About Trading News Terminal

A real-time financial news terminal built by a trader, for traders — to turn the firehose of market news into clear, actionable signal.

What Trading News Terminal is

Trading News Terminal (TNT) is a real-time financial news platform for active forex, futures, crypto and macro traders. It brings the market-moving information that usually sits behind expensive institutional terminals — a live news wire, an economic calendar, a squawk box, a central-banks tracker and integrated charts — into one fast, zero-clutter interface.

The core idea is simple: in fast markets, the edge is in seeing what matters first, and ignoring what doesn't. TNT classifies every headline by impact (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW) so you can react to the releases that actually move price and tune out the noise. The Basic plan is free forever; the Pro plan removes the delay and unlocks the full professional toolset.

Why we built TNT

Most retail traders are forced to choose between two bad options: cheap news feeds that are slow, cluttered with ads and impossible to filter; or institutional platforms like Bloomberg and Refinitiv that cost tens of thousands of dollars a year. There was no honest middle ground — a professional-grade, real-time terminal at a price an independent trader can actually afford.

TNT was built to be that middle ground. Every feature exists to answer one question for a trader sitting in front of the market: "What just happened, how much does it matter, and what should I be watching next?"

The team

Luís Barata

Founder

Luís is a forex and macro trader with 13+ years of experience trading European session opens and U.S. data releases. He built TNT out of his own daily workflow — the tools and the news discipline he relies on to trade economic releases and central-bank decisions.

He writes the guides on the TNT blog and oversees how the product sources and classifies the news. You can read more about his trading background at luisbarataforextrader.com or connect on LinkedIn.

How we source and classify the news

Trust matters most in financial information, so we are explicit about where our data comes from and how it is handled.

News sources

TNT aggregates headlines from established financial news agencies and primary sources — including official regulatory feeds (e.g. SEC EDGAR), central-bank communications, and major newswires. Headlines are surfaced as they cross the wire; the Pro plan delivers them with zero added delay, while the free Basic plan applies a short delay.

Economic calendar data

Economic-calendar figures are drawn from official statistical agencies — among them the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the European Central Bank (ECB), the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) and equivalent national bodies. Each event carries a HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW impact rating and shows the actual figure against the consensus forecast as soon as it publishes.

Classification and oversight

Impact classification combines rules-based logic with AI-assisted tagging, kept aligned with how the market actually reacts. The product and its editorial guides are overseen by the founder, an active trader, rather than generated and left unchecked.
