Trading
Overview
Improving customer retention is at odds with the complexities and costs of trading in wholesale energy markets. Making the move to hosted services sharply reduces these challenges and has the additional advantage of simplifying the digital marketing of energy products. With Europe’s energy market experiencing increased competition between new and incumbent investors, Equias’ bundled trading services give new entrants hosted, comprehensive, low-cost energy trading.

eRR/SMT - electronic Regulatory Reporting for SMT

-
eTM - electronic Trade Monitoring
To help our clients mitigate risk under REMIT and ensure MAR compliance, we developed and built the electronic trade monitoring (eTM) service, a collaboration with the industry which applies the key trading abuse patterns to the energy markets. Since its launch, eTM has become the most widely used trade monitoring service in the European energy market with an active community that drives development in areas including insider trading, spot market monitoring and self-calibration.
Reconciliation
Overview
At Equias we deliver the industry-standard electronic Confirmation Matching (eCM) service developed by EFET to mitigate operational risk in the European over-the-counter (OTC) energy market. During 2019 our implementation of EFET’s electronic Settlement Matching standard has been added as a companion product to eCM.
Settlement matching automates settlement documentation, including manual reconciliation of invoices and statements. This opens up the possibility to reduce the settlement cycle in the future, with clear benefits for companies’ use of cash.

Spot - Market Data Analysis in Trade Monitoring
Spot markets generate significantly more data compared to forward/future markets, but more concerningly the data generated does not always seem to fit the abuse pattern analysis that has been developed and which works well for forward/future markets. An initial investigation of the underlying issues related to spot market data and automated trade monitoring is presented in a White Paper.
