Algo Bid Parameters
Algo Bid Param Page allows you to edit and update Algo Bid Parameters. These parameters include those used in allocating volume to the ten bid BandAvails, FCAS utilisation and loss factors.
Algo Bid Parameters are consumed by pdBidr Algorithms.
Each Algo Bid Parameter applies to a specific unit and service and each value is inserted into the database with a begin date, end date and an insert date.
Where there are multiple parameter values with overlapping time periods then the value with the latest insert date applies.
Hover over Settings then click Algo Bid Parameters

The screenshot below shows summary information for each Algo Bid Parameter
Click on the image below to see a full screen view.
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 In the example below the value of 25 From 2021-07-01 has been replaced by 30 up until the 2021-08-01.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).
Algo Bid Parameters can be added or removed by contacting pdView. Check your internal Autobidding documentation to see a full list of current Trader Parameters and your processes to manage them.
