Anyone able to recommend a reliable and fast market news service subscription?
thinking $50 a month ball park
Ideally would cover US, EU and AUS markets.

thanks

I used to use them, but not anymore. Trading strategy is different.

Get burnt by that big move last night? :

slightly singed, but this is not my reason for wanting it.

before you changed strategy did you find the service adequate?

Yeah it was adequate (but i used the voice & text version). On the voice version they remind you of news releases coming up so you remember not to enter some big trade right before a major news release. They also give you updates on what general markets are doing, I found this useful because I didn't need to have heaps charts open to know what was happening.
They also tell you what people are saying in different speeches (e.g. they report anything of significance that Ben Bernake says when he is testifying).

One of the other reasons it might be useful is if you plan to get into Propex, they use the same service.

A downside is its only really useful if your trading major instruments. If you are trading something like a BRL/TRY currency cross, do not expect it to be of any real use.
