I use Dynamic ESS in Trade mode. When I have more power available than I can use right now, it is exporting it into the grid, since it had planned for more consumption, apparently. It is selling at a low price and planning to buy back in the evening for a higher price. See screenshot for prices and what’s happening right now. Dynamic ESS target SOC is currently 61%. Therefore it is not touching the battery but feeding into the grid. ![Screenshot 2025-03-16 at 10-34-25 Sävastnäs - VRM Portal](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/victron/original/3X/f/1/f1d9f215b4586185c6cc9170d97edb532b585b91.png) ---

I have posted a similar issue, never got any reaction. It’s a strange and stupid algorithm selling back the net with the knowledge that it has to buy back at a later stage. Even in ‘green mode’. Did you come further / any solution?
