Scaling Fixed Income Execution with Bloomberg Rule Builder

How to apply Rule Builder more effectively across a broader range of trades: Fixed Income trading workflows continue to evolve. As trade sizes increase and liquidity becomes more fragmented, maintaining consistent execution is becoming more challenging. Many desks already use automation for smaller or repeatable flow but may not always see how these approaches can extend across a broader range of trades. This session will introduce Bloomberg Rule Builder (RBLD) and explore how it can be used more effectively to support consistent, scalable execution. During this session, we will discuss: - Why automation is increasingly important in Fixed Income trading, including key insights from empirical studies on execution outcomes - Approaches to dealer selection and interaction logic across different trading scenarios - Different execution styles within Rule Builder, including one-touch, no-touch, and delayed workflows - How conditions and filters can be used to define the automated order universe - How execution parameters can help maintain control, including price thresholds and guardrails - Ways to validate and refine execution strategies using backtesting and analytics - Capabilities within Rule Builder that can support a broader range of day-to-day trading workflows
