Bloomberg Terminal

Funny - that's not what all the equities traders at my firm were saying. Still, they could all be wrong I suppose......

Mate, on an £80 account you need returns of 1532% per month just to cover the cost of the terminal, never mind being able to 'up the stakes 5 fold'... get a grip on reality - Bloomberg Terminals are for institutional traders and very large/egotistical locals, not for guys SBing an £80 account.

It must be a wind up??

Skills mate - a £80 margin would not cover the trades I made on the 6th, it wouldn't have even covered the commission.........was it you that said these maths wasn't needed for trading ?

For those that carried out my earlier tip you should be up a bit, probably not enough to cover the commission, I put these on a few days ago so am in the money a little bit. !

you must be one big trader.


when you say bloomberg moved the S&P are yoou talking about the fibo retracement on the log chart? if so i think bloomberg and every other TA analyst on the planet saw that.

You said it, not me. Oh sorry, it was a 'notional' £80, that you had to add a few zeros onto to get the correct figure, yes?

Plop.

£80 wouldn't have even covered the commission? That's good news, because I know traders who can spend close enough to 50 times that much on commission per day, who still couldn't justify the expense of a Bloomberg Terminal.

Perhaps bloomberg guys understand the Technical Analysis a lot more, but you certainly get a good feel about whats going on and what the general feeling in is in the market.

The reason I need the feed is the analysis on the home builders took a whole day to do and I had to put a lot of numbers in the spreadsheet to do the comparisons, I use FT.com subscription but this takes ages to pull all the details out. I was hoping some of this data could be easily embedded into a spreadsheet and compared if only I had a better package.

Just to get the data prepared to do analysis takes ages and sometimes no trade comes from it as I cant form a view.
