AI in Energy Trading: Algos Are Just the Beginning!

Algorithmic (algo) trading has transformed energy markets, but we’re only scratching the surface of what is possible. Today’s energy traders manage up to 96 products simultaneously in fast-paced intraday and continuous markets — a complex challenge that’s increasingly beyond human capacity. Therefore, algos step in to handle the bulk of trades, bringing speed and precision to the table especially when trading frequencies skyrocket right before delivery time, while human traders focus on larger, strategic moves.

Beat The Market Challenges!

In recent years, the European energy market has transformed rapidly, with more small-scale battery owners and traders entering the scene. The promise of earning through energy trading is attractive to individuals and small businesses who want to maximize the return on their battery storage investments. However, as the market grows, so do the challenges — and many battery owners are finding that the returns aren’t what they expected.
