Bloomberg Unveils New Tools for the FX Market
January 12, 2009
- Bloomberg FX Dashboard Provides First-Ever Customization for FX Traders
NEW YORK, January 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg has launched FX Dashboard, a new pre-trade function that for the first time gives foreign exchange traders access to a broad range of analytics, data and news seamlessly integrated with trading capabilities. Now, market participants who are enabled for commission-free FX trading on the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL(R) service can click on the FX Dashboard to initiate a trade on a given currency pair or forward tenor. The new function is accessible on the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL service via the function XDSH < GO >.
"FX Dashboard marks the next generation of capabilities for FX trading and analysis. This new function provides highly detailed and customized views until now unavailable in the marketplace," said Philip Brittan of Bloomberg. "FX Dashboard allows users to select, build and monitor custom views of the FX markets using real-time prices, technical indicators, price action analysis, high/low analysis, implied and realized volatility matrices, standard deviation cones and a host of other metrics."
Users can select from a large range of predefined views or build their own proprietary views from Bloomberg's robust offerings of FX market data including spot, forwards, implied volatilities, realized volatilities, risk reversals, realized skew, butterflies, realized kurtosis and GARCH volatility across a comprehensive universe of currency pairs.
In addition to being able to retrieve and monitor important fields such as change on day, moving averages, and high and lows, users can form custom measures including spreads, sums, ratios and any ad-hoc equation using potentially multiple inputs. These new measures can be imbedded into additional new measures.
"FX Dashboard gives traders unparalleled flexibility and access to the most important information they need to monitor and assess the foreign exchange markets," Brittan said. "Bloomberg users will benefit from the ability to focus on the information they deem most important in a function that allows them to build their analysis, monitor it and click and trade."

Spooz Launches Strategy Control Dashboard for SpoozToolz(TM)
Wed May 14, 2008 8:00am EDT Email | Print | Share| Reprints | Single Page[-] Text [+]
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Spooz, Inc. (OTC: SPZI) announces the release of powerful new
strategy control features for SpoozToolz that empower brokers and
traders to run, monitor and manage multiple automated trading
strategies simultaneously:
-- Rapid development, deployment and production of algorithmic
trading strategies;
-- Connectivity to exchanges, brokers, data, and third party
applications; and,
-- Control of multiple strategies and their associated risk and
profit targets.
SpoozToolz utilizes Microsoft(R) Excel(R) as the Graphical User
Interface (GUI) because it is the global standard for financial
analysis and trading decision support. There are 440 million
installations of Excel globally and it is supported in more than 50
languages. SpoozToolz adds toolbar functions to Excel that enable the
trader to quickly and easily create quote and click oriented trading
screens, algorithmic and "black-box" systems. SpoozToolz enables the
trader to bring concept to production in hours instead of weeks or
months. Add-on modules provide specialized functionality in the form
of SpoozChartz(TM), Spooz AutoSpreader(TM), and Spooz CPM(TM) (Custom
Pricing Module).
Connectivity to market data and execution through broker are
accomplished via the ToolzKit(TM). The ToolzKit renders the SpoozToolz
middleware highly extensible by enabling the trader with the ability
to create adapters to connect to an Excel enabled execution, order and
position management. A test application GUI is included to aid the
trader in connecting applications to SpoozToolz or connecting
SpoozToolz to a wide selection of vendor price feeds, broker feeds or
execution gateways. C# scripting capability is available in the
ToolzKit for low latency strategies and systems. AlgoServer(TM) will
eventually provide the trader with the ability to co-locate low
latency solutions closer to exchanges for low- latency execution.
The Control Dashboard addition rounds out the platform's robust
functionality by giving the trader the ability to rapidly deploy
strategies and manage multiple automated trading strategies
simultaneously. Although Strategies may be developed in Excel, the low
latency execution of orders is performed in the SpoozToolz C#
middleware. The Control Dashboard displays activity, position, fills,
and status of each running strategy as well as customizable risk and
profit algorithms.
Due to the virtually unlimited flexibility of SpoozToolz the
market scope is tremendous. Any exchange listed financial instrument
can be traded; including stocks, futures, options, ETFs, Forex, cross
asset class spreads, and uniquely customizable, and tradable synthetic
instruments.
With the addition of the Control Dashboard, SpoozToolz befits
hedge funds, brokerages, proprietary trading firms, as well as the
independent trader because it empowers buy and sell side market
participants to create and trade custom synthetic instruments.
SpoozToolz is currently being deployed to brokers and proprietary
trading firms in the Chicago area. Distribution to independent traders
will begin later this year.
