Features:
eTM is delivered ‘data ready’ as a cloud service, avoiding the need for complex product implementation and data integration. It thus allows users to focus on their business rather than on the technical complexities of implementing a solution. eTM includes a constant flow of high-quality data – orders and trades, whether traded on exchange, via a broker, or bilaterally. We have addressed the complex task of collecting data from multiple sources and integrating it into a homogenous dataset that is ready for analysis, allowing confident insights and analysis into trading activity and behavior.
The context:
Some trading behaviour can lead to prosecution and severe penalties under anti market abuse legislation, REMIT and MAR. Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) includes an explicit obligation requiring participants in traded markets – including European energy wholesale markets – to introduce appropriate systems to monitor for breaches.
REMIT empowered ACER to monitor all EU electricity and natural gas trading for abuse. They collect all trade, order and fundamental data and centrally analyse trading behaviour of all markets and participants. ACER issued stringent penalities under REMIT for organisations proved being in breach.
