Provides detection of insider trading and market abuse - supports Mifid, MAD and ESMA Guidelines. Why market surveillance systems? Regulators and FSAs are increasingly focused on regulating the financial markets. Focus has been on minimizing risks and to prevent insider trading and market abuse. Exchanges, MTFs, banks and brokerage firms have to comply with laws and regulations and to minimize all risks involved. ESMA guidelines came into effect in May 2012 and they stipulate that all these actors need to have efficient surveillance systems in place. What is InstantWatch Market? InstantWatch Market is a very powerful platform for automatic surveillance and compliance. It is already leading the market in northern Europe. InstantWatch Market analyses a flow of financial transactions such as trades, orders and news from exchanges and MTFs in real time, and then issues alerts according to a configurable rule system. How does InstantWatch Market find suspicious insider trading and market abuse? The system’s automatic monitoring module performs advanced pattern analysis of each transaction. InstantWatch Market contains all alert types needed by exchanges and brokerage firms, according to the specified scenarios in Mifid, MAD and ESMA guidelines - as well as other laws/regulations. The user can configure alert triggers and set the thresholds in real time. How are alerts handled? The system issues an alert when a pre-defined scenario in an alert trigger is fulfilled. A single, or several, alerts are handled as a case that needs to be investigated, documented and sometimes reported. InstantWatch Market provides powerful tools to assist the user in this process. The instrument monitor immediately gives a clear picture of what has happened. It shows the actual instrument development during a chosen time. The instrument can be compared to an index or another instrument. The order player can play, or replay, each order event in the markets. It makes it possible to analyse order entering situations as well as “best execution”. Can it monitor simultaneous trade of an instrument on several exchanges? Yes, InstantWatch Market is developed to handle fragmentized trading of an instrument on several markets. Can it handle the large number of events created by HFT, high frequency trading?
