Can you name a few brokers that in your opinion are good or at least better for news trading than those on the list ?

The Best News Trading Broker

Nowhere in Felix's message does he say that he's noticed that trader's losses on a particular platform. If the story is true, it's obviously come from soemone who works for JP Morgan or someone else who has some inside information.

Are you using a currenex broker yet or are you still with FXSol ?

Great feature. Thanks.

I cant see any revision feature. Only previous, forecast and actual. Or are you talking about that little window showing the number when its released??

Point taken that you do not want to share your trading strategy which must be an arbitrage play. But no arbitrage will last forever so just like news trading if you have an edge, make the most of it. You have mentioned the pitfalls of news trading ...

Let's Trade The News V 0.4 !

I don't think that there is any trader that has not blown his account at least once or several times. I did too. But if you are blowing an account of $ 300-$500, then consider yourself lucky that you have paid relatively small change to learn this ...

blew out another account...Just venting...

Regarding the post above, I dont think that ACM is an exception or a better broker at all. I dont use them but some traders have reported spreads of 40-50 pips at news time using ACM and also some have been put on manual execution when they start ...

Which brokers offer both of these pairs of GBP/AUD and GBP/NZD?

NZD Interest Rate Statement

NZD has rallied 50 Pips from its lows even with rates steady.

NZD Interest Rate Statement

You need nerves of steel to trade the news. I was caught long in the initial spike but had time to close this long position and reverse for a sell GBP with result of +34 pips. Phew........ Lesson: Be extra careful when conflicting news are ...

AUD/USD seems to be a slow mover after an initial small spike or fall. Something to keep in mind next time depending on the numbers. I mean it seems a real possibility of entering AFTER the news.

AUD Quarterly CPI Jan 23

I hate trading CAD news as most of the time there is just enough of an impulse either way to take in your long or short straddle for a loss. I made + 2 pips on CAD CPI and luckily did not straddle the Retail Sales.

CAD CPI and Retail Sales Jan 23

When you look at the 'order board' it might pay to look closely at the options expiries for the day and where they are likely to be supported or defended. There is no foolproof way to look at it though as sometimes options players get overcome by ...

Price movement as a function of Supply and Demand

Price is the interaction between demand and supply; I dont think that banks can change price as they please as it depends on the orders in the market. Banks may buy and sell for their own account but they also execute large orders on behalf of ...

My trade cockup - UK retail sales

That's exactly what the liquidity providers were trying to achieve. Traders losses are their gains.

My trade cockup - UK retail sales

If you look at cable these last few days, on last few announcements it has spiked or fell in the direction of the news, then reversed well below pre release price and then after slowly gone back in the direction of the news. You may think that this ...

My trade cockup - UK retail sales

The market is ever changing. This complete reversal also happened with cable yesterday after the CPI announcement. Remember the initial drop and subsequent move up yesterday that could have been attributed to the strong cable uptrend. This time it's ...

My trade cockup - UK retail sales

The craziest thing is that one minute before the news both the NZD/USD and AUD/NZD moved down at the same time when they are supposed to go in opposite directions. The AUD/NZD moved down 50 pips in the wrong direction before moving back up on news ...
