Notes are short. Two paragraphs, sometimes three. They show up when something on the screen warrants a sentence, a print that doesn’t match the narrative, a structure that’s been holding for longer than it should, a level that the order book keeps defending. Not a thesis. Not a recommendation. Just the observation, with enough context to be useful a week later.
If a note grows into something that needs charts, math, or a position frame, it gets promoted to Research. Most don’t. Most are the kind of thing that, in a previous era, would have been a one-line comment scribbled in the margin of a Bloomberg printout. The point of writing them down is to make them findable later, and to force the discipline of saying what’s actually happening, not what should be happening.
What notes are not: market recaps, news summaries, predictions, calls. Recaps live on News, which pulls Bloomberg’s morning print directly. Predictions don’t live here at all.
