Hello, I used to subscribe to DTN ProphetX with the best quality ag news but I realized I don't need everything on a real time basis, just the most important piece of news.To save a bit, I can simply check all commentaries and cash market datas on different websites. The kind of news I am looking for are the global economic news with influence on commodities ( NAFTA, North Korea, Fed...) and the main policy developments for each market( RFS for ags, OPEC Meetings for energy...). I would like to be able to put alerts when certain words pop up. As I use IB as my back-up broker, I am considering simply subscribing to Reuters Feed( 65$). Do you think it will be enough? Do you know another feed more suitable with IB? Do you know another standalone feed ? Thanks.
Metastock xenith is rebadged Reuters Eikon for $99 to $150. The odd headline will not give you the story but you get all the reuters alerts at the same time as people paying 10x the metastock price. Try the worldwide futures package. https://www.metastock.com/products/realtime/xenith/?overview
The problem with DTN is you have to subscribe to prophet X to get their news. There is no other way to get it. Has some of you tried Platts products? I guess they mustn't be cheap but they have tailored products depending on what you need. Seriously, I just need a commodity news feed with alerts when words pop-up, there must be a way to get this without paying 500+$ per month, right?
