Nasdaq Trade Surveillance is a robust platform that includes numerous facets that can be paired to the specific needs of particular industries. Alerts can be tailored to subsets of the market, and regulatory preparations can be aligned with respective requirements for particular asset classes, such as REMIT or MAR for energy. 

Sifting through data to detect potentially damaging patterns and behavior, especially when the available data pool is quite large, can be difficult. Further, tracking across markets, and subsections, can make concise and impactful investigations even more complicated. Using a tool that allows you to focus attention on the needs, requirements, and behavior of particular assets helps optimize efforts and save time. Optimization then allows analysts to spend time on the most pressing alerts.
