Any good news feeds?

Anyone using a fast and reliable news feed, especially for data?

Thanks

Pete

FXCM demo trading software contains a news plugin that is quite helpful - it gives support and resistance levels for the main money pairs. First you will have to download the demo software and then the news plugin. (www.fxcm.com)

thanks jurgens, is it fast? I'm fed up getting financial data too late and after market reaction, I know there are some feeds that put out the data as soon as it comes out.

Bloomberg used to be quite good but now they are slow as well, you have to listen to adverts about 'lupus' or some rubbish before getting crucial numbers!

The data and news that are received by the FXCM Demo software are realtime and the accuracy will depend on your internet connection. Also just remember that this is their Demo Software. I would say like Rob that its quite good. The only other realtime Demo software that I know of that contains a News plugin is Dealbook from GFTFOREX (www.gftforex.com).

GainCapital software (and the demo) has pretty good news feed, including multiple rumors from trading pits. Economic data are reported relatively fast, usually within 5 minutes after market starts to react to them.

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys, very much appreciated.

I'll try a few out and post the results.

In my search I came across a very useful site call www.alertfx where a user can set alerts to email or sms for just about everything. EMA crosses, price, and loads more variations that should prove useful to most technicians, heck it'll even remind you of the wife's birthday or your wedding anniversary! Best of all it's FREE!!
