Trading Platforms Built for Volatile, Decarbonizing Power Markets
We engineer ETRM and CTRM platforms that ingest real-time ISO/RTO market data, manage positions across day-ahead and real-time markets, and automate settlement reconciliation — purpose-built for desks scaling from one ISO to ten.

Industry Overview
Engineered for the New Power Trading Reality
Renewable penetration, storage arbitrage, and ancillary service markets have made off-the-shelf ETRM systems brittle. We build trading platforms that treat market data, positions, optimization, and settlement as one continuous data flow — not bolted-on modules.
Industry Challenges
The Limits of Generic ETRM Suites
Most trading desks live in spreadsheets bridging gaps in their ETRM. That's not a workflow — that's an audit risk waiting to surface.
Latency Gaps: Five-minute LMP windows arrive in legacy systems already stale by the time a trader sees them.
Asset Co-Optimization: Traditional ETRMs struggle to co-optimize batteries, PPAs, and load resources across markets.
Settlement Drift: ISO settlement statements arrive with thousands of line items the back office reconciles by hand.
Model Lock-In: Quant teams want Python notebooks; the trading platform only speaks proprietary scripting.
Our Approach
Trading-Grade Engineering, Quant-Friendly Interfaces
We build the boring, fast, deterministic core — and expose it via clean APIs your quants and data scientists can reach with Python, R, or whatever they already love.
Streaming Market Data
Direct ISO/RTO feeds normalized into a unified tick store with replay, retention, and zero-loss recovery.
Real-Time Position Keeping
In-memory position service with sub-millisecond reads, audit-grade event sourcing, and pluggable risk models.
Quant API Surface
Python and gRPC SDKs let your quant team backtest, deploy, and govern strategies without back-end help.
Capabilities
Capabilities Across the Trading Lifecycle
From price formation to back-office reconciliation, every workflow lives in one cohesive platform.
Multi-ISO Market Data
Direct connections to CAISO, ERCOT, MISO, PJM, NYISO, ISO-NE, SPP, AESO, IESO with one API.
Day-Ahead Bidding
Optimization-driven bid construction with constraints for ramping, SOC, and ancillary commitments.
Real-Time Co-Optimization
Battery and load assets co-optimized across energy and AS markets in five-minute cycles.
Position Limits & Greeks
Live exposure across delivery periods, locations, and hub spreads.
Strategy Backtesting
Replay historical market windows against any strategy in a notebook environment.
Settlement Automation
Auto-reconcile ISO statements line-by-line; flag exceptions instead of every entry.
Compliance & Audit
Immutable event log with full lineage from market signal to executed trade to settled invoice.
Risk Reporting
VaR, scenario, and stress reports generated nightly and on-demand.
External Connectivity
FIX, secure SFTP, and REST integrations to brokers, CCPs, and counterparties.
How It Works
From Market Tick to Settled Invoice
A reference architecture engineered for both speed and provability.

Battery Storage Optimizer Across Three ISOs
A storage IPP wanted one platform for batteries operating in CAISO, ERCOT, and PJM. We built a co-optimizer that bids energy and ancillary services in day-ahead and real-time markets while respecting SOC, cycle, and warranty constraints.
First-year arbitrage revenue beat their previous best by 12%, and the back-office reconciliation team — once three full-time staff — was redeployed to higher-value analyst work.
Case Study
Renewable PPA Trading Desk
A trading desk serving renewable PPAs needed a platform that could express complex shape and basis risk across virtual and physical positions. We delivered a custom OMS plus a quant SDK in seven months.
The platform now powers daily hedging for 2.4GW of contracted capacity and feeds an automated risk pack into the CRO's morning brief.
