Ensure Optimal Energy Portfolio Management
A study conducted by the European Commission estimated that by leveraging real-time data and advanced analytics, the energy industry could achieve energy savings of up to 10%. When managing a diverse portfolio of energy assets, it is essential to have real-time visibility into the performance and market conditions for energy traders and asset managers to monitor their energy positions and make timely decisions, mitigating risk effectively.
Active Position Manager (APM) offers traders and risk managers an interactive and highly customizable position reporting tool, allowing them to track real-time positions with scenario analysis and drill-down capabilities. The recent version of Active Position Manager (APM) offers significant advantages over previous versions, as it provides better filters, pivots, a wider range of result sets, and enhanced robustness, alleviating relying on non-customizable Real-Time Position (RTP) monitoring in Endur.
Let’s dive into this blog to explore how you can enhance your trading decisions by leveraging the essential features of APM and discuss the significance of making customizations to maximize their potential, ultimately ensuring profitable business outcomes.

Customized APM Solutions for Trader-Specific Requirements
With our extensive expertise in Endur, we are well-equipped to assist you in customizing APM according to your specific trader requirements. This ensures a personalized and efficient trading experience tailored to your needs. Recognizing the significance of aligning APM with the unique workflows and decision-making processes of traders, we specialize in customizing APM’s features, dashboards, and analytics to meet our clients’ specific requirements, ultimately maximizing the potential of their businesses. Here are a few examples of the customizations we have successfully implemented for our clients:
Standard results - MTM, Delta, Positions
- Traders have access to standard results such as MTM, Delta, and Positions, which are crucial for monitoring their portfolio performance. Our tailored approach, enables our clients to customize the output results based on their unique requirements.
- This customization empowers them to selectively view or hide columns on the page, prioritizing the most pertinent data for their decision-making. As a result, we have observed enhanced hedge ratios, providing traders with a comprehensive understanding of positions and exposure values at both the granular and portfolio levels.
Pivots and filter criteria for LNG lifecycle
- APM offers specialized pivots and filters for the LNG lifecycle, allowing traders to analyze Exposure, Reset Level Exposure, Physical Position, P&L, and Volumes. These results are crucial for assessing risk exposure and profitability. Value Creed provides a user-friendly experience on the APM page, surpassing simulation results.
- Previously, excel-based tools and RTP-Real Time Position monitor were used, but they caused significant lag time. Excel took about 3 hours, and RTP's data retrieval time increased with larger deal sets. However, our customizations reflect real-time positions within 10-20 seconds of deal updates.
APM Services for Gas and Power
- Combining both Gas and Power on one APM service would significantly increase the execution time due to fetching data for two different instrument types. By splitting the APM services into separate physical and financial components, and further dividing the Gas and Power packages into individual services, we offer customizations that significantly decrease the overall runtime of APM pages by 50%.
- Our customizations allow for quicker response times and improved user experience, as Grid Cluster enables the rapid online availability of APM pages containing large data sets.
Gas Phys Volume Package
- The gas phys volume package in APM includes monthly, daily, and hourly flow columns.
- With our additional customizations traders and analysts can view volumes and volume changes at a granular level, gaining valuable insights into the dynamics of their gas operations, identifying trends, and making more informed decisions.
