tradethenews is very good, unfortunately it is out of most peoples reach at 2k per month. but if you daytrade a good amount, its worth the price.

Trading the news

i see what you are saying, and i agree to an extent. but the futures do change, many time drastically, so why does it hurt to attempt to predict the change?

btw, i agree with your comments about ECNs. they are great. soon i think the entire trading world will move the the ECN setup. if there is sufficient liquidity there is no reason for a middleman.

the real problem with these box options is that once you buy them, there is noone to sell them back to except oanda!!! its a one sided market, like a casino, where the odds are fixed against you. you can only play against the house, you cant bet ...

Trading JPY pairs

this is the best case for the dollar bulls out there....

CPI and Core CPI
