    Poor mans Bloomberg Terminal?

    So an update, I decided for the near term to go back to Tradestation as its a rock solid platform, great programming options and a great fx feed....until tonight and found out they are getting out of fx and moving accounts to Oanda. Where that leaves software subscribers like me who knows will...

    Trading Platform Suggestion

    im using infront (goinfront.com) on demo at the moment - shaping up to be a more cost effective bloomberg - pricing is competitive and contract terms not as restrictive as bloomberg. Happy to share results of my testing if you would like. Depends on what info you want, I require news, fx and...

    Poor mans Bloomberg Terminal?

    so infront terminal is very good - testing still in progress. Money.net is also good but the charts seem a bit flimsy to me, its nice and cheap .... infront has quite a lot of broker intergations

    Poor mans Bloomberg Terminal?

    Good Question Pat, only personally speaking I don't like free software (used to work in IT and free software can be a curse) as I like technical support and updates (I know MT4 probably has this as well). My strategy includes some inter-market work, although I am a fx trader. Also its not that...

    Poor mans Bloomberg Terminal?

    Thank you Trading Spaces, I may check that out. Money.net is very promising giving a good inter-market view although the charting seems a tad primitive not sure of the trial is restricted in any way ? For example I'm struggling to find 4hr intervals....

    AUD/USD Weekly Swing Top Expected

    Tied up by line of work today - so hard to focus and place trades. However, as of London open Aussie and Kiwi were Long as currencys - so clearly no shorting today. Looks like Euro was getting sold off. Unsurprisingly Gold was up. Was looking to buy the Loonie but DXY was negative for me so...

    AUD/USD Weekly Swing Top Expected

    took a short on the aud/jpy as there was a lot of yen buying today, the dollar was mixed this morning...proved a richer vein to tap in, I got in at a rubbish price (due to having to go to work at my client site today) but still 20 pips up... still unsure about the overall direction...

    AUD/USD Weekly Swing Top Expected

    If its any help .... ive in the past been caught out on corrections in Gold and the Aussie - I have tried to avoid thoughts about guessing the top for a short and waiting for some confirmation, in this case there is a good couple of hundred of pips on offer down to the recent 8x low. Also...
