MetaTrader & news

[flakac]

I use MetaTrader. I have a demo account (Alpari) but I don't receive any news into metatrader. Is this a technical problem or can you recommend a broker which provide news to demo account? I have tried some other brokers but I don't receive any news to. Please advice.

Thank you for advice. However, does a Saxobank use MetaTrader?
I have downloaded their platform and it seems it isn't based on MetaTrader. Also, I haven't found any information about API on www.saxobank.com...

See thread "Saxotrader pros & cons" in Forex Brokers forum of this board before conducting any business with Saxo Bank. Check elsewhere, too. I say that because Saxo ripped us off. Also, it holds itself out as accountable to a regulator when in fact it is not accountable at all. I know. When it burned our account, we sought help from Saxo's so-called Danish regulator. No luck, not even the courtesy of a meaningful reply. The regulator, Finanstilsynet (the Danish name), told us that Saxo is protected by confidentiality even from requests to the regulator from Saxo's own customers.

You are too sensitive, Chood. They are just interested in Saxo's news plug-in, not Saxo's dealing.

Get a demo account with fxcm/refco and install the news plugin.

Good, glad to hear that.
