About Kongwell

Who we are

Kongwell Energy Trading is a privately-held quantitative trading firm founded by senior professionals with a track record that spans multiple asset classes. Our collective background in quantitative research, exchange technology, and risk management lets us approach energy markets with the same rigour typically reserved for global macro desks – only applied to the nuanced dynamics of power markets.

What we do

We deploy proprietary algorithms and statistical models to identify and correct market inefficiencies. By supplying disciplined, price-sensitive order flow, we help validate quoted prices and accelerate price discovery during periods of heightened volatility.

Powering Transparent Markets

Why it matters

Efficient, transparent pricing is essential to the smooth functioning of Europe’s energy ecosystem. Our strategies support the objectives of REMIT by:

Enhancing liquidity - Our disciplined, price-sensitive order flow converts passive quotes into executed trades, prompting market makers to refresh prices and supporting tighter spreads and deeper order books.

Accelerating price discovery - By swiftly lifting and hitting out-of-line quotes we transmit information across venues, aligning prices with underlying fundamentals.

Reducing systemic risk - Robust pre-trade limits, kill-switches, and real-time surveillance keep our activity safe and orderly.

How we operate

100 % proprietary capital - no external investors or clients. Sophisticated simulations and back-testing ensure stability and safety of our strategies, even in volatile markets. Transparent governance framework, with formal policies for risk management and purely algorithmic trading, all ACER-compliant.

Our Mission is simple

Deliver measurable efficiency gains to Europe’s energy markets – quietly, responsibly, and with unwavering respect for the rules that keep those markets fair.
