Day-Ahead Trading with epWare Hydra
epWare Hydra is your professional solution for managing daily auctions on EPEX SPOT and Nord Pool. It supports both hourly and quarter-hourly auctions and covers all relevant bid types, including market, limit, block, smart exclusive and smart parent-child bids. This gives you full flexibility in implementing your trading strategies.
Integrated Internal Market
The built-in internal market allows you to consolidate bids from customers, portfolios or different business units. epWare Hydra aggregates these bids, transfers the residual volume to the exchange and distributes the results back to all participants. This ensures transparency and optimal allocation across your organization.
