Learn · Alvo for traders and developers
How to read the market, the forecast, the border, the decision ledger and the API in Alvo. A person always makes the decision.
Data status
Data groups on public /status, three freshness states, the source that set a state and why a missed forecast cannot be backfilled.
Execution risk
Walk-the-book slippage, exhaustion and real validation on 240 Ukrainian DAM hours: execution risk without a forecast or fill promise.
BESS · reserves first
A study on Alvo's own data sample: reserves at 48-64k UAH/MW-day in 2024–2026 versus 5.1-9.1k from arbitrage in the same years, with settlement, capture-rate and wartime-price caveats.
Cross-border capacity
Offered/requested MW, cleared €/MWh and oversubscription as corridor-scarcity context: not an energy price, forecast feed or guaranteed arbitrage.
Model Context Protocol
An account browser session, initialize and tools/call for forecast, prices and cross-border regime.
REST API
GET /api/health shows service status without sign-in. Market data and signals need an account session.
Forecast method
Conformal band, GW gate and calibration checks: what they prove and what they cannot promise a trader.
UA-EU border
JAO capacity, A11 flows, gateway benchmark and coupling clock: how to read the border signal.
Audit trail
Hit-rate, captured spread, pre-gate vs post-gate and export: how to read the ledger.
AI transparency
A replayable path: where to copy the receipt, which inputs to add, how to read pass/fail and why it is not a signature.
Ukraine market
A two-minute read: day-ahead, intraday, cross-border basis and how Alvo keeps those signals honest.
Reading order
Understand DAM/IDM as hourly markets where each delivery hour has its own price and risk.
Open public /status and check that the data groups you rely on are fresh.
Read the p10/p50/p90 band as uncertainty, and the cross-border basis and JAO auctions as the state of the border, not a price forecast.
Inspect the decision ledger: what was recommended, exactly when, and what the market did later.
Workspace
Open the workspace: OREE prices, forecast, cross-border regime and a decision brief with audit trail in one loop.
