I would like to know if there Is a way to specify in the Bloomberg FETCH function that you want to retrieve data about the price of an equity from a certain data source, like a specific bank.

The Bloomberg API used by the Datafeed Toolbox does not contain all of the functionality that Bloomberg provides for use in MS Excel. One piece of functionality that the Bloomberg API does not use is the ability to specify a data source with more granularity than a specific market.
As a workaround, you could retrieve the data in MS Excel and use ActiveX or our Excel Link product to transfer it from MS Excel into MATLAB.
