Topic: App to monitor financial world events - what are you using ? (Read 250 times)

Not sure if this was given already but the first thing that came to my mind when it comes to this matter is Bloomberg. I first see them in the local TV but I'm sure that we can also find them online. Next would be is the Yahoo finance. I always see this when I search something related to finances.

I like your initiative of scouting for these sources because this can greatly help you in your prediction or if what decision you are going to make before the movement in the price happens. Many of us may not really be aware with it, so thanks for giving us an idea or reminding us about it. So far, we are only busy on watching charts or focusing mostly on the technical part and not in the fundamentals.

Your view on single-source news reliance holds weight. A multi-pronged news digestion strategy is critical. Yet, your solution’s efficacy is doubtful. Reminders for pivotal dates may work for personal agendas, but for the ever-changing news landscape, it seems ill-suited. News is unpredictable and setting reminders seems impractical. Twiter, while buzzing with immediate updates, can also harbor misinformation and echo chambers. So, infusing our news habits with skepticism and analytical thinking, regardless of platform, is essential.

Following news from a single source or application can sometimes mislead us. You can search many things and add them as a reminder to your phone and set an alarm. The updates of some applications may be delayed and may cause you to receive vital news late. In order not to fall into such a situation, I recommend that you first make a note on your phone and set an alarm for important dates.

For current events, I often get news from the pages I follow on Twitter. The number of these pages is quite large and there is little risk of missing them. You can also choose this way.

I also spend most of my time on twitter following world news and crypto market news. Many people criticize Twitter for having too many bots, scams, and fake news, but we also need to recognize that breaking news is usually updated very quickly and possibly the fastest I know. You're right, if we follow carefully selectively, avoiding fake news shouldn't be too difficult.
Also, I think Reddit is also a good place to follow world news and also a very good place to judge the authenticity of the news.

The truth be told, Its best done manually through research as most apps only give you information to the extent of their coverage and relevance, if you need a widespread of information, you'd need to frequently engage in research that will give you a well covered decision process tailor made to suit your quest. Some of these news are not covering every information needed and even the ones that do in-depth reporting focus on a particular area of reporting.

I always Google, "World news now". Most times, I do not always set out with a particular news outlet in mind. I use Google and let it led me.  I refine my search keywords as I go to help me find the latest and most accurate financial news. At other times, I go straight to the news website. It could be that I have read a snippet or excerpt of their news article online. Maybe even a recommendation. Sometimes, my news sources are pure visual - YouTube and there are lots of them both independent and other news sources. By the way, is there a preference in this case...i feel that some popular news channels may be biased in their reporting due to regulations, but independent sources say it as it is. When I am on the road, I try listening to news on the radio too.

This is why you need to follow the right accounts. The one I can think of is “Autism capital” and their reports are almost always accurate and pretty timely. There are also a few other dedicated crypto news accounts.

There are many bots and many fake news however that’s only if you search by #Bitcoin but if you follow reliable users then you won’t have this issue.

The creation of apps, blogs, and websites is the work of human beings. When it comes to choosing between an app and a blog, you can determine which one is more reliable by examining the feedback and credibility of the platform. It's not about blindly accepting news circulating on apps, as I believe everyone tends to be skeptical about such matters. However, the original poster (OP) desires easier access to event updates, considering the high mobility of people nowadays.

Notifications from blogs or websites don't provide a solution either, as you would be delayed in making decisions when the news is released. On the other hand, having knowledge of event schedules allows you to anticipate what needs to be done in the near future more easily.

I haven't found one reliable app that could do everything i want, but i am using shared google spread sheet and calendar with a group of friends that we update from various sources manually. To put in halvings, upcoming legistlations, halvings, airdrops etc.

Twitter used to be fastest way to get news alerts, these days it's just a confusing place full of trolls and none of my filtering seems to make it better. So i stick with browsing biggest news sites that are focused on economy. Those are pretty much a matter of taste and there's no "right" one to follow.

You also might want to google "Economic Calendar" of your liking to follow.

