Description
This course provides a practical, end-to-end introduction to Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM), designed for anyone looking to understand how energy trading businesses actually operate inside real ETRM systems.

Rather than focusing on theory alone or a single tool, this course explains the core concepts, workflows, and system behavior that are common across platforms such as Endur, Allegro, RightAngle, and similar ETRM applications.

A key focus of the course is hands-on learning. You will see live trade examples inside an ETRM system, understand how trades are booked, validated, valued, and settled, and how the same trade is viewed differently by Front Office, Middle Office, and Back Office teams.

You will learn

• How energy trading works from both a business and system perspective

• The key characteristics of different energy commodities (Oil, Gas, Power, Coal)

• Core ETRM concepts such as market risk, credit risk, operational risk, PnL, MTM, and exposure

• How a live trade flows through FO, MO, and BO, using real trade scenarios

• How ETRM systems support trade booking, valuation, risk management, settlement, and reporting

• The ETRM IT architecture, including how components like

• Market data providers

• Exchanges and clearing

• Credit risk platforms

• Reporting and regulatory systems
integrate with the core ETRM system

• Why ETRM is more than theory, and how real-world configuration and data drive outcomes

Using live trade examples and system walkthroughs, the course shows how issues originate, how they surface later in the lifecycle, and how different teams interpret the same trade in different ways.

Who this course is for

• Newcomers trying to enter the ETRM / energy trading domain

• Developers transitioning into ETRM or Endur-related roles

• Business Analysts, Support Analysts, and ETRM Consultants

• Professionals preparing for ETRM interviews

• Anyone who wants a clear, practical mental model of how ETRM systems work in real trading organizations

By the end of this course

You’ll be able to confidently explain ETRM concepts, understand live trade lifecycles, describe ETRM system architecture, and clearly articulate how energy trading organizations operate in the real world beyond just definitions and theory.
