Edit draft bid
The only bid you may edit is your draft bid. If you would like to edit another bid, for example an algo bid, you must load it into draft first.
If the settlementdate is today then a draft bid will open on the current dispatch interval. This DI will be grey. The next DI is black text meaning it has yet to be dispatched by AEMO.
