Radar Alerts for Institutions
How Exchanges, Regulators, and Index Providers Monitor Market Events & Rumors
Overview
The Radar Process
1. Collection: News, social media, and official exchange announcements are obtained in real-time from global sources.
2. Translation & Mapping: All are translated into English, companies, cryptocurrencies, people, products, and other assets are identified and mapped to universal IDs.
3. Client Filters: References to user-defined topics such as price manipulation, insider activity, merger activity, and trading halts are identified in each sentence and selected for further analysis.
4. Summarization: AI examines the selection of relevant sentences and produces short updates with links back to the key source articles.
5. Delivery: Alerts and daily digests are available via dashboard, email, and API.

• Announced or rumored mergers requiring index review or rebalancing
• Reports of manipulation or unusual trading behavior.
• Trading halts or regulatory actions affecting index eligibility.
Analysts receive daily digests of relevant developments for all covered constituents. The summaries allow quick review and escalation to index committees without manual searches or general web alerts.
Regulators and Market Surveillance Units
Regulatory teams use the tool to detect early signs of misconduct or market irregularities. Typical monitoring topics include:
• Price manipulation and “pump-and-dump” claims.

The alerts provide multilingual coverage and clear source links for further investigation.

Stock Exchanges
Stock exchanges apply Radar Alerts to support market integrity teams. Use cases include:
• Reports on financial instability among listed companies, counterparties, or the financial sector as a whole.
• Detecting pre-announcement leaks or rumors before official filings
• Tracking company-specific news that may justify trading suspensions or disclosures.
• Monitoring social-media discussions for emerging risks.
Exchanges integrate the alerts into their surveillance systems, ensuring timely visibility.
Implementation
Clients may use a self-service model or define their unique topic lists, company universes, and alert frequency for the MarketPsych team to implement into filters. The team configures the feed and summary format. Delivery occurs via email, API, or dashboard integration. This customized system can be updated based on user feedback, and as new topics or markets are added.
Client Outcomes
The value-add of Radar Alerts is reduced time to detect material news or rumors, broader visibility across global sources, lower reliance on manual searches and Google Alerts, and a clear audit trail linking each summary to original sources.
