OneTick Trade and Market Surveillance
OneTick Trade and Market Surveillance helps compliance teams reduce alert noise, investigate real risk faster, and defend every decision — on a data-ready platform that expands with your business.
The OneTick Surveillance Framework
Six Outcomes. One Platform.
What compliance and surveillance teams get, day one — from alert noise to AI-ready evidence.
01
Data Readiness
Customer feeds, market data, reference data, and positions become surveillance-ready.
04
AI-Assisted Triage
ML scoring ranks every alert by risk before an analyst opens the queue.
02
Coverage on Day One
75+ out-of-the-box alert models across MAR, Dodd-Frank/SEC, CFTC, IIROC, ASIC, and MiCAR.
05
Defensible Evidence
Transparent logic, auditable case workflow, and exact market reconstruction, by default.
03
Tuned Signal
Backtest threshold changes in sandbox and promote to production with zero disruption.
06
Expansion Without Rebuilding
New asset classes, venues, and AI capability are additive on one code tree.
See the Platform, Not the Pitch
This Is What 100+ Institutions Actually Run.
No mockups, no concept art — the same triage, replay, and profiling screens analysts use in production today.
Defensible Evidence · Replay
Order Book Replay
Reconstruct exact market conditions at the moment of the event: best bid/ask, book depth, and the highlighted price path, tick by tick — the same view an examiner would need to see.
Tuned Signal · Triage
Alert Triage Dashboard
Every alert scored and ranked before an analyst opens the queue, with the market timeline, fills, and order flow around the event built into the same view — no tab-switching to reconstruct context.
AI-Assisted Triage · Profiling
Trader & Account Profiling
Behavioural baselines per trader and account, with breaches surfaced automatically against volume and turnover norms — so scoring reflects what’s actually unusual for that desk.
Market Abuse Surveillance Capabilities
OneTick Surveillance runs market abuse surveillance across four typologies:
Spoofing Detection
OneTick Surveillance flags spoofing by detecting large orders placed with no intent to execute, then cancelled once the market moves.
Layering Detection
OneTick Surveillance flags layering by detecting multiple orders placed at different price levels to create a false impression of demand.
Marking the Close Detection
OneTick Surveillance flags marking the close by detecting trading concentrated near the close that is designed to influence the closing price.
Cross-Venue Manipulation Detection
OneTick Surveillance flags cross-venue manipulation by correlating orders and trades across venues that a single-venue system would miss.

How It Works
Flexible By Design, From Ingest to Evidence.
SaaS-first delivery, with the deployment and operating model shaped to how your desks actually run.
01
Deploy Your Way
SaaS-first, with PaaS and on-prem available for firms with specific residency or infrastructure requirements — all on the same code tree, so nothing is a fork.
02
Run at Your Pace
Real-time, mini-batch, or T+1 historical processing, with repeatably identical results — production-tested at 500B+ messages a day.
03
One Workflow, Start to Finish
Alert tuning, sandbox testing, scoring, triage, order-book replay, case management, and audit trail — one continuous workflow, not separate tools stitched together.
Security & Data Handling Principles
Dedicated environment. Deploy in your own account, isolated from other tenants, with no requirement to expose it to the public network. |
Private connectivity. PrivateLink and native SFTP transfer support keep data movement off the open internet. |
Data residency. Multi-region, multi-tenant deployment options respect regional data-residency requirements. |
Same Category. Different Operating Model.
Legacy Surveillance vs. AI-Ready Surveillance.
Not a vendor comparison — an operating-model one.
| Legacy Operating Model | AI-Ready Operating Model |
|---|---|
| Fragmented feeds compliance has to clean and reconcile itself | Data ingested, cleansed, and normalized before it reaches an alert model |
| Coverage built for the products you traded when the system launched | 75+ configurable models covering the regimes and asset classes you need, day one |
| Fixed thresholds re-tuned only during major reviews | Thresholds tuned and backtested in sandbox, promoted with zero disruption |
| Evidence assembled manually, under deadline pressure | Exam-ready evidence by default — logic, thresholds, and audit trail attached |
| New asset class or venue means a new build project | New coverage is additive on the same code tree — never a migration |
Regulators are already moving from “do you have surveillance” to “can you explain it” — including any AI involved in how an alert fired.

A focused conversation on where OneTick Surveillance fits your program — not a generic pitch.
In this conversation, we’ll cover:
- Where your data and coverage have gaps today
- How much of your alert queue is avoidable noise
- What AI-assisted triage looks like without a black box
- What expansion looks like on the same platform, later

Questions We Hear Often
Frequently Asked Questions.
OneTick Surveillance is trade surveillance software that detects market abuse across venues and asset classes in real time. It runs on 25+ years of normalized tick data across 200+ exchanges, giving compliance teams one system for coverage, investigation, and evidence.
OneTick Surveillance is built for compliance teams, heads of surveillance, and regulators. Compliance teams use it to reduce alert noise and move from alert to evidence faster. Heads of surveillance use it to cover new asset classes and venues without a replatforming project. Regulators, including the FCA, use it directly to monitor market activity for abuse.
This isn’t about swapping one vendor for another. It’s about moving to an operating model that adapts as trading changes: configurable coverage, sandbox-tested thresholds, and evidence that’s audit-ready by default — without a replatforming project.
The opposite. ML-based scoring ranks every alert by risk before an analyst opens the queue, and thresholds can be backtested and tuned in sandbox — so the goal is fewer, better-targeted alerts, not more.
No — AI-assisted scoring and triage run inside a governed workflow. Every score, threshold, and decision is traceable, so it doesn’t introduce logic your team or an examiner can’t see.
No. Data is ingested, cleansed, and normalized before it reaches an alert model, so messy source feeds don’t have to be solved by your team before you can start.
Yes. 75+ configurable alert models cover major market-abuse and conduct-risk typologies across MAR, Dodd-Frank/SEC, CFTC, IIROC, ASIC, and MiCAR regimes, with multi-region and multi-tenant deployment options.
Yes. Coverage is additive on one code tree — start with one desk or function and expand into new asset classes, venues, or AI capability later without rebuilding.
Trade surveillance monitors orders and trades for market abuse within a firm’s own trading activity. Market surveillance is the broader, often regulator-side monitoring of activity across an entire market. OneTick Surveillance is trade surveillance software built for firms, not a market-wide monitoring system.
Yes. Regulations including MAR, MiFID II, Dodd-Frank, and CFTC rules require firms to monitor trading activity for market abuse and retain evidence of that monitoring.
Regulators expect firms to use compliance tools that detect market abuse, support investigation with a full audit trail, and produce defensible evidence on request. OneTick Surveillance provides all three in one system.
