The Treasure Hunterto get it through London, and they said they would do it for me for
six months. I had some shares in a energy trading firm in New York
that had several of the Bloomberg Professional stations in their
offices. I said, I travel around—can you give me the Bloomberg
Professional on my laptop? And don’t try to sell me an actual
terminal. I don’t need a desktop terminal. I go through airports.
They eventually did, and they gave me the Bloomberg Professional
as you guys would have with the four screens. But I have four boxes
on my laptop. I have to toggle between what I want to look at. So
they gave me that and I use TradeStation. I also use different
option pricing software pieces that are custom made for me by
programmers. I use different people in financial engineering to
help me model how the option pricing surface should look. What
the advantages are in the current one versus the historical.
Q: So, all of these functionalities are on one laptop?
A: No, I travel with three. In fact, it drives people nuts. I literally
run around the world with three different laptops. One has my
Bloomberg, my TradeStation, all of my data and back testing stuff.
Another one has all of my option financial engineering analytics,

Q: So when you are trading all three are up in front of you?
A: All three are in front of me.
Q: The dealing screen, how do you deal now? Do you have a
broker?
A: I’ve got brokers who set me up with direct dealing in the
exchanges overseas, and here in the states I use Interactive Brokers,
