Help center

Help for every team role.

Alvo should be clear beyond the trading desk. Each role sees what to do, which controls matter, what result to expect, and where human approval remains required.

Where to start

A step-by-step guide to each tool — what it shows, how to check assumptions, and where human judgment remains.

How to use Alvo to assess trading decisions

Step by step through each tool: the data it shows, how to read scenarios, and how to assess risk before a decision. Every shot is available in light and dark themes.

Hourly DAM/IDM chart and signalsHourly DAM/IDM chart and signals

Hourly DAM/IDM chart and signals

24 hours of official Market Operator prices with cheap (buy) and expensive (sell) hours marked, a P10–P90 forecast band, and a per-hour inspector.

  1. Scan the whole day: green marks are cheap hours, blue are expensive.
  2. Click any hour to open the inspector: price, delta vs average, forecast, and trade window.
  3. Switch DAM/IDM and check the forecast band and model accuracy (rMAE vs the naive benchmark).

Your margin is the spread: buy in cheap hours, sell in expensive ones. When a forecast is available, the workspace shows the current model, rMAE vs naive, evaluation window, and GW verdict beside the forecast. The P10–P90 band shows scenarios, not a price-move guarantee; execution, liquidity, and imbalance stay separate checks.

AI briefAI brief

AI brief

A plain-language explanation of the recommended plan: best hour pairs, expected net result, risks, and anomalies. Deterministic, with no external LLM and no leak of your data.

  1. Click “Generate AI brief”.
  2. Read the summary and trader checklist; check the data sources and model transparency.
  3. Export to XLSX or PDF for your team or compliance.

Faster, defensible decisions: the brief turns raw signals into a clear action and an audit-ready rationale — less analysis time and fewer mistakes under pressure.

Imbalance risk (BM)Imbalance risk (BM)

Imbalance risk (BM)

An imbalance-risk signal (low/moderate/high) with positive and negative imbalance prices and your estimated exposure if delivery deviates.

  1. Check the risk level for the day.
  2. Review the estimated exposure at a delivery deviation.
  3. Check whether the position needs adjustment, accounting for liquidity, timing, and imbalance rules.

The BM signal estimates an exposure scenario from observed prices; it helps you assess whether adjustment is needed, but it does not forecast settlement prices or guarantee avoidance of imbalance costs.

Backtest — stability checkBacktest — stability check

Backtest — stability check

A walk-forward check of the strategy across the dataset: result, share of profitable days, best/worst day, and daily rows.

  1. Run the backtest over the available days.
  2. Read the stability check and rMAE vs the naive benchmark.
  3. Inspect the per-day modeled result to see how it varied historically.

The backtest shows historical behavior under stated assumptions; it does not prove future robustness, execution, or profitability.

BESS arbitrageBESS arbitrage

BESS arbitrage

Charge/discharge planning for a battery over DAM prices, accounting for efficiency, cycles, and degradation cost.

  1. Set the battery capacity and power.
  2. Check state of charge, cycles, and equivalent cycles.
  3. Compare modeled BESS performance with DAM and export the CSV for your own review.

Assess a storage-arbitrage scenario: charge in cheaper hours and discharge in dearer ones, accounting for efficiency and degradation. This is a modeled result before execution, liquidity, and other costs — not realized P&L or an investment promise.

Subscription and limitsSubscription and limits

Subscription and limits

Your plan, included AI briefs, seats and API, current usage, and the upgrade path.

  1. Review your plan and current usage.
  2. Check remaining quota for AI briefs, API, and exports.
  3. Upgrade when the team needs more.

Pay for value: start small and scale with the desk; usage is metered transparently, with no surprises on the invoice.

Trader

Quickly see low/high hours, verify risk, and export the plan.

  1. Refresh OREE or import CSV.
  2. Review top opportunities and risk gate.
  3. Generate the AI brief.
  4. Export CSV only after your own decision.

Analyst

Compare scenarios, fees, thresholds, and daily performance.

  1. Change strategy parameters.
  2. Compare the DAM plan with backtesting.
  3. Review BESS assumptions.
  4. Save CSV for the next model.

Risk / Compliance

See data source, guardrails, audit trail, and human approval.

  1. Check OREE or CSV source.
  2. Review the risk score.
  3. Inspect audit events.
  4. Stop export if a blocking risk appears.

BESS team

Estimate charge/discharge over DAM with efficiency and degradation.

  1. Set capacity and power.
  2. Review cycles and equivalent cycles.
  3. Compare BESS P&L with DAM.
  4. Export BESS CSV for modeling.

Developer / API

Connect signals, risk reports, BESS plans, and audit to internal systems.

  1. Open API docs.
  2. Inspect OpenAPI JSON.
  3. Add an API key in production.
  4. Log integration actions in tenant audit.

Lead

Assess economics, control, and next automation stages.

  1. Review expected P&L.
  2. Confirm human approval remains in place.
  3. Assess the BESS/API roadmap.
  4. Define automation boundaries.

Accessibility and usability

  • Light and dark themes work on the website and in the app.
  • Dense mode reduces workspace spacing for repeated daily use.
  • Buttons have visible loading and ready states so users understand what is happening.
  • Text and tables adapt to mobile, and motion respects the system prefers-reduced-motion setting.

Export without surprises

  • Plan export creates a CSV and writes an audit event.
  • BESS export creates a separate CSV with charge/discharge cycles.
  • AI does not approve orders: it explains and prepares the package for a human.
  • Before future auto-submit, roles, limits, legal review, and integration audit are required.

Start in the workspace

Open the demo, refresh OREE, review the hindsight AI brief for the last completed day, and export CSV. Generating a brief for current and forward decisions requires sign-in and a paid plan. This is the baseline daily Alvo v1 route.
