Please try the 'news topic chooser' in TWS. The underlying for Reuters general international news is Reuters:G.
Is IB's newsfeed any better than it was in 2008? I haven't looked. Any comments welcome. So I won't have to look myself.
all right! given the quality of other things (such as customer service ^), it did seem that something was missing... I tried it and it is good that I can choose topics, say for instance, news on 'asia coffee' or 'cuba' or 'short track skating' etc (full reuters list). AND you can also add yahoo headlines, and others.... in addition to all news relevant to individual equities you may be following to take a look see http://www.interactivebrokers.com/e...ndamentalanalytics/the_news_topic_chooser.htm
