Track the entire order flow of the company
With the introduction of MAD 2/MAR, European trading houses are obliged to check their order flow according to a wide range of criteria - regardless of whether orders were placed via their own memberships or via a broker.
- The e-Trading Compliance Monitor aggregates order actions from all connected trading systems in a central database for analysis. The system thus enables seamless monitoring of all trading activities in real time according to the rules from MAD 2/MAR.
- The ECM can be used to enable order flow monitoring in the sense of BaFin Circular 06/2013: »Requirements for Systems and Controls for Algorithm Trading by Institutions« and in the sense of »Final Report ESMA's technical advice on possible delegated acts concerning the Market Abuse Regulation«. Orders enter the system in real time and are also checked for anomalies in real time.
The e-Trading Compliance Monitor (ECM) can run in different modes
»Realtime«
Analyses order flow in real time to comply with BaFin Circular 06/2017.
»t+x«
Analyses the order flow after all data is stored in the ECM database.
