Compliance vendor says upcoming automatic trade reconstruction will slash processing times and allow users to monitor news feeds to detect insider trading.
In this Waters Technology article, SteelEye's CEO, Matt Smith, discusses SteelEye's upcoming automatic trade reconstruction solution.
SteelEye’s Auto-Trade Reconstruction will cut the trade reconstruction process down to seconds and introduce a feature that allows clients to monitor suspicious trading volumes, using data from news and Twitter feeds.
"In order to comprehensively investigate potential insider trading activity, firms must be able to monitor a range of information and quickly. Currently, the process of trade reconstruction involves studying data points around transactions and looking for unusual activity," says Matt Smith, CEO of SteelEye.
"To really get the whole picture, firms need to understand what is being said across a range of communications channels and what is going on with information that’s publicly available or not publicly available at the time of the transaction or order."
With SteelEye's Auto-Trade Reconstruction the process of bringing together all relevant information relating to an order or a trade will only take one or two seconds.
The platform looks at any given scenario or piece of data and simultaneously brings together all information that is deemed to be relevant. By accepting or rejecting these "suggestions" the systems also learns as it goes along, becoming better at reconstructing each scenario. This means that firms can immediately dive into a particular trade or order and automatically see all the relating phone calls, meetings, WhatsApp messages, as well as finding out information about the trade/order itself.
