Live audio market squawk. who's the best?

Any one currently subscribed to an audio news service?
which one?
whats it like?

RANsquawk are good

TradeTheNews were pretty good when I trialled them last year.

heard mixed reports on sigma squawk recently, but have never listened to them myself so cannot comment from direct experience.

Im currently using sigma now. The man sounds like a pub dj, he really does make me laugh. Is trade the news an american or english person behind the squawk? I think there alot cheaper also sigma charge £250 plus vat a month. I believe there fast but wont really know untill i have someone to compare them with.

Used to have a live voice feed from the S+P futures pit once. Was hideously expensive but worth it just to hear the fastest talking guys in the world. Sounded like a commentary from the 3:30 at chepstow. Unreal.

So did listening to the noise give you any advntage on the market?

lol, yeah, thats sorta what I'd been told - Batesy and his "gewd mawning, gewd mawning laydeez and gentz..." comedy commentary.

RAN are a similar sort of cost. TTN was around $200 per month, but what I thought was pretty good about them was that they had multiple channels that you can select some or all of - so if you're only trading fixed income, you dont have to listen to all the stoxx, equities related commentary etc. unless you want to.

I think TTN runs a trial period anyway so check them out if thats the sort of thing you're looking for.

lol you aint herd the half of it
this afternoon he said " the american markets is aboout to open ladies nd gents so tighten your seat belts and get ready for the ride" And he changes the pitch of his voice whenhe makes anouncments lol he's well funny

Was good at a time when the S+P and the greenback were highly corerlated in the very short term (i.e. in quiet times when there's naff all else going on). Would use it to basically influence a small lean on my pricing as a market maker in FX. Not much more than that really. Doubt I'd use it again but was amusing for a while.

edit: nb this wasnt really a full service comentary type thing - just raw price action from the pit deilvered at pretty much realtime speed (hence the racing commentary analogy).
