I would like to know how all the Sierra Chart traders ( and TT traders) solve the problem of not having any news feed integrated in the trading platform?
TV and Internet are just to slow for economic data like Treasury auction results, jobless claims ect.
Used to avoid news time, but now trading with Sierra without news, I am actually more profitable. I just concentrate on price instead of worry about the news
Due to time constraints, please do not PM me if your question can be resolved or answered on the forum.
Need help? 1) Stop changing things. No new indicators, charts, or methods. Be consistent with what is in front of you first. 2) Start a journal and post to it daily with the trades you made to show your strengths and weaknesses. 3) Set goals for yourself to reach daily. Make them about how you trade, not how much money you make. 4) Accept responsibility for your actions. Stop looking elsewhere to explain away poor performance. 5) Where to start as a trader? Watch this webinar and read this thread for hundreds of questions and answers. 6) Help using the forum? Watch this video to learn general tips on using the site.

Just my two cents : On the economic data that is released shortly before public announcement the fees are high and won't come from a news service that I know of, they come straight from the issuing party, on jobs numbers etc... bloomberg tv reads as it comes up, but those numbers that are released from gov't are released to media prior to public and often leaked as seen in market action - I personally do not believe that an edge is gained and a great deal of money is spent to gain a few seconds that you would not be able to react to anyways, the computers that feed the news also read the news from each other and trade from it before it reaches the eyes of a human being
: I have sierra charts and do not see a news feed option but haven't looked too much
The timeliest that I know of is to have a pit feed with someone that reads straight from the board as numbers are posted I think that Ben gives the numbers but it's been awhile not sure.... || Welcome to Traders Audio ||
If Big Mike contacts Ben Lichtenstein I believe he can give you a discount for futures.io (formerly BMT) subscribers with a code as I have seen him do that before , offering the group rate price , just as an FYI
