Free Bloomberg Terminal alternative · also known as Wall Brains
A free, browser-based Bloomberg Terminal alternative
A Bloomberg Terminal costs about $24,000 per user per year. For most retail traders, prosumer investors and finance students, that's impossible. WallBrains rebuilds the most valuable parts of a Bloomberg Terminal — real-time multi-asset quotes, news aggregation, earnings, economic data and a customizable watchlist — and gives them away for free in a browser.
