Intuitive and Easy to Use Reuters Tools add a valuable analytical and decision-making dimension to real-time data. Market professionals
have found the Reuters Tools applications intuitive and easy-to-use. The extensive use of wizards
allows complex tasks, such as collecting and charting tic data, to be broken up into a series of
small steps. When you’ve completed all the steps the wizard performs the task for you. Each wizard
dialog box has the same set of buttons across the bottom. You can click these buttons to move
forward or backward, get help, or quit the wizard. Reuters Tools
have simplified the process of using Reuter quoted data in analytical calculations.
Many Time-Saving Features
Some of the tools create formulas that link directly to Reuters network so that models
recalculate in real time. These tools can also retrieve snap quotes to provide end-of-day
reporting. Other tools retrieve historical data or parse page-based data. The more advanced
tools actually automate many of the activities frequently performed by traders, such as
scheduling data retrieval for specific times of day, print scheduling, limit monitoring
and collecting and analyzing tick data.
For example, a user could pull real-time quotes on stocks, indices and other instruments
directly to their Excel worksheet. Historical data can be brought in as well, feeding real-time
analysis models. One tool pulls in the current prices and information and another charts
the data, dynamically updating as new data is returned. The Reuters data network is huge
and users can get it directly to their Excel desktop with the Reuters Tools.

Schedule Events to Automate Data Retrieval, Print or Save Your Workbooks The complex operations of automating the backup, saving and printing of your worksheets can now be managed
by the Event Scheduler Wizard. With this versatile wizard you can schedule your custom macros to run at specific
times, you can retrieve chains, update lists and monitor trading in international markets at all hours of the
day and night. You can quickly review all the events you scheduled by viewing them in the Scheduled Events
list box and name the events so they can be easier to remember.
Filtering Chains
Chained instruments allow you to obtain all the quotes on a group of related instruments, but they also
overload you with a mind-boggling amount of data. The Chain Wizard allows Fixed Income, Futures, Derivatives
and Currency professionals to eliminate data overload by filtering the data before it is retrieved. You can
quickly focus on data that is meaningful.
These are some of the features unique to Reuters Tools which many market professional have come to rely on.
