Rich ASP Web Application: No software to install or firewall ports to open.

COMET is a truly web-based application that requires only a browser to access. Communicating over the Internet using secure encrypted SSL protocol, you can be confident about the security of all your transactional data. (Minimum Requirements: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or Mozilla Firefox 3.6)

Intuitive Interface: Reduces training time and fosters productivity.

COMET employs intuitive screen layouts, standard industry terms, and familiar icons and features. Its quick-start design is intended to minimize ramp-up time and maximize your firm’s productivity.

Pay-As-You-Go Plan: No software charges, license fees or obligations.

COMET charges no fee to establish your company on the platform and requires no costly internal IT resources. You pay for executed volumes only. And since there are no added charges, you can designate users throughout your organization (back office, risk, credit, legal, etc.) to assist collaboration, dovetail internal processes, optimize productivity and deliver maximum value.

User Administration: You control user’s setup and entitlements.

Flexible and full-featured administrator functions allow your company to manage company-wide profiles, individual users and a range of entitlements, such as commodities, markets, transaction limits, counterparties and more at any time. No need for costly or time-consuming IT or vendor support personnel. With an easy-to-use administrator interface, you can make required changes on the fly.

Email Alerts: COMET will alert you when attention is needed.

The market is volatile and you’re busy. With the COMET email alert feature, there’s no need to stare at your screen waiting for deals. Receive automated alerts when one of your counterparties sends you a submission. You can direct email alerts to your computer, phone, Blackberry or other capable device and never miss a market opportunity.

Flexible Deal Structures: COMET supports a range of natural gas deal types.

You can trade physical and financial markets. You can trade long-dated or short on the curve. Deal structures, such as fixed, basis, swaps, options and collars, are all supported. Distribute RFPs, seek indicative prices or post executable transaction terms. The flexible design incorporates complex factors, such as special terms, user comments and more.Top

System Directory: Provides deal control and an improved market scale.

Robust directory features give you power to expose the transaction to your desired counterparties only. The system directory increases your market scope and scale by listing company names, commodities they transact in and their active market locations.

Transaction Control: COMET offers complete control over transactions.

You decide whether a deal is indicative or executable, and how long it’s exposed to your counterparties. As an originator, you have the ability to “kill” a transaction at any time. The system administrator function expands this control and allows managers to end all active transactions on a user-by-user basis.

Electronic Execution: Get deals done on COMET.

Executed transactions are logged in the COMET database and trigger automated email confirmation to both parties. Using the system administrator tool, you can easily direct email confirmations to appropriate personnel within your organization.

Industry-Leading Logging: COMET provides best-in-class logging feature.

Comprehensive logging and audit trail mechanisms capture all details from every transaction — not just executed transactions, but complete negotiations, terms and comments. It’s the most powerful audit trail available in the industry today.

Data Extraction: Integrates data with your internal systems.

Using the system administrator tool, you can define the data elements that transfer from the COMET platform to your other internal systems. You can customize transaction details to easily distribute within your organization.

COMET is 100% browser based.

There is no software to download and nothing to install.

System Requirements:

RAM: Minimum required to run operating system (One gigabyte recommended).

Browser Requirements: MS Internet Explorer 7.0 or above, or Mozilla Firefox 3.6 or above.

Firewall Requirements: COMET communicates bi-directionally using HTTPS via Port 443. This is the standard port for secure SSL connections and as such should not require any changes by your corporate IT staff. If your company’s security strategy restricts port 443, then firewall modifications may be necessary. See you internal corporate IT staff or contact the TruMarx Technical Support team for assistance.
