Bloomberg ENG

A couple cheat sheets with useful functions and their shortcuts can be found in the Home section. 

Some of the functions used in this section:

• GP (Line Chart) — chart securities and add various indicators,
• GF (Graph Fundamentals) — visual analysis of company's fundamentals,
• GC (Graph Curves) — chart yield curves and see how interest rates move over time,
• G (My Graphs and Maps)  — access your saved custom charts,
• HS (Spread Analysis) — visualize and compare the performance of two securities.

Graphing yield curves can be found in the Examples section of Countries and sovereign data.

By right-clicking on the chart canvas a new menu opens. By choosing Copy/Export Options a few options appear:

• Copy Data to Clipboard: copy the table of data that has been used to draw the chart, including the technical indicators used, you can then for example paste the table to Excel,
• Copy Image to Clipboard: copy the image of the chart as seen on the screen,
• Export Image to PDF: downloads a PDF file with the image of the chart,
• Export Vector Graphics File (SVG): exports the image in vector form.

Some tools for working with the chart can be found from the toolbar on top of the chart canvas. For example, selecting Annotate pops up the annotation palette on the left side of the chart, from which various trend lines, projections and geometric shapes can be included to the graph.

We can also use one of the % Change or Net Change options to quickly determine how much the price (or any indicator displayed in the chart) has moved in selected time.
