Real-Time Market Surveillance and Trade Monitoring

Too often, today's market surveillance and control systems fail to deliver. Systems designed for sophisticated correlation and analysis are just too slow to keep up. With trading systems increasingly automated, the opportunities for manipulative behavior are there and the news abounds with stories of rogue trading activity that has taken advantage.

As for more real-time systems, they often generate too many false alerts or they offer alerts without meaningful insight. The requirement is for individual firms and trading venues and regulators consider real-time market surveillance and trade monitoring systems that can identify and report suspicious transactions - before the real damage is done.

Enter the Apama Market Surveillance and Monitoring Accelerator, developed in partnership with Alerts4.

Identify and Stop Suspicious Transactions Before Damage is Done

Built on top of Progress Apama's industry-leading complex event processing (CEP) technology, the Market Surveillance and Monitoring Accelerator monitors, analyzes and acts on fast moving market conditions, generating alerts to analysts who now can respond while there is time.

The Market Surveillance Accelerator harnesses the power of the Apama platform to provide superior market surveillance capabilities. Including pre-developed surveillance scenarios covering major types of suspicious behaviors (e.g. insider trading & front-running) the Accelerator provides the building blocks to create a sophisticated yet easy-to-manage solution for monitoring trading or market-making activities. With Apama, you can identify suspicious transactions in real-time, identifying activity that suggests possible market abuse or manipulation.

The Market Surveillance and Monitoring Accelerator also offers monitoring dashboards that you can customize for a highly intuitive view of market and trade activities. And with the richness of the Apama platform's integration framework, the Market Surveillance Accelerator can be connected to any venue.
