Hello,

Well I know I’ve posted this link before somewhere but here’s one: Economic Calendar | Forex Economic Calendar

Also: the trading platform (Delta Trading) has a live news feed (I can attest to the fact that the news feed is updated ALMOST instantaneously after a news release and there has been occasion when the news feed was updated a few split seconds BEFORE the likes of Bloomberg and CNBC but no it’s not the norm so don’t get TOO excited). Unfortunately: it’s only operational on live accounts.

Regards,

Dale.

Thanks Dale, I was just looking for the main source of news, it seems all these sites are just ‘middlemen’ for the news and I can’t find any official source for thenews feed.

And this question isn’t for trading, I would just like to know the official source, it just seems like, Alot of people just go with the flow and don’t understand the order of events.

No, I didn’t lol. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t recall asking for ‘any’ opinion, I was asking for a news source & a couple replies actually helped!.

[B]Let me google this for you![/B]

OH THANK YOU for pointing that out !!! I mean I was about to ask if you had an opinion, but now I don’t have to ask!

[B]Let me answer that for you![/B]

Lol, I indeed switch too often between news sites that I guess my opinion would make sense to anybody.

Beside of this I do of course care about everybody and anything. Particularly about anybodies money in my account. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ohhh … so you are one of the rare Gordon Gekko’s of Forex.

The Forex Millionaire?

& they say arrogance doesn’t make you money … HA I say, Buckscoder will prove you wrong!

Oh, so arrogance DOES make you money?

Man, now I know where I went wrong.

No, I just take care of money what others throw away. My heart is bleeding if I see how those heartless ppl throw their cute pips away. Those little pips have a feeling for that and then they come to me. Here in my account they find a real home and then they feel much better, because I do take care of them as nobody else does. :slight_smile:

Like I said, Arrogance makes you money. Makes you a millionaire, I mean look at your avatar …

It doesn’t say

  • “I’m full of myself” or
  • “I Can do it better then hollywood” or
  • “I show this avatar to let people know I’m a winner” or
  • “Yeah, I have to show this pic of Gordan Gecko to show who I am, Because I can’t be myself & I need to prove my success to everyone!”

It doesn’t say anything of that nature …

What it says is “I am a millionaire! & I am #1

God, what is your bank information? I might as well take my low earnings of only about $2,000 {no where near millionaire status} & deposit them into your account Or would you just rather have the 800ish pips I have earned? your choice champ.

While I am at it, I hope you have USAA because I will take my roth IRA savings & just transfer them to you …

Ha ha, my avatar. I guess everybody can interpret whatever he likes with my avatar. I just like the movie and I like to make pips. My former avatar mentioned: “Biggest loser”.

If you like, call me a loser. I have no problem with that. It just needs a little humor to survive in this shark basin of crazy forex. I do not want to become everybodies darling. Eat or die! :stuck_out_tongue:

Frankly, those forums are more entertainment than serious information. If I would believe what I read everywhere, I’d have lost my account long ago.

There is one rule and that is a very important rule: Winners play a lone hand. :wink:

Quoting one of my favorite movies words “symbolism”.

Biggest loser to gordon gecko … quite the transformation!

I didn’t call you a loser, actual you are a winner, I literally want to give you all of my earnings. Every last penny of all my accounts.

& for anyone to assume that this isn’t any form of entertainment, well that is on them.

1 rule: winners play a lone hand … ah that is BullS*&t, Some people are loners & some people are more social and team-players, that doesn’t determine success.

If you work hard and stick to the fundamentals, you are more likely to succeed, factors such as sticking to being a ‘lone hand’ only factor on an individual basis, but not as a rule of thumb for everyone. You are a loner & work better by yourself.

In my experience, people who are ‘loners’ have a control issue & need to make all the calls, this could be good or bad … again, just in my experience.

hey mj2009, i want a psycho-analysis of my avatar please! me next me next!

Well, your symbolism interpretation is yours. As I said, I have really no problem with that. It’s indeed not what comes from my intention. I see Gordon Gekko more as victim of the socialistic age and I do not want to step in his trail. I play fair, even with the government, although I know they are thieves.

It’s like looking at price charts. What do you see? Is what you see what is going on or is it what you want to see? :wink:

Regarding money and my account. I am a newbie, which I stated everywhere and I will be a newbie in 5 years, too. There is always something to learn. I do not know if you are kidding with your money or not. Right now I guess I have a probability higher than 50% to survive and make consistent profits. But that is not guaranteed. So, I do not manage others money. Beside of some very [U]very[/U] close friends. Sorry for that. I can just be responsible for myself, but I am hard to be responsible for others or their money.

It still needs the evidence that I will survive. Next year I could have blown my accounts. Nobody knows the future. My goal is tough. I want to get one billion dollars. As long as inflation is not too high. :smiley:

Regarding teams and loners: I am both, just in different topics and in different times. Teams have an advantage over loners in some topics and vice versa in other topics. If it comes to money I see way more advantages of loners than teamplayers. Sure, not for every loner. You need to have skills that set you apart from the herd. If you are a sheeple, you will hardly survive as loner.

However, all this hype, talking about team players, soft skills and all that is just that: A hype. No, a sick hype. You may have a good team or a bad team and the bad team will not become better while praying about soft skills. A really good team is where all members do their work, use their skills and are open to learn and are loyal in the best of its word. I am thankful that I could work with such teams sometimes in my life. Anyways, it’s not the average. The average is whispering workers behind their boss and silence if they get asked. [U]That[/U] is sick, not a loner with skills.

I need to know your previous avatar, the ‘transition’ stage is what I specialize in, for example … if your previous avatar is a ‘summer’ theme … then your new one would indicate to me ‘fall’.

This transition period is CRUCIAL for me to make a proper psycho-analysis.

The key is Synergy! and I came to that conclusion without having an MBA (if you can believe that!)
