European energy markets are attracting a new generation of algorithmic traders as financial firms move into power, while established energy companies change how they trade. For EEX, the shift is creating a virtuous circle of rising volumes and liquidity. We spoke with Tim Greenwood, Managing Director Exchange and Director Sales at EEX, about why power markets are attracting new market participants, how they are changing the market and what is next for power markets. 

If TT Connect revealed one thing, it’s that trading is increasingly complex, and attendees expect that complexity to accelerate.

More than 150 market participants gathered in London on September 29 for TT Connect: The Evolution of Execution to explore the forces reshaping global trading. Audience polling throughout the event provided a unique snapshot of how market participants are thinking about these changes and where they see the industry headed next.

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. 

For more than 15 years, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has worked closely with Trading Technologies on our cloud adoption journey. While the TT platform’s primary foundation is hosted in colocated data centers, we leverage AWS’s cloud infrastructure to complement the core platform. We recently talked with AWS’s Brian Cassin, Head of Market Development for Capital Markets, and Alex Mirarchi, Principal Capital Markets Industry Specialist, about how firms can get ahead using the cloud and where the impact of cloud technology is being felt most in financial markets today. 

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.
