Submission Services™

From Strategy and Creation to Execution, All in One Solution

Blue triangle with screen and person on computer
7 US ISOs supported with a single, standardized execution workflow
79 validation checks embedded to ensure you successfully submit every time
10,000+ trades per submission with no trade count limits and ISO-optimized processing
100% submission success rate, excluding ISO system and trader-related issues

Submission Services removes friction and risk from day-ahead virtual and spread trade execution. Embedded directly into the Yes Energy tools traders already use, it standardizes workflows across ISOs, automates trade submissions and clearance processing, and provides real-time performance visibility.

Built-in validation helps prevent costly errors, while proactive monitoring and expert managed ISO updates help ensure timely execution, so traders can focus less on managing processes and more on executing profitable strategies with confidence.

“Yes Energy excels at a lot of things, but the biggest and most shining example would be how much they consolidate workflows.”
David Starks, Real-time Trader, Basin Electric
“Yes Energy has enabled our production to increase. It's allowed us to move faster in making decisions. And this is a fast-paced business that you can't get caught waiting around because you're going to miss out.”
Dustin Odum,Southeast Power Coordinator, Rainbow Energy Marketing Corporation

Frequently Asked Questions on Submission Services

Who can benefit the most from Submission Services? This solution can benefit any organization trading virtuals and spreads—whether a trading shop, utility, or independent power producer—in U.S. ISOs.
What sets your solution apart from other power trading tools?

Most third-party submission tools force you to take additional steps that take time away from virtual trading. Submission Services combines portfolio analysis, validation, execution, and clearance processing in a standardized multi-ISO workflow, all within the same tools you use to research your trading strategies. Proactive monitoring, automated retries, and expert ISO support help reduce the burden of maintaining submission infrastructure.

Can I use Submission Services alone or in conjunction with other Yes Energy products? Submission Services is directly embedded within the same Yes Energy (Power Signals® and DataSignals®) tools you use for market intelligence and portfolio analysis, and offers APIs for integration with internal trading and reporting systems. This enables you to research and submit trades to multiple ISOs, then track and manage your portfolios all from a single tool.
Are there technical requirements to implementing this power trading solution? None.
How do I know I can rely on Submission Services?

With the highest commitment to data quality, Yes Energy's team of experts stays abreast of market developments and proactively updates Submission Services per ISO requirements—coordinating with ISO operators when external system issues require escalation. Centralized monitoring, automated alerts, and  enhanced error logs help our teams identify and resolve operational issues effectively, making it easy for you to focus on trading, not maintaining technology.

A dedicated, highly knowledgeable support team is available to answer any queries you have.

Is this solution a costly energy trading risk management (ETRM) tool? Submission Services is not an ETRM. It’s a turnkey virtual and spread trade execution solution with a substantially lower price point than a traditional ETRM. However, its API will integrate with your current ETRM tool.
How long will it take me to get up and running? The team's extremely efficient setup can have you up and running in hours instead of months of costly implementation.
What if we have an internal tool to submit trades? With Submission Services, Yes Energy does all of the work of training and supporting your staff for a cost-effective solution that is actively monitored and supported with 100% uptime rates. Yes Energy also takes care of updating the solution when ISOs modify their processes and systems.
What if I usually submit my trades near the deadline? Submission Services' advanced functionality lets you edit and submit your trades up until the submission deadlines. It also has built-in validation on trade rules (such as price, volume limitations, and invalid node checks) and overlap warnings to prevent any issues.

You can see ISO messaging to provide the clear status of your trade submissions:
