Hi all!
I’m currently trading with a demo account with fxcm and was wondering whether there are any good news wire/feed applications (For windows or mac) out there? I am aware of Reuters Eikon and the likes but not exactly willing to pay the huge sums of money they want! haha. However I would love live, on the dot news as I’m an intraday trader and sometimes the news stories can drastically affect my trades.
Thanks 
hmmm, it’s hard to get immediate results unless your willing to pay.
anyway, you don’t need a desktop application, why not use a web-based version?
Thanks for the quick reply. I am willing to pay a little bit however can’t afford these powerful tools like Eikon. Is there any cheaper alternatives?
About the web based, that would be fine also, but i’d just like something that is constantly updating (news being pushed through) and possibly a sound for a new article!
Very hard to find that kind of feed to be honest. I thought you were just referring to the calendar, not every type of news.
I would be interested in this as well but from what I have seen from looking around, there is a trade off between cost/timeliness
does anybody know how much a service like eikon costs?
I think Eikon costs around £1000 a month!! But I may be wrong…
Could anyone clarify this?
