  • Where there are multiple parameter values with overlapping time periods then the value with the latest insert date applies.

Two time frames of information are provided for each parameter.

  • Current NEM Time shows the Value of each parameter which is currently being consumed by the Algorithms, the To Date Time is when this value expires, the Last Modified At is how long ago this value was inserted and Last Modified By is who inserted the value.

  • All Time shows the maximum To Date Time for all values of each parameter, how long ago the last value was Last Modified At and Last Modified By is who inserted the last updated value.

Parameter Values History

This table shows the complete history of the Algo Bid Parameter inserted into the database. The table also shows the fields of the table where Algo Bid Parameters are stored. The list is in chronological order of insertion (top being the most recent). Hence where the From and To date of different inserts overlap then the latest value applies. In the example below the value of 25 From 2021-07-01 has been replaced by 30 up until the 2021-08-01. Note that because the To date of the last entry is the 2021-08-01 then the value of the previous insert (25) still applies until the 2022-01-01 (which is the To date of the previous insert).

...

  1. Parameters is for setting the Trader Parameters (such as Trader Limit Volume) and any other parameters (such as utilisation of an FCAS or Loss Factors) that are inputs into either the solver or bid allocation process.

  2. Unit Capabilities is unit capability limits (such as Max Bid ROC Up).

  3. Users is for entering and viewing users that may submit bids and includes automated users that interact with the pdBidr (such as Postman) or submits bids (such as pdBidr Algo).

  4. Roles is for defining privileges that can then be allocated to Users.

  5. Bid Allocator (Demo) is a training tool for Users to better understand the effect on FCAS Bid Structure by changing various Trader Parameters.