A. who decides whats financially relevant
B. if an app finds this information, collates it, checks validity, then publishes it. the information is already redundant because smart people have already seen the information from source and acted on it

in short by the time the public find out about information, the institutions have already read about it, acted on it and are too late to respond to events that have already been countered by institutions that acted first

a prime example is with the commodities of wheat/orange juice..
imagine the public is waiting for a report about the crop yeilds of a harvest to estimate the scarcity of a commodity per season.. thinking that when a report says its been a bad year that it will send prices up.. however imagine institutions have been watching the weather patterns and stuff for months before. and so already seen its a bad season. and already bought while cheap sending the prices up 2 months ago... the report wont cause much more pump. because the pump already occured. and by the time the report is out the institutions that already bought futures contracts late spring are targetting their deadline to sell a few days after the official report announcement thus a flood of sales occur instead of buys. and the price goes down instead of up


so now while people were thinking that hearing some official report on some app would send prices up in late summer because the report went public on some app in late summer. yet the cause and effect of markets has already happened late spring. and so the late summer results are a price drop, not hype

Twitter has become a favorite place for bots and fake news, in which you will find all the information, but verifying its authenticity is getting more difficult with the days, so you need a manual search that may take a lot of your time, this difficulty increases if you are looking for information about altcoins and not about Bitcoin.

Twitter is a good distraction tool, as you may move from the news side to trends, which the site will try to show you, no matter how much you try to show interest in a specific topic, so as an investor who has limited time to review the news and wants to make decisions based on it, Twitter is not the ideal place.

You can never depend on an app. Because you have to accept what an app shows you. It can lead you in the wrong direction. So you can keep various blog web side notifications on. You will get messages when it is updated.

I don't want that, I'm sure knowing the world's financial flows is actually a big responsibility for those of us who know about it, because the flow is not always good, there could be dark channels used by individuals acting on behalf of officials who use fraud. positive things, it's better to manage your own finances than to know about world finances.

I don't think something like that would exist. You will have one bite from this or that news forum but to have all in all like you ask will be difficult if not impossible. You have to search online depending on the news item you are seeking for. I majorly rely on forexfactory com for a robust financial happenings in the world as it affects currencies and economics of the world. https://www.forexfactory.com/

I don't have an idea for that because I'm sure that the financial cycle is confidential, well, even though some finances can be published, only a few, some maybe only people who are trusted or work to get the proper information, because of that it could be related to state security, so it's better not to hold access to monitor financial flows, it can be a threat to ourselves if we use it incorrectly.

I don't normally use an app to get news, but I've recently been using Ground News because I liked the concept (they're trying to assess political bias of the coverage, make summaries, give varied news from many places around the world). You can choose your preferred categories there, as well as directly follow the category of Finance. I find it pretty helpful, although there are probably better options if you are only interested in financial events and not in a wider political climate surrounding them.

Yeah but the difference couldn't really be that much from the free subscription that you do with their newsletters which is just for free.

Most of these information are for free but you just have to spend time looking for them. So that's why people who like to get it even with a fee is normal for them and that's where they're saving time.

Not that bad at all but as I've said, the info might not really differ that much.

Practically I don't think you can have an app that constitute all these features at the same time, however you can always make use of the google to search on specific area where you needed information on, there are many apps that gives cryptocurrency news updates, bitcoin price and chart, there are other websites that are political news platforms, some are crypto platforms, politics and society, but i can assure you that all you could want can be gotten from the internet if you search through but you may not just have them all on thesame track.


You can try out news platforms as well on social media, but ensure that you research well before joining any page or group for an update because some can be as unregulated with the users violating the rules and making abuse of the use of the platform scamming members.

There are many other apps and websites available to suit various needs and preferences, I personally might look at money market developments there are several options to monitor financial events For example, Bloomberg, CNBC and Reuters as well as the Financial Times and occasionally monitor them on Twitter and Reddit.


As I mentioned above, I use it too but the noise and information overload of Twitter's fast-paced nature can lead to information overload, with lots of noise and irrelevant content. Maybe we should sift through it again and distinguish reliable information from rumors or misleading posts and Twitter there is also a posting character limit per tweet for information to be shared as a result, tweets may lack in-depth analysis and comprehensive context, which are essential for understanding complex financial events overall.

I use twitter. When you create an account select what sources you are interested in such as business and finance and you will get a good feed. You can also follow some posters who are in the crypto scene.

There is also coin desk and coin telegraph which you can use but keep in mind it’s delayed. Twitter is usually pretty quick, usually in a few minutes you will know why something happens while a news report will take a few hours.

Usually I see news information about the domestic or global economic world mostly from a television station, which every day presents news or developments on the rise and fall of currencies, stocks and the global economy. Maybe many already know about the television station that I usually watch, because it's not just a television station, but also the website and the name of the news company and the website.
namely CNBC. But I also don't only look at economic news only on CNBC, but there are also many websites that I often browse to find information about the state of the world economy.

