What Is “Trade Surveillance” Software in a CEX?

Trade surveillance software in a Centralized Exchange (CEX) is an automated system designed to monitor, analyze, and flag suspicious trading activity in real-time. This software uses algorithms to detect patterns indicative of market manipulation, such as front-running, spoofing, wash trading, and insider trading.

It monitors order book activity, trade executions, and communication data. Once a pattern is flagged, the system alerts the compliance team for investigation and potential regulatory action.

This is a core component of market integrity and regulatory compliance.
