Quote:
Just like Bloomberg this is coffee and cakes at break-time stuff, not a useful tool for an active fx trader.

You're paying for a service of which only a small proportion will help your overall view of the market, and you can get the same for free elsewhere. Don't get taken in by the idea that it might make you feel connected and more "real" as a trader. If you're watching coverage from the Geneva Motor Show and an analysis of Auto-Markets generally, those pips are getting away!

You want news when it comes out, not a chat about it 5 minutes later. You want genuine analysis that can help you with today's trades right now, not what may or may not happen in 6 months time.

Switch off and TRADE! Then, when you've booked some pips, kick back and watch CNBC like I do! Good Trades everybody.
