Energy trading & risk management practice
Learn ETRM by doing the work.
A hands-on simulator for analysts, testers and support teams. Capture trades, trigger real controls and inspect the outcome — all on synthetic data.
How practice works
The same four steps, every scenario.
Explanations stay short, so most of your time goes on the task itself — and on checking what happened.
- 01
Understand the workflow
Short lessons and role guides explain what happens, who does it and why it matters.
- 02
Use prepared data
Synthetic market profiles, counterparties and limits are ready — nothing to set up.
- 03
Complete the task
Capture, submit and approve trades while the pre-trade controls respond.
- 04
Inspect the outcome
Trace the result through positions, checks and the audit trail. Reset. Repeat.
The workflow
Capture. Check. Approve. Settle.
Follow a trade through its workflow and see each step from the role that owns it. Explore scenarios covering power, gas, oil, LNG and derivatives. See the simulator’s scope.
Capture
Enter a trade on the ticket: direction, counterparty, product, volume and price.
In the app: Trade ticket with live preview
Check
Pre-trade controls run automatically and explain any failure.
In the app: Credit, limits, price band, agreements
Approve
An approver reviews the trade and approves or rejects it. Then it's executed and confirmed.
In the app: Approval queue and confirmations
Settle
Delivery is measured, invoiced and paid, and the day is closed.
In the app: Invoices, payments and daily close
