Cons
  • Sources. In Bloomberg, when you click on a figure anywhere it leads you to the source. That is a great feature, as in finance everything has to be backed with the original source.
  • Cannot always find the needed information, the menu is too complex.

Alternatives Considered
While Bloomberg has a much more comprehensive view of the markets and typically has more up-to-date information in terms of overall news, Cap IQ is easier to integrate into existing financial models, and the formula builder included with the Excel plugin makes it easy to pull relevant financial data as well as update it based on a specific time frame.

The functinality and technology is similar on both platforms. From my personal point of view, TV is more appealing visually and easier to navigate as it seems more intuitive than MT5 or MT4. There is plenty of community feedback and and customer support on paid subscriptions from TV.

Return on Investment
  • The breadth and depth of the company's financial data set are what sets it apart as the finest in the industry.
  • Having the ability to pay the monthly fee online is a major benefit. Neither is it very high, but I wouldn't characterize it as low, either. It's quite economical.
  • Data quality and accuracy are what set it apart from competitors.

  • Trading is a peculier activity so this metric is purely subjective and depends on each trader's experience.