So if you want to find a website or an application that contains economic news, all you have to do is search for it on Google and there will definitely be a lot of news coming out of the search results. But the most important thing is that you have to be able to research and filter the news, because there are always news-making websites whose information does not match the original situation. And if you really need a reference for news about the global economy, I would advise you to try looking at the CNBC website instead. Because I believe that CNBC's news is always up-to-date, and there are no lies.

Some of what I found through Google search for the keyword "economic calendar":
https://tradingeconomics.com/calendar
https://www.dailyfx.com/economic-calendar

I think the content of their presentations aren't too different,it's just one bullet point that doesn't give much information. You'll have to look up additional articles if you want details on the each agenda and some speculative views.

Do you just need to monitor financial world events or crypto-related events?
The best thing is the RSS feed. You can integrate it into the telegram bot and get notifications in your channel with customizing the news according to what you want, which is a better solution than relying on third-party channels or applications, in which the possibility of customization is often limited, or not as comprehensive as RSS gives you.

Just for crypto news, I prefer these two sites. You have an update on the expected news, and it may help you to anticipate a token price hike before it happens.

https://coinmarketcal.com
https://coindar.org/

there are some good alts for coinmarketcal, but consider that they all work with the same idea.

For apps about financial world events try checking this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bloomberg.android.plus&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1 it's up to you if you want to upload it to your mobile device.

But there are many others you can choose from, including Yahoo Finance and CNN money, it depends on you what your trip is.
Or do some research, maybe someone knows better than what I mentioned.

I usually do my financial research manually, but I have tried some apps before which I personally found to be useful, of course that mostly depends on the needs of each one of us. Take a look at Yahoo Finance and Google Finance. Speclially Yahoo, because it does not only offers news on traditional markets and values but also on crypto markets.

Google is similar but does not offer news as complete as Yahoo or Bloomberg do, they mostly just offer summary or prices and stock performances, also allow you to track your portfolio but I would not advice anyone to let Google know how much money one has personally invested on anything...  

App on Android & for Apple ios

Perhaps what you're referring to is CoinMarketCal.com. I often use this website as a reference for upcoming events related to cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin specifically, not for stocks. Keeping an eye on such developments is crucial as they have a significant impact on the fundamental aspects of a coin. By knowing about major events that will take place in the coming weeks or months, it can instill confidence in our decision-making process.

It's important to note that this event calendar relies on input from members. There are still a few submissions that are fake or untrustworthy, which can be identified by checking the trust score at the bottom of each event. Usually, submitters include valid sources, allowing other users to fact-check the event information directly.

It would be awesome to have a one-stop shop for all the financial events that impact the global market. While I don't have a specific app to recommend, I've found that a combination of sources can be helpful. I usually keep an eye on financial news websites, follow key influencers on Twitter, and join relevant online communities. It's like creating your own personalized financial event tracker. Happy hunting!

That's right, to analyze and look for conclusions we cannot see only from one source or two sources, because it is the same as you believe in things that have no recognition from other parties, manually and collect many sources and then analyze and we can see the conclusions Can be trusted or not about financial news, especially if it is formed in a graph and or only limited to the description can still be manipulated by news makers, and we only need to juxtapose and compare the same news in different sources.
Today we can see a lot of financial information media, as said, both from articles, journals poured on social media or websites, as an analysis must have many sources.

Using a subscription feature may be good because it will get the news update in detail from a platform, but I think it will spend a lot of funds, unless you work in data and financial information which then you have to make content about finances also to get the income is good, it might be good, But if you only see financial news as an analysis to make an investment decision factor I think too much too, because basically today information about financial news is also still a lot of free without having to take a subscription feature, you only need to wait for the platfom that gives news for free.

I agree to Upgrade, that's much easier. Although I know that it's gonna be easier if you're a busy person but having a few minutes of your time visiting websites like CNBC or any other websites that you prefer that covers those topics, news and updates that you need.

It's actually a good practice when you're doing it with your spare time because you'll discover a lot from these websites. And subscribing to their newsletter is probably one of those features that you'll like but it goes through your email.

I do it manually by searching through financial news for what's relevant at the time. The danger of relying on a single source is you get to see only what they show you and overtime can have a biased perspective or a limited view of things. Similar to watching just one news channel.

You can turn on notifications for financial blogs or social accounts which would inform you once there's an update for you to check.

Hey All,
Can you recommend website / app that monitors upcoming financial events that impact global finances ? Like example upcoming US FED interest rates decision on Wednesday, next year BTC halving etc. Is there an app that help keep tract, set mobile alerts etc ? What are you using ? I'm just wondering if there is one stop shop for that type of info vs. collecting all the knowledge from news, tweets, socials ...

Thanks
M
