Risk Management      Do you know the level of risk that your traders are taking?  Are your traders making short-term trades without looking at a longer-term view of the markets?  Even though your company may not be sure which direction energy prices are heading, companies can develop a realistic appraisal of their market situation based on fundamental, quantitative, and technical analysis and apply the resulting outlook to a balanced approach to hedge the price of their energy portfolio.  If you're having problems or would be more comfortable with an experienced, third party perspective on your trading and risk management operations, contact Energy Analytics Corporation for assistance.
