TT^® Connect Blog

TT has a long history of winning awards for our products, including Derivatives Trading System of the Year, Best EMS Provider, TCA Provider of the Year, Best Algorithmic Trading Provider and Trade Surveillance Product of the Year, just to name a few. But it’s not just our products that are best in class. It’s also our people. So I was thrilled when our own Alice Pocklington, who serves as TT’s EVP Head of APAC, was named Best in Fintech at the 2025 Women in Finance Asia Awards earlier this month.

In the fast-paced world of algorithmic trading, energy markets present a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Unlike traditional asset classes, energy trading involves navigating physical delivery requirements, fragmented markets and extreme volatility. At the recent E-world Energy & Water trade fair in Essen, we caught up with Timo Kieseler, Head of Algorithmic Trading at Vattenfall, to discuss the challenges of algo trading in energy markets, Vattenfall’s partnership with TT and future plans for technology investment.
