Adapt2 Solutions recently attended the 10th annual Platt’s Nodal Trader Conference in NYC.
Adapt2 currently helps many FTR traders at companies like Freepoint Commodities, Mercuria, Levelsail Trading, and more.
One of the most interesting panel discussions was on price formations and how they impact the markets. A team of energy experts assembled to give their feedback. Many of them highlighted that the following are challenges in the power marketplace:
Adapt2 Solutions provides clients with the following tools to help combat these challenges.

Adapt2’s next-generation bid formulation toolkit allows users to create templates for all ISO transaction types, including Generation, Demand, Virtual, and Bilaterals. Submit logic is connected directly to templates, eliminating the latency caused by legacy integration processes. Templates are fully auditable, including the ability to search history and recreate a bid strategy from the ground up. Offer formulas are fully transparent and user-configured.

Deliver valuable P&L results to your business for all ISO transactions. Configure ad-hoc calculations in Adapt2’s P&L pivot grid, or schedule calculations to occur as the data updates in real-time. Connect to SCADA and trading systems with Adapt2’s standard PL Data API. Create various types of P&L reports, including intra-day, indicative, as-bid, as-burned, and settlement. When combined with Bid Accelerator, Unit Capability, and Adapt2’s inbound SCADA API, P&L can be fully automated and provide real-time feedback on the health of your operations.
