Day-ahead market: an hourly market for the next delivery day.
Tutorial · RDN in 2 minutes
RDN is an hourly decision for tomorrow, not one average price.
For a trader, the hours, peak, volume and neighboring-market context matter. Alvo brings official prices, forecast band and cross-border signal together, but it does not replace the responsible trader.

In brief
Intraday market: position correction closer to delivery.
The gap between UA and neighboring EU DAM prices shows import/export pressure.
Decision support: data, forecast band, plan and audit trail without automatic order submission.
How to read the morning
1. Start with the level
Look at the average level and range, but do not stop at the average price.
2. Split the hours
Read evening peak, night hours and any cap-like clusters separately.
3. Add IDM
The intraday spread shows where the market rewrites expectations after day-ahead clearing.
4. Add cross-border
Basis and flow direction explain whether UA reads as scarce, balanced or surplus.
What not to claim
No P&L promise
Do not claim guaranteed profit or +X% edge: the forecast band is decision support.
No auto-trading
V1 does not submit market orders; the final decision and accountability stay with the trader.
No feed overclaim
Only label live sources as live; gated or fixture data must be marked explicitly.

What to inspect in Alvo
Morning read
Minimal checklist before a human decision.
1. Latest DAM/IDM day: price level, range, peak hours 2. Forecast band: p10 / p50 / p90, not a promise 3. Cross-border regime: scarce / balanced / surplus 4. Decision brief: action, caveats, audit receipt
Trader question
Alvo does not decide for the human; it structures the check.
Is the next action still valid if: - evening peak clears near the high band? - IDM diverges from DAM? - UA-EU basis flips direction? - freshness is stale or incomplete?
