National Commodity Exchange Limited (NCEL) is expanding its market surveillance capabilities by building a completely automated market monitoring system which will use artificial intelligence as its primary referent.
This market monitoring system entails exploratory data mining, using artificial neutral networks, consisting of techniques that will enable exchanges' surveillance and market monitoring teams to efficiently sift through extensive amounts of data and help with data clustering, classification, and in supervised networks, novelty detection, a statement of NCEL on Monday said.
It said that it is a market monitoring engine, which can be used to detect and consequently protect the market from manipulation and illegal practices related to trading in financial markets.
Innovations in the field of market monitoring are very much needed in Pakistan's markets, which currently use systems fraught with inefficiencies, and the use of such networks is the next step towards promoting transparent, competitive and financially sound markets.
The objective of Market Monitoring Systems (MMS) will be to protect the integrity of the market, by monitoring trading activity, prevention and elimination of rumours instantly, and to detect and prevent market manipulation and illegal practices.
The purpose of MMS is to efficiently identify and classify situations that may give rise to potential threats of manipulation, and subsequently trigger appropriate courses of action. By monitoring in real time large transactions, key price movements and supply and demand factors, MMS will be able to detect potential market problems.
Potential users of MMS include exchanges, credit card companies and credit bureau's. NCEL expects that the software would take approximately three to four months before it is available for a commercial launch.
