The simulator mimics real ETRM software workflows, turning concepts into actions. Instead of just reading about trade capture, you actually perform it on the tool
You get comfortable with an interface similar to Endur/Allegro, giving you a tangible skill to mention in interviews (versus just theory)
The simulator forces you to wear multiple hats (trader, risk manager, etc.), giving a holistic view of the ETRM process end-to-end. This is something even entry jobs might not provide quickly.
Using the simulator is a proactive step that differentiates you from the pack. It signals initiative and genuine interest. Instead of hoping an employer will invest in you, you've invested in yourself.
The simulator serves as that missing initial experience. As a result, you can approach interviews saying "I've simulated full trade lifecycles" – instantly standing out from those with zero hands-on experience.
Many interviewers for ETRM roles ask scenario-based questions. After using the simulator, you can give concrete examples (“In the simulator, I hedged a crude oil position with a Brent future and then generated an exposure report...”).
This level of detail can impress interviewers and demonstrate practical understanding.
Starting point of all ETRM applications. Here, we put you in the shoes of a physical and paper trader. You will be able to capture various trade elements dynamically into the system which is commonly captured by ETRM applications.
Now you change roles. You put on the hat of an Operator. In this step, you need to nominate a vessel, assign the quantities, load and discharge ports and link it to the physical trade. You will capture all these elements dynamically in the simulator
Next, based on the trade data you have captured, you will see how the position and exposure reports are generated. Here, you can play with the trade data and see how this impacts your overall portfolio. Be careful – if you underhedge or overhedge-> you risk yourself to speculation!
Now, you are a Settlements Analyst. Here you create an invoice for both the physical and financial trades against the counterparty you traded. Normally, this stuff is automated in ETRM applications, but to really understand them, you should know how to manually capture and process them to accounting!
Probably the most crucial part of any ETRM application is the running of successful EOD / COB process on a daily basis. This usually happens overnight and a whole bunch of workflows are triggered so that all the various teams in the trading house have their information ready before the next trading day.
Based on the scenario provided, you can get creative and create the required relevant master data such as counterparties, set credit limits against them, create business users and assign roles, create different contract types, products, transportation methods and various other such elements commonly stored in an ETRM application
