FTR Positions Dataset

Unprecedented Visibility into FTR Market Positions

Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) are extremely complex market instruments with enormous volumes of associated data. Historically, only FTR trading organizations with large IT budgets have been able to build systems to gain visibility into the positions, performance, and risk of their competitors in the market. The FTR Positions Dataset provides visibility into all FTR positions in US markets, giving users access to the fastest available data for all markets after each FTR auction, and day-ahead market clearance. 

Built using an industry standard mark-to-auction methodology used by some of the biggest FTR firms, users can be confident they are getting accurate values for their accounting and strategy development needs. With FTR Positions Dataset, you can outsource expensive data management, including price revisions, model remappings, and inevitable market data reporting changes.
