Bloomberg Terminal: Guide Exclusive

The Unofficial Bloomberg Terminal Guide: An Exclusive Insider’s Walkthrough

Classification: Internal Training Material / Exclusive User Primer Subject: Navigating the "The Machine" (Bloomberg Terminal) Target Audience: New Hires, Analysts, and Finance Transplants.


Module 4: The Excel Add-In (API)

The true power of the terminal is unlocked when you bridge it with Excel. This is the "Bloomberg Anywhere" philosophy.

  1. Formula Builder: In Excel, look for the "Bloomberg" tab. Use the "Real-Time Data" button.
  2. The Syntax: =BDP("Ticker", "Field")
    • Example: =BDP("AAPL US Equity", "PX_LAST") returns the last price.
  3. Historical Data: =BDH("Ticker", "Field", "Start Date", "End Date")
    • Example: =BDH("SPX Index", "PX_LAST", "01/01/2020", "12/31/2020")

The Killer Function: BQL (Bloomberg Query Language) If you are an advanced user, stop using BDP/BDH. Start using BQL. =BQL("members('SPX Index')", "PX_LAST") This formula instantly pulls the last price of every single company in the S&P 500 into your spreadsheet without freezing your computer.


3. MAP <GO> (Risk & Valuation Analysis)

The most underrated function. MAP visualizes your entire portfolio as a heat map of risk. It uses Monte Carlo simulations to show you exactly which position will kill you if the VIX spikes 10%. If you aren't looking at MAP, you are flying blind.

4. The HELP Button (Green Key)

Tap HELP <GO> twice. You’re connected to a former trader or analyst in under 10 seconds. They don’t read scripts. They solve problems. Use them.


3.3 ALPHA – Factor Backtesting Engine

Most users ignore ALPHA <GO>. Upload your own factor:

Ticker: SPX Index
Factor: 12M momentum minus 3M reversal
Period: 2010-2025

Bloomberg runs a full backtest with t-stat, turnover, and drawdowns.


GF - Graph Fundamentals

Standard charts show price. GF shows fundamentals. You can graph Debt-to-Equity ratios over time against the stock price to see correlation.

Module 2: The Syntax of the Gods

The terminal operates on a logical syntax structure: [TICKER] + [YELLOW MARKET SECTOR KEY] + [FUNCTION]

Example 1: Analyzing Apple Stock

  1. Type: AAPL
  2. Hit the <EQUITY> key (Yellow).
  3. Type: DES
  4. Hit <GO> (Green). Result: You are now on the "Description" page for Apple Inc.

Example 2: Analyzing a Government Bond

  1. Type: USGG10YR
  2. Hit the <GOVT> key (Yellow).
  3. Type: GP
  4. Hit <GO>. Result: You see a price chart (GP = Graph Price) for the US 10-Year Treasury.

4. Fixed Income & Credit Workflows (Institutional Grade)
