Will the function codes feel familiar?

Many will. Codes like GP, FA, N, TOP, ECO, EQS and CACS open the functions you'd expect, and you can always search by name if a code is different.

Do we need to talk to sales?

No. You can open the demo without an account and sign your team up online. If you'd like help rolling Ledington out across a larger organization, we're happy to talk.

Can we run Ledington alongside Bloomberg?

Yes. You can keep a Bloomberg seat where trading or chat needs it and give the rest of the team Ledington for research, rates and treasury work.

Where does the data come from?

Market data comes from licensed providers, and filings, rates, positioning and economic data come directly from sources like SEC EDGAR, the New York Fed, Treasury and the CFTC. Every panel shows its source.

Does it work on a Mac?

Yes. Ledington runs in any modern browser, and the desktop app is available for macOS and Windows.

Ledington vs Bloomberg Terminal: Pricing, Data and Features

Why teams switch from Bloomberg

Start today, not next quarter

Open the demo and click through every panel before anyone creates an account. No sales call, no install, no hardware, no procurement cycle.

Quick where Bloomberg is slow

Panels open as fast as you can type the code, charts redraw while you drag them, and layouts come back with the app. Put the two side by side and the difference is obvious.

Your cash next to the markets

Maturity ladders, money funds and deposit exposure at every bank you use, alongside research on the banks themselves.

Where Bloomberg is still ahead

Bloomberg has spent four decades building things a newer terminal can't match yet. If these matter most to your team, it may still be the better fit.

Trading and execution

Order and execution management built into the terminal, connected to brokers and venues worldwide.

The Instant Bloomberg network

Chat with counterparties, brokers and dealers across firms, not just inside your own team.

Global breadth

Coverage across markets, asset classes and regions that goes well beyond US equities, rates and macro.

Questions from Bloomberg users

Try the terminal before you sign up

The demo runs on simulated data and needs no account, so you can open every panel and build a layout before you talk to anyone.

Try it for yourself

In your browser or on your desktop

Use Ledington in any modern browser, or install the desktop app for its own window and an always-on-top mode. Your layouts follow you between them.

Available for macOS and Windows.
