About this market
A market in transition, and a talent pool that hasn't caught up.
Desks now need people who understand both legacy generation and a renewables-heavy grid, who can trade day-ahead and balancing markets in the same breath, and who are comfortable with regulatory complexity that shifts by the quarter.

An off-market FTR trader, found in a week
A fundamental FTR trading candidate to lead an ERCOT build-out, sourced entirely off-market.
View case studie
A leading US trading house was looking to build its FTR trading capabilities in ERCOT and required a proven fundamental FTR trader to lead the strategy. The ideal candidate needed deep fundamental expertise, a strong understanding of congestion opportunities, and experience building regional trading capabilities. Given the specialist nature of the market, the search required access to a highly targeted pool of proven FTR traders.
We conducted a targeted search across leading US utilities, merchants, hedge funds and proprietary trading platforms, focusing on fundamental FTR traders rather than purely quantitative or auction-focused profiles. Within one week, we identified and introduced an off-market candidate with strong alignment to the client's strategy. The candidate also brought experience across ERCOT, PJM, MISO and NYISO, extending the client's capabilities beyond its initial ERCOT mandate.
The client secured a highly relevant FTR trader within an exceptionally short timeframe, accelerating its ERCOT build-out while adding capabilities across four major US power markets.
