Our team:

We have a lot of exciting projects, but here are a few of upcoming!

• User Defined Strategies – This is a very interesting project aimed to support trading of complex user-created spreads. It entails learning of how various exchanges support trading of this complex instrument and familiarizes you with how our clients use various strategies to execute their portfolio. These projects also provide great opportunities to collaborate across various teams within Bloomberg. {https://www.cmegroup.com/confluence/display/EPICSANDBOX/User+Defined+Spread+-+UDS}
