Commodity Trading and Risk Management Software
RiskNet is the CTRM platform Mobius builds, deploys and runs. One system of record for physical and financial commodity positions, valued against live curves, with the exposure, hedge and settlement reporting that sits on top of it.
A commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) system is the book of record for a commodity-exposed business. It captures physical and financial trades as they are struck, values open positions against live forward curves, aggregates exposure across commodities and counterparties, and produces the position, P&L and risk reporting a treasurer, risk officer or lender relies on. One client used RiskNet to evaluate complex settlement scenarios and quantify their impact on physical cash flows, credit exposure and hedging strategy — work that unlocked millions in value while materially reducing risk.
What RiskNet does
Commodity risk management software for physical and financial positions — valuation, exposure, hedge reporting and settlement in one cloud CTRM platform.
Positions, valuation and mark-to-market
Deal capture handles the instruments a commodity book actually carries — physical purchases and sales, swaps, options, collars, three-ways, basis and index formulas — natively, without workarounds. Hedge and underlying net into the same view, so coverage is visible at the position level rather than reconstructed at month end. Positions are valued against integrated price and curve feeds, with curves and assumptions visible, so a mark can be reproduced and defended rather than accepted.
Cloud CTRM, live in 48 hours
The RiskNet core platform is onboarded and ready to use in as little as 48 hours across multiple commodities, with audited controls. Integrations — price feeds, ETRM/ERP, banks and exchanges — data migration and customization are what extend a full rollout. RiskNet provides functionality beyond that of legacy CTRM software, at a fraction of the commonly seven-figure platform fees.
Exposure, VaR and portfolio visualization
RiskNet applies M(β)risk™ (M-Risk), Mobius's proprietary methodology for risk assessment, alongside Value at Risk, potential future exposure, sensitivities and scenario analysis. Comprehensive portfolio visualization allows carving, rolling up and drilling down for position, credit, risk and cashflow, physical and financial.

CTRM or ETRM — which does your book need?
Energy trading and risk management (ETRM) software is the same category with an energy emphasis and deeper scheduling and physical logistics. CTRM is the broader term, covering gas, power, crude, refined products, agriculturals and metals.
CTRM
All traded commodities. Multi-commodity position, valuation and risk. Used by producers, industrial and chemical buyers, midstream operators and treasury teams. RiskNet is multi-commodity commodity management software, with core onboarding in as little as 48 hours.
ETRM
Energy-centric: power, natural gas, crude and refined products, with deeper scheduling and physical logistics. Used by utilities, generators and energy marketers. Energy books run inside the same RiskNet platform.
If exposure is confined to power and gas, an energy trading software package may be sufficient. If you trade or consume across several commodities — or expect to — a multi-commodity CTRM avoids running a separate system per book.
Cloud CTRM — deployment, security and integrations
RiskNet is delivered as a cloud CTRM platform with secure web-based access, so there is no hardware to procure, no on-site install and no upgrade project. Offsite backup and disaster recovery, encryption in transit and at rest, and a 99.99% service level agreement sit underneath it. Compliance reporting covers FERC, Dodd-Frank, EMIR, FAS and SOX.
Integrations are what connect the platform to the rest of the operation: market data and forward curves; ETRM and ERP systems for trade capture and settlement; accounting and the general ledger; bank and exchange connectivity for confirmations, margin and clearing; and a deal-capture API to third-party systems. Market data comes first, because every valuation depends on it. The rest are sequenced against how quickly each is needed to run the book.
Secure
Offsite backup and disaster recovery. 99.99% service level agreement. Data security through encryption. Instantaneous access to market and pricing information.
Robust
Portfolio, commodity and site level information. Sensitivity analyses and exposures (M(β)risk, VaR and PFE). Risk levels and compliance across FERC, Dodd-Frank, EMIR, FAS and SOX. Scenario analysis and risk exposure models.
Flexible
Access to the contract and invoice database. Customized reporting. Option pricing models. Third party valuations. Deal capture API to third party systems.
