Details of TCP

Brief Description:

  The CISCO Trader Control Package (TCP) uses a half-hourly 
  data base to build Overlay Demand Curves, that graphically 
  display the condition of the market i.e the Major Auction. 
  The TCP tracks value and confirms how the commercials are 
  trading. Traders who know the Major Auction can avoid bad 
  trading situations.
  
  The Trader Control Package data becomes available at the end of the
  trading day at 7:30 pm (central time).
   
  Exchanges covered: CBOT, CME, IMM, CSCE, NYMEX, COMEX, NYFE

Value Based Power Trading:

  The Trader Control Package is CISCO's implementation of Value Based 
  Power Trading.  

  For markets in balance we use the OVERLAY DEMAND CURVES (tm) to:

find value,
determine upside/downside breakouts
estimate quality of the (bell shaped) distribution.  

  These reference points define the EXPECTED behavior of the bracketing
  market. 

  Bracketing markets are EXPECTED to remain so. Consequently a move away 
  from the center of the bracket offers opportunity--price is EXPECTED
  to  eventually return to the center.  

  If the UNEXPECTED occurs, i.e. a break-out, it means the condition of 
  the market has changed. We are NO LONGER EXPECTING price to return to
  the centre of the bracket. We are now EXPECTING the market to trend.  

  These principles are the basis of Value-Based Power Trading.
