I would never use a platform for the news. If I want basic news, I can open a TD account with very little money and get basic news for free and trade on another platform.When I traded full time, I paid for a new accumulator. It was the best way to monitor news live and do searches. I used Newsedge. Bloomberg is "better" but $2K/month and hard to use.
