Creating a RSS Feeder for News

Recommended Posts

In this thread, I got to thinking that one could replicate the service being offered by a few of the news services by simply creating a RSS feeder for this purpose.

 

I'll be the first to admit that I really don't pay much attention to news, but a minimal RSS feed could be a nice little thing to have up each day, esp. to catch headlines like the one yesterday afternoon that helped give the market a reason to move.

 

Has anyone created a RSS feeder for this purpose? If so, what websites do you use for this?

 

Even if you haven't done the RSS part, feel free to list any pertinent websites that could be included in someone's RSS feeder.

Your preferred broker, Open E Cry should have this feature built-in to OEC Trader.

I know that. Thanks.

 

Back to subject on hand - I'm referring to making a separate RSS feed that will run on a separate computer from my trading terminal. As I've mentioned previously, computers are not scarce around here so this might be an option for me.

Do you want an actual RSS feed like what Google has, or do you want something that spits out financial news like on eSignal? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, the window that flashes news the second it hits the wire.

Run OEC on a different computer then, using your one of your demo accounts for their news reader.

Why would I run OEC purely for a RSS feed?

 

Do you actually think before posting FS? What is your hard on with me and OEC? Let's get this in the clear now b/c I am tired of you showing up in every OEC thread I create (and this one was NOT an OEC thread to begin with) and you bring up OEC. What's your deal? Why are you fascinated with me, my FREE demo accounts and OEC?

 

We get it - you can't qualify for any free demo accounts. Which means, you trade MAYBE a $5k or $10k account and you are overly bitter that OEC does not listen to your requests. You are bitter that guys like me can get things done, can get free demo accounts by sending one little email and get much better commission pricing then you could ever dream of.

 

So, can we leave it at that or do I need to constantly remind you of what a little piker you really are?

 

Seriously, this is getting very, very old. For some reason, you crave my attention and that of OEC.

You doth protest too much, Brownie.

 

If it's no bother to you, then simply ignore what I have to say.

 

Otherwise, you're wasting your own time venting here and in your private messages that you send me.

 

Cheers!

If you could explain your fascination with me and OEC, that'd be great. Otherwise, no need to constantly be looking for a reason to get my attention.

 

Now head back to pikerville.
