I work as Head of Equity Strategy at Saxo Bank producing trading strategies (both short and long-term) on global equities with primary focus on US equities. We use Bloomberg extensively in our daily work and as a result we have created a package called RblpExtension in R that extends the functionality of the Rblpapi package that connects Bloomberg with R. In addition, I have created a package called ggplotHelper which contains helper functions for creating beautiful charts in ggplot2. Both packages are available on GitHub.
