Investigate faster. Comply with confidence. Reduce your regulatory risk.
Compass Trade Surveillance System continuously monitors order and trade flow to detect market manipulation and other abusive trading practices — from spoofing and layering to wash trading, marking the close, and front running. Every alert can be visualized down to the individual order, so your compliance team can investigate potential market abuse quickly and efficiently rather than piecing together a timeline by hand.
Order events and messages are captured into a time-series database and evaluated continuously by a real-time analysis rules engine, surfacing alerts and investigation tools the moment a pattern crosses a threshold. Alert rules are fully configurable to fit your business and minimize false positives, and every user benefits from a shared library of best-practice alerts developed and refined across the full Compass user base.
Turn detection rules on or off and tune each one — time window, recurring count, quantity and fill ratios — for scenarios like spoofing, wash trading, front running, and marking the close, all from a single configuration screen.
Every alert can be traced down to the individual order — account, exchange, instrument, price, quantity, and side — visualized on a timeline alongside the surrounding trade activity.
Order events and messages are collected in real time, stored in a time-series database, and evaluated continuously by the analysis rules engine — surfacing alerts and investigation tools the moment a pattern is detected.
