The gun is down. Has been since last night.

Disregard. Either it fixed itself, or it was fixed. Thanks either way :) Cheers

I see that there is a slot for the AUD Trade Balance on the FNG menu, but all it show is the 'previous' number. The title and the 'expected' are blank, and when I select "set clicks" nothing happens. Is this not a tradeable release? Cheers

Does this work? Is anybody having success trading news spikes with the news gun? Is it fast enough? If so, what brokers have fast enough execution and low enough latency to handle it? Cheers

Is anybody actually catching news spikes with the FNG? Is it fast enough? What brokers are working for people? Thanks

Anybody know a good free, or inexpensive forex news feed? I keep getting annihilated on trades because some event happens or some other unscheduled news comes out and price goes on holiday. Jarratt Davis has a pretty awesome sounding feed, but it's $200/month :/ Cheers

Last night, right at the London Open, EUR/USD tanked 80 pips in the first five minutes, but there was no news. Anybody know what that's all about?

Thanks, but that's not gonna help me. Brokers usually do no more than put up articles focusing on only a couple of economic aspects for a few currency pairs. They'll usually focus on the most recent big impact news, and little else (ie: EUR/USD broke through a significant level today, if the NFP...

Anybody know a resource where one can get a daily comprehensive fundamental breakdown of each currency? There are a million sites that post "fundamental analysis" articles, but they tend to focus on only one or a couple aspects of a currency. They are nowhere near comprehensive. I'm looking...

Peter, Thanks for the reply. I can connect just fine, what I'm trying to figure out is where the news feed(s) is traveling from, so i can get a rough idea of the latency (in milliseconds) between the news release and the autoclick. Have any insight on this? Or perhaps know somebody who...

Peter, I'm trying to devise an ultra-low latency setup for news trades. Does the receive its news feed from a single source, or multiple depending on the news? Either way, do you have ip addresses, or locations of this source(s). Thanks!

Throw me a bone here I'm not so much concerned with the overall strategy, ie entry points, news figure deviations, etc etc. What I can't figure out is the logistics of actually placing a trade. ie, how to open a trade in .000000000004 seconds, so that I actually catch the news movement...

I had a similar epiphany months ago, that news trading is the way to go, but it seems impossible. I failed for a few months anyway. Upon the release, price IMMEDIATELY spikes, and the majority of the pips to be gained are history. Brokers are just too slow to catch these movements. I've even...

Lately I've been attempting to incorporate Currency Indexes into my trading. It seems the overall value of any given currency would be good to know. However, being that the indexes are derived from the Currency Pairs, I'm beginning to think that an index is nothing more than another indicator...

Have some questions about the forces behind the charts. 1) Do currencies move alone, as pairs, or both? For instance, does the EURO change in value independently and thereby affect all EUR pairs? Or do the movements in the various EUR pairs change the value of the EURO as a whole? Or both...
