FXStreet alternative: one current reading for every instrument
FXStreet gives you people: a team of analysts, live coverage and more than a thousand posts a week. NewsPips gives you what all that news adds up to for the instrument you trade: one directional bias reading for each of fourteen markets, rewritten about once an hour, each driver linked to the story behind it, and an alert when it flips. Keep FXStreet for its analysts. Add NewsPips so you know where your pair stands without reading a week of posts.
FXStreet

NewsPips

- Scored per instrument
- One current reading
Keep both: FXStreet's analysts explain, NewsPips keeps each reading current.
What a thousand posts a week leaves to you
FXStreet has published market analysis since 2000, in fourteen languages. Its team covers forex, crypto and stocks, its economic calendar scores how far each release surprised the consensus, and Premium members can put a question to an analyst and get a live answer, in its Premium area or on Discord. For a trader who wants a person to talk the market through with, that is a real service.
A post, though, is written about a moment. It explains the CPI print, the central bank meeting, the move in gold that morning. By the afternoon more have been written, by different people, about different instruments. What you need when you sit down to trade is simpler and harder at the same time: where does the instrument on your chart stand now, given everything that has happened? Reconciling the posts into that answer is still your job.
An analyst's answer has the same limit. It is one person's read at the moment you asked, and it does not update itself when the next story lands. The read you acted on at nine may not be the read at eleven.
What NewsPips does with the same news
NewsPips does the reconciling for you, for every instrument, around the clock.
One standing reading per instrument. Fourteen markets: the FX majors, gold and silver, Brent and WTI crude, the dollar index, bitcoin and ether. Each carries a directional bias on a five-step scale from bearish to bullish. It is not a post that ages; it is rewritten about once an hour, so it keeps up with the news, and NewsPips tells you when it turns.
Every story, weighed for every instrument it touches. NewsPips reads the coverage of each event as one story, then records, for each instrument the story bears on, which way it pushes and why. When stories pull in opposite directions, the reading weighs them against each other, so you do not have to.
Reasoning you can audit. Each analysis names its drivers, each with a direction and the story behind it, the risks with their horizon, and what to watch next, down to the next scheduled release and its forecast. Each driver links to the story behind it, and each story lists the articles that reported it, linked to their outlets. The method is set out in full in how a NewsPips reading is made.
Ask, and get an answer from the record. NewsPilot, the assistant inside NewsPips, answers questions about any reading whenever you ask, and cites the stories it used. It already knows the analysis on your screen, your notes and your watches, and it can set a reminder or start a watch for you. It comes with Pro and Analyst.
One alert when the bias flips. When the reading on an instrument you follow turns decisively bullish or bearish, you get one message with the old and the new reading, the recent price move and what the news behind it says: by email or in the browser on every plan, and on Telegram with Pro and Analyst. No stream of headlines to filter.
A calendar that knows your instruments. Each release on the NewsPips calendar lists the instruments it moves and why, alongside actual, forecast, previous and impact. Filter the week to your pair and set a reminder before it prints. What a calendar row means is covered in the economic calendar, explained.
Watches in plain English. Ask NewsPips to watch for anything that could move oil out of the Strait of Hormuz. It checks every story from then on and tells you when one matches.
A record you can check before you pay. Every day NewsPips has read since July 22, 2026 is published on the markets pages, with the readings made at the time.
Eleven languages. Every reading is available in each of them, Arabic included, laid out right to left.

FXStreet and NewsPips together
The two answer different questions, and they work well side by side:
- At the start of the day, open NewsPips for where each of your instruments stands and why, and read FXStreet for the analysts' view of the session ahead.
- Around a release, follow FXStreet's live coverage. NewsPips folds the print into the reading of every instrument it moves, and lists them for you.
- Through the day, NewsPips keeps reading. A speech, a supply shock or a headline nobody scheduled goes into the reading of every instrument it touches, with no post to wait for.
- When the direction turns, the bias-flip alert reaches you by email, in the browser or on Telegram, with what the news behind it says.
If you want a person to talk a trade idea through with, FXStreet's analysts are a good reason to keep Premium. NewsPips does a different job: it stands watch over fourteen instruments every hour of the day, and tells you when one of them turns.
You can see it working before you pay anything. The free plan reads every instrument's latest analysis, sends bias-flip alerts on two instruments by email or in the browser and runs two watches, fifteen minutes behind. Pro takes the delay away and adds alerts on every instrument, Telegram, the full history and NewsPilot, with the first 30 days free and no card. Every plan is compared line by line on pricing.
See the readings before you decide
