A good retail broker can gain advantage by minimizing the time lag in real time information flow to retail investors vis-à-vis institutional investors. One way to achieve this is by providing access to clients with timely and accurate access to all major economic and other market moving announcements / data. - In order to minimize this disadvantage, many broker dealers provide economic calendar and news flows on their trading platforms. - We have developed two distinct products – Economic Calendar and Economic News to meet this requirement.
