  3. Traditional market surveillance has focused on intra-exchange trade data • Market surveillance teams have traditionally only had to worry about one market venue: their own • Equities and options data can capture unusual trading behavior • But new times call for new approaches to market surveillance • The goal of these comments is to help you think broadly about the meaning and practice of market surveillance today

  4. There are many ways to manipulate a market • Accumulating a large stock position while hedging out the economic impact with options • Pushing up equity prices on exchange in order to cash out in an OTC equity derivatives markets • Simulating a short sale using derivatives in order to avoid exchange restrictions • The “married put”

  7. A new market environment requires adapting • Regulators are considering expanding and centralizing market surveillance activity • US recently called for centralized market surveillance for all liquidity centers • MiFID and Reg NMS have caused exchanges to monitor competitor data as well • Isolated data on one exchange miss activity on another • Dark pools contain trading data that is captured next day or missed entirely • All liquidity centers contain trade information, simply not all of it may be available in real time

  8. Our Conclusions • Exchanges should think broadly about the meaning of market surveillance • Bond, contracts for differences, single stock futures and securities lending data should all be included in market models • Exchanges are tightly integrated with other markets • What other kinds of market activity should be watched closely? • Hedging vs. directional trades? • Underlying identity of the client? • News feeds?
