I wonder how many in da thread actually know how to trade the news. The claims here as if they're fact kinda bothers me but I am gonna wisely keep to myself.
I am not trading news, however having fast acces to the release of an unexpected event, Trump tweet, information about a terrorist attack, ... Can save you a ton of money. It has been quiet lately, but when the Trump vs Kim thing was going on for example, it was nice knowing what was going on as it happened and not an hour late since the market reacted heavily to it multiple times.
I ain't gonna tell ya the sources cuz it's not my thing to give free stuff away. But I can save you time and tell you you won't find real-time news anywhere for free. If you ain't trading news on individual stocks than Yahoo Finanace is just fine imo. That 5-10 min lag time isn't gonna make a huge difference. It'll take some time for the market to react to an event.
Where did i ask for any sources? I have my own sites that i use, and there are some real-time news sources out there that are for free, however they do not cover all the news a trader might want. Even twitter can be a great source for general news. Of course not ultra fast, but as i mentioned before in this thread, if you want ultra fast news one will have to pay a lot of money. My posts are not aimed for trading based on the news, more like knowing whats going it which might help to protect positions.
You're right for a full 10 minutes I mistaken you for OP Btw, that is false... Might've been true 10 years ago.
You know how ridiculous and immature you sound. Why the hell are you on this site and replying? Are you telling me that you never got pieces of information or advice that has helped with your trading? Did you pay for that information as well? No offense but what a little bitch
Twitter will have all news as fast as most news sites , Twitter is the source of some news for news sites . Tweetdeck is a great way to organize twitter and you can setup notifications
