I think the link is http://www.crbtrader.com

I only use the free site, but I love it for news and ratios among other things.

For macro, a lot of it comes from ideas I get reading the economist or FT. Calculated Risk is a heavy weight in the sector and the general blogosphere does a good job at content curation. After that, you usually have to get your hands dirty and get census / bls / fed / etc data and hack your own models. Losing the centralized data sources and especially the scrubbed data that bloomberg has will be painful, but you’d be surprised how easy it gets after you have your go-to series all cleaned up and saved. All it takes is some updating whenever you need them. It’ll never be as nice as a live-export to excel from bloomberg that automatically updates, but oh well.

Certain platforms have a lot of nice details, I’ve heard nice things about ThinkOrSwim. I’ve used TradeStation and know people that SWEAR by it for charting, technicals, back testing, historical price-data and all sorts of custom charts. it’s highly customizable and the embedded programming language makes it easy to create new functionality.

I do my fundamental analysis in a highly primitive form. 10Ks 10Qs, legal pad, highlighter and then I type it all up or put it into a spread sheet. I like working on paper and scribbling notes on it.

iVolatility has a free version that can be nice in a pinch when you need some extra info before making option trades.

Apart from that bloomberg.com has a bunch of nice functionality, Yahoo! Finance is improving by leaps and bounds. Opening a $100 account at fidelity and letting the money sit in a mmkt / mf allows you to get free access to a lot of their research functionality (and you still get to keep that $100!).

Interactive Brokers has amazing margin rates, great data sources and a good bond inventory

TRACE and MSRB have tons of good info too. I hear the Economist has a data service, but it’s outside my price range since I would use it more as a toy than for work.

You could also call up Barry and ask how much they charge for Fusion IQ data…

To go through your list:
->Current and Historical fundamental data.
Have it now but within the next month we’re doing a data provider update that will make this more comprehensive and accurate.
->Real time equity prices.
Have it through BATS but Y!F is probably better for this.
->Price histories.
Dont have daily historical prices yet but this is coming within the next month.
->Industry fundamental data (I wish, but don’t have to have it)
Have it, but within the next 2 months this is going to get an update which will make things like industry profit margins more reliable (right now we do averages). We’re already pretty good for things like industry MC, Revs, Incomes, etc
->Reasonable summaries of common ratios and growth rates. (If need be, I can calculate them.)
Have it.
->Some economic data (but I can probably cobble that together myself)
Within the next 3 weeks we will be adding comprehensive coverage of economic and market indicators from the Fed, S&P, CBOE, ADP and possibly a few other sources.
->Some technical work (money flow, RSI, intraday RSI, but that’s just a nicety, and I could do it myself…)
No firm plans for this. Might do RSI within next 3 months.
->International economic data (dreaming, I know, and I can do without it)
We can do this if you can point us towards whose data you want (World Bank? IMF? EC?).
->Commodities, Futures (but I could do without it)
No plans for this.
->Option implied volatilities (but I could do without it)
No plans for this.

You could likely get most of what you want for free. Pity that you’re a bond trader and not a PHP coder. A lot of data (say from Edgar) could be mined automatically. Closing prices could be mined over night the same way. You’ve got me wondering where I’d need to go to mine (near) real time quotes.

I see a business opportunity here.

Also read Seeking Alpha – just check the titles each day at:

I believe it can do the same with US stocks.

The paid version is AUD23 a month.

It has all the screens and indicators you can poke a stick at, most of them available in the free version.

Definitely worth a look!
