Trade surveillance refers to the process of monitoring, analyzing, and reviewing trading activities to detect and prevent market abuse, fraud, insider trading, and other unethical or illegal practices. It helps financial institutions and regulatory bodies ensure fair, transparent, and compliant markets by identifying suspicious patterns, unusual behaviors, or potential violations. Modern trade surveillance solutions leverage advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics to provide real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and predictive insights. By integrating with trading platforms, these systems enhance risk management, strengthen compliance, and maintain market integrity in increasingly complex financial environments.
