news data providers

Eikon has a built-in screen shot tool in the main menu. The econ data is on the econ screen ("EM")

 

Where does the file from the screenshot end up on your pc?

 

I do not save screenshots, just copy to clipboard. What does it have to do with economic news releases? Anyway, I stated it is in real time.

 

No figure at 2:15 gmt

 

you are in the news section, I told you that you need to pick up econ news releases on the EM screen. Type "EM" on the main screen and it loads the Economic Monitor. If not then our versions must be different.

 

Are you getting daily charts? Mine have disappeared since friday.

 

At this point I recommend you contact your sales contact. You seem to not yet be familiar with some of the very elementary Eikon items. They have plenty training videos and your sales contact should be able to get back to you promptly.

Fyi, yes I do get annual, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, minute, second, tick charts. And I have full access to the Excel RTD functionality and also have programmatic access via their .Net C# API. Please ask your sales contact for follow-up questions.

 

I had the range set to this quarter which started on friday. Change to best fit under range and everything is ok.

 

What does everyone use for Options data?

 

I use Benzinga PRO for unusual options activity, market chatter and their audio squawk service. From what I found they are the best news service for the price. Trade the News is great but its 350 a month.
