eol data mining vince , here are four graphs i came up with yesterday afternoon that may be of interest : the first one shows what percentage of our trades are done with different counterparties - ( note the large part that aquila plays ! ) the other three graphs look at how trading volume varies during the week between the hours of 8 : 00 am and 4 : 00 pm for different categories of product . natural gas and power have their own graphs , as they have the largest traded volumes . " products " is for the remaining categories . there are still some things i would like to take a look at . the databeacon software is now available , and can be reached at the following url : do you have any specific questions that you would like me to try answering regarding eol ? i have also started doing some research on automated trading platforms . are there any websites and / or papers you would recommend i read ? thanks , tom
