Benefits
1. Spot Market: inject or withdraw?
Decission support Each day, the gas storage optimization model tells you what is optimal to do: inject or withdraw. Boundary prices indicate below which price you should inject and above which price withdraw. Together with boundary prices of other storage assets and swing contracts, a portfolio manager can rank the assets from low opportunity cost to high opportunity cost, creating an internal merit order for portfolio optimisation.
2. Forward Market: keep the risk or lock in profits?
KyStore shows which forward transactions are optimal to hedge risks and lock in profits. The user can choose between intrinsic hedging and delta hedging, two strategies to secure profits. It can provide hedge recommendations for the asset alone, for multiple assets together or for a portfolio of assets and existing trading positions.
3. Storage market: what is a fair price?
Finally, the storage model answers the question: how much should I pay for storage? The gas storage optimization model shows which part of the value is intrinsic, and can be made easily, and which part is extrinsic, requiring a more active trading strategy. Extrinsic values are derived from an intuitive and realistic Monte Carlo simulation model. A combination of forward and spot trading strategies is applied to the simulated price scenarios, using rolling intrinsic and least-squares Monte Carlo. This type of valuation provides a fair assessment of the future value. Backtesting of the model is another feature: it shows how much money you would have made in the past, following a specific trading strategy.
