Q. Is it true that more energy trading is taking place than ever before? Is there a difference in the type of risk management systems required for each type of trading activity?

A. More trading is occurring today because there are a larger number of participants and despite continued liquidity issues in most energy commodity markets, the increased number of participants have resulted in more individual transactions. The ratio of physical to financial trades varies by several distinct variables: geo-political boundaries, North American geographies, seasonal production, facility capacity and storage options, storage capacity and the corporate or trading firm business models. The type of risk will vary by the type of trading activity. Firms trading product they own will have a lower risk profile while firms trading product as a commodity for hedging or swaps will have a higher risk profile.
