Molecule is Everything Your ETRM/CTRM System Should Be
Molecule's feature set covers what you'd expect (and many things you might not) from a modern, cloud-native ETRM/CTRM — all in a sleek, easy-to-use, and powerful platform.
Trade Capture
With Molecule, your trades flow in automatically and instantly, through our built-in ICE, CME, Gemini, Nodal Exchange, Trayport, and ISO connectors.
Trading elsewhere? No problem. Use our spreadsheet upload, our API, or even better — our natural language recognition for OTC trades. Just type in your trade and you’re done, in 10 seconds or less.
Trade Types
With 250,000+ physical and financial products traded, representing nearly $100bn in value across 50 commodities daily, we understand what you do — and what is most valuable to you.
Molecule’s ETRM/CTRM supports a variety of trade types, such as:
Exchange Futures
Formula-Priced Deals
PPAs

Data Management
Wherever possible, Molecule provides automatic end-of-day market data, direct into our platform, so your portfolio marks quickly and without you even pushing a button. Connectors for Morningstar and MarketView are standard, and ISO LMPs are included as part of our Elektra package.
Additionally, Molecule enables you to upload market data in the way you need to — whether that’s from a spreadsheet or via API.
Reporting
Molecule produces clear, reliable reporting — with your input as to what it should contain. View it on-screen, download the details, or even hook your own tools up to our API. Then go home early.
Want to analyze your data in your reporting tool of choice? We’ve got you covered. You can export your data into a spreadsheet, connect to a BI platform, or even stream your data into a data lake (like Molecule’s data lake-as-a-service platform, Bigbang).

Molecule APIs
Molecule customers flock to a powerful workhorse enabled across our system, that supports automation, reporting, and integrations: our APIs.
Using our APIs, you have easier access to your Molecule data so you can build richer reports. API use cases include (but are not limited to):
Automate the loading of trades, asset data, marks and custom curves, and tickets.
Extract data, such as positions, valuations, settlements, and snapshots.
Pull data from or push data to custom tools or integrations, such as advanced valuation engines or financial systems.
Pull Molecule data into Power BI, Excel, or a reporting tool of your choice.
We maintain strict security standards, and Molecule APIs are kept secure through the following:
- API keys and complex tokens: enforces authorization of user accounts
- Traffic encryption: prevents external parties from reading data while in transit
- Security testing and protocols: offers additional protection and monitoring
