Trading and Risk Management Simulation Workshop
This popular hands-on workshop requires participants to make real world trading decisions in a simulated electricity market. After an initial seminar covering risk management and trading strategies, the teams construct their portfolios and engage in simulated market participation. Participants are grouped in teams and allocated portfolios of physical and financial assets.
The course covers the following topics:
- Impacts of fundamental drivers on market outcomes including economic uncertainties, weather, fuel and transmission constraints, Clean Energy Future legislation and other market influences
- Developing hedging strategies to engineer portfolios into the optimal risk-return profile for different corporate risk appetites
- Managing a portfolio in the presence of trading limits and compliance requirements
A decision support system is provided to the teams to experiment with proposed portfolios, view historical market outcomes for comparison and to run what-if experiments. Team members undertake roles of traders, back-office personnel, analysts and compliance personnel.
At the conclusion, team members will have experienced:
- Managing load flex and generator unreliability
- Managing market driven volatility and correlations in cost profiles such as Gas and Carbon
- Reconciling conflicting trading objectives and limits
- Optimizing for profit under uncertain market outcomes
- Managing the book-build process for growing a contract book