What RiskNet does not do — and what you get instead
Two capabilities buyers look for when they evaluate commodity trading software are deliberately not in RiskNet. Both are worth being explicit about, because the reason is structural rather than a gap in the roadmap.
Algorithmic and automated execution
RiskNet does not route orders or execute trades algorithmically. Automated execution means a system that decides and transacts on its own account; the Mobius model keeps the decision with you and keeps Mobius on the same side of it.
What you get instead is the part algorithmic tools are usually bought for — speed between “I should hedge” and “it is priced.” M-Direct prices and structures a hedge on demand against the Mobius Liquidity Curve, which reflects where trades can actually be done and updates through the day from live transactions rather than republished market data. M(β)risk indicates which structure and tenor does the most work against the exposure you carry. And where you want the trade handled rather than executed in-house, Mobius acts as your agent in execution — at your instruction, on your side of the position.
Brokerage and market-making
Mobius does not take the other side of client trades and does not earn brokerage on the hedges it recommends. The platform, the pricing inputs and the people advising on the risk all sit together, on one side of your position. That structure is what “unconflicted” refers to, and it is the reason the two items above are absent.
Three ways to run it
The workflow is outcome-oriented in all three, and clients move between them in both directions.
Self-serve
Your team runs the process. Mobius fits the technology and reporting around how you already work and supports the tools you use to run it.
Supported
You keep the wheel; Mobius covers what is hard to staff for — bid week, a settlement cycle, a structuring question, a counterparty dispute.
Managed
Mobius drives the process on your behalf and reports back the completed cycle.
Why the platform comes from Mobius
Mobius is an independent, unconflicted commodity and energy risk advisor. We do not take the other side of our clients’ trades, and RiskNet is deployed by the same team that advises on the underlying risk — so the system is configured around how the exposure is actually managed, rather than against a generic template.
That team transacts on the desk, holds the contracts, runs the operation and sees the pattern across the client book. Those four things are what the analytics in RiskNet are built out of.
Frequently asked questions
What does CTRM stand for?
Commodity trading and risk management. A CTRM system captures physical and financial commodity trades, values open positions against market curves, measures market and credit exposure, and produces position, P&L and risk reporting from a single book of record.
What is the difference between CTRM and ETRM software?
CTRM is the broader category, covering all traded commodities. ETRM is the energy-focused expression of the same idea, with deeper scheduling and physical logistics. RiskNet manages energy books inside the same multi-commodity platform, so the two do not have to be separate systems.
How long does it take to implement RiskNet?
The core platform is onboarded and ready to use in as little as 48 hours across multiple commodities. Integrations — price feeds, ETRM/ERP, banks and exchanges — data migration and customization are what extend a full rollout.
Is RiskNet a cloud CTRM platform?
Yes. RiskNet is cloud-based with secure web-based access, offsite backup and disaster recovery, encryption in transit and at rest, and a 99.99% service level agreement. There is no hardware to procure and no upgrade project.
Does RiskNet replace our ERP?
No. It sits in front of it. RiskNet manages positions, exposure and hedges, then passes reconciled figures to the ERP for settlement and financial reporting.
Do we need commodity risk management software if we hedge in spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets are workable for a small, single-commodity book. They carry no enforced audit trail, break silently, and cannot aggregate exposure across commodities or produce a defensible mark. The practical test: if one analyst were unavailable for a week, could the desk still value its book and report exposure accurately?
Does RiskNet do algorithmic or automated trading?
No. RiskNet does not route orders or execute trades algorithmically. It prices, values and reports on positions. M-Direct delivers indicative pricing on demand, M(β)risk indicates which structure fits the exposure, and where a client wants the trade handled, Mobius executes as the client’s agent at the client’s instruction.
Does Mobius broker my trades or take the other side of them?
No. Mobius does not take the other side of client trades and does not earn brokerage on the hedges it recommends. The platform, the pricing and the advice sit on the same side of your position.
Which commodities does RiskNet cover?
Natural gas, power, crude, refined products, NGLs, agriculturals and metals, physical and financial, in one platform.
