    hi, my 1st time to be here, Im a businessman(Chinese citizen) in China mainland, and got an account in one of the big broker in NYC, and as right now my investment is not so large, just a very little, and I want to know that, once i achive what kind of money level, then I can use Bloomberg terminal, 'cause right now i think its not that neseccery. but i ve already contact with the salsman in China Beijing, and also been to their office to have a real look about it and got a comprehensive understanding for the prizing issues, so right now , i just want to have an idea for when should i buy that, i should buy it untill i achive what kind of money level???

    i really hope some could help me out of it...i ll be really appriciated....

    BT is a $1600 USD per month lease for two full years contractual committment.
     
  4. There is a simple answer but not sure it will help.

    You should buy one when it will you make more money from having it, than the cost of the hire.

    Only you can answer that as it will depend on amongst other things the size you trade and the style.
     
  5. It doesnt make sense for accounts less than USD 2 mil. But it's not just the account size, it's the products you trade, trading style, etc.
    If you can trade now without one, why worry about it?
