I figured out how to download prices using Yahoo, and just changed by data feed from Bloomberg to Yahoo. Downloading prices into Excel with Yahoo is pretty easy, but it's a pain that you can't update the data set with one click. Each time someone trades, I have to create a new query, which then has to be updated separately from the other queries. By the end of the tournament it take a few minutes just to get all the prices updated since I have to click and wait for each query/trade that has gone on throughout the contest. Anyway, setting up the initial sheet is the only thing that takes much time. Since that's done its fairly easy from here.
