Margin Analytics

Real settlement costs land days after the trade — by then, you're reacting, not deciding. ISO shadow settlements show you market reality as it unfolds. Risk360's Margin Analytics module delivers daily pre-settlement cost forecasts to the dollar.

Component-level attribution breaks down your costs by ISO, zone, load zone, and settlement component — so you see exactly where basis movements, congestion patterns, and weather impacts are affecting your margin. ERCOT settlement views show real-time reconciliation between your scheduled positions and actual settlement charges, with variance flagging that catches abnormal days before they blow up your margin.
