At Charles River Trading, we specialize in power trading across multiple Independent System Operators (ISOs) in the United States, covering over 30 states. Our strategies span both short-term virtual trading and longer-term transmission products such as Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs).

Our mission is to design and execute highly profitable trading strategies by leveraging advanced technologies, including quantitative analysis, power system modeling, and machine learning. By integrating data-driven insights with deep domain expertise, we aim to capture inefficiencies across both day-ahead and forward markets.

Our name, Charles River Trading, reflects both our roots and our ambitions. Founded by MIT PhD graduates, we embody the spirit of innovation and excellence inspired by the Charles River that flows through the MIT campus.

Join us as we shape the future of power trading with intelligence, precision, and disciplined risk management.
