    my net

    Lol, I guess you have to learn how to read these blotters... (Hint, if you look at the SEC fee and know how much they charge, you should be able to see that the values in the P&L boxes are not as huge as they may look at first sight...) But consistency looking ok though! Keep up the good work.

    getting rid of grey area in excel charts

    Profu, I don't have experience with linking bloomberg terminal into excel, as I do not use my bloomberg for data in that way, but it should be quite easy using DDE. (I don;t think Bloomberg uses RTD :( ) When I did a quick check, I did find out that you need an EXCEL-Add-Inn for this...
