# Forecast-to-Hedge Monitor

Short-term monitoring layer that compares forecasts, spot prices, forward quotes, and operating constraints to support tactical hedging and dispatch decisions.

## What it does

The system brings together short-term market and forecast inputs that usually live in separate places.

It monitors and contrasts:

- price forecasts
- production forecasts
- day-ahead and intraday market prices
- forward references such as `OMIP`
- operating context and deviations

## Inputs

Typical sources include public market feeds and specialised forecast providers such as:

- `ESIOS`
- `OMIE`
- `OMIP`
- `AleaSoft`
- `Meteologica`

## What it is used for

- checking whether expected prices and quoted forwards are aligned or dislocated
- supporting short-term hedging and tactical market decisions
- monitoring expected operating outcomes before settlement is final
- providing a cleaner view of what matters for the next trading window

## Why it matters

Forecasts without market context are noise. Market prices without forecast context are incomplete. This layer exists to close that gap.

## Outputs

- forward matrices and historical forecast views
- short-term monitoring tables
- market commentary for weekly follow-up
- tactical support for hedging and active energy management

## Status

Internal short-term monitoring and decision-support layer in active operational use.
