DETECT MANIPULATION ACROSS CORRELATED INSTRUMENTS

Cross-product and cross-market surveillance

See the full picture across products and markets

Markets are interconnected and so is risk. You need to monitor behavior across related instruments, venues, and asset classes in real time.

OneTick lets you detect manipulation across structurally linked products, such as equities and their derivatives, as well as non-structural correlations driven by market behavior. You can ingest your own correlation matrices or generate them directly from OneMarketData.

That means you uncover patterns that span products, issuers, and markets, even when links aren’t obvious.

Examples include mini manipulation across equity and futures underliers and options, imbalanced trading such as ramping and momentum ignition, and insider dealing across issuer-related instruments.

ENSURING EMPLOYEE COMPLIANCE

Personal Account Dealing (PAD) surveillance module

Strengthen oversight of employee trading

Employee trading requires clear visibility, controlled access, and defensible processes. You need a structured way to monitor activity, enforce internal policies, and demonstrate compliance when regulators ask questions.

OneTick’s Personal Account Dealing (PAD) surveillance module gives you a dedicated framework to supervise employee trading with precision. You can monitor activity, apply tailored alert logic, and maintain documented investigations within a controlled environment designed for compliance teams.

ParquetCustomizable web
dashboard

Give compliance teams a focused workspace to review alerts, analyze employee activity, and record decisions efficiently.

ParquetSegregated user access

Limit access to sensitive PAD data through role-based controls that protect confidentiality and support governance standards.

ParquetIndependent
perimeters

Set thresholds and surveillance logic specific to employee trading to reflect your internal policies and risk appetite.

ParquetAudit-ready case management

Maintain complete investigation records with documented actions, commentary, and time-stamped audit trails to support regulatory inquiries.

FROM DETECTION TO RESOLUTION

Efficient alert management and compliance workflows

Flexible alert run modes

Run alerts in real-time (CEP) for immediate market disruption events, intraday for most market abuse scenarios, or T+1/daily for multi-day and profile-based alerts.

Multiple alert output types

Generate alerts, exceptions, pattern alerts, reports, and data quality checks from a single surveillance workflow.

Integration with Case Management System (CMS)

Route alerts into your CMS with workflow controls, case merging, attachments, search, comments, and reminders.

Sandbox testing and calibration

Test and tune alert parameters in a sandbox environment to adjust and test alert parameters without affecting the production environment.

THE DATA CAPABILITIES YOU REQUIRE

Intuitive investigation & comprehensive data handling

Highly performant & customizable user interface with all of the data capabilities you require

Triage dashboards

Offers web-based dashboards for efficient review, rapid triage, assigning, reviewing, annotating, and archiving alerts. Features include flexible filtering and grouping, contextual visualizations showing order states and market data, and multi-day/multi-quote views.

Order book replay (OBR)

Provides a dynamic, visual representation of the order book, allowing users to step through interleaved market and firm/customer orders state by state. It can be launched directly from an alert, with the relevant instrument and time range pre-selected, and allows filtering by specific participants. News and alerts can be overlaid on the market timeline for enhanced context.

Smart Compliance Insights Lab (SC(A)IL)

A SaaS environment based on JupyterLab for deep compliance investigations. It allows users to ask ad-hoc questions using SQL, Python & Pandas, or natural language (via an AI query assistant), create custom visualizations, and generate aggregate reports. It also supports creating “guest alerts” that integrate into the surveillance system.

Robust data ingestion

The OneTick engine supports the simultaneous collection of many real-time data sources, including FIX, Kafka, AMQP, and various proprietary feeds, with high-performance collectors tested at over 500,000 messages per second. It handles diverse data types like reference data, orders, trades, news, and corporate actions.

Data quality assurance (QA)

The system performs dynamic data QA at several stages, including during loading and normalization, and prior to alert generation. It includes a large set of standard “sanity checks” to assess data quality and completeness, which can be configured to block downstream processing if issues are detected.

ONGOING SUPPORT
