i use platinum only and echo don's thoughts about pre-mkt. i have it auto-updating during day, but very rarely use it.
From what I see on their website, the advantage of the "trader" level is the calls. " Specific Technical Trading Set-Ups with Entry/Exit Points" I'm wondering if their calls are worthwhile. I figure since they have access to the news, they should be in a better position to make calls right?
I have Trader and like it. Sometimes I use the calls, but every month, I've had a "Pays for the service" trade out of a news item that hits Trader before it hits Platinum (at which time I'm covering to Platinum traders ) But if you're gonna do that, you better be set up and ready for it and quick... always enter with hotkeys. An example of this today is: Briefing Trader: 13:51 FCX Hearing Upgraded (Price 104.00) Briefing Platinum: 13:53 FCX Hearing Upgraded (Price 104.35 and heading back down) Like I say, you gotta be quick
This is a great example, thanks for sharing. I am not that quick right now so it looks like maybe I should get the platinum. FCX corrected but then when up to 105, so there was at least a chance to get in on the action for those who didn't get the trader news.
Thanks for the briefing.com comments... Is there a better 'pre-market' email service than briefing.com? I am looking for market calendar, asia closes, and pre-market index futures.... Now I am going to several web sites to find the info but believe there must be a good service that does this better than what I am doing. Thank you
