The Tokyo Commodity Exchange has signed a deal with Smarts to implement the Australian vendor's real-time market surveillance system on the futures and options markets.
The applications within the Smarts package provide different views of exhcange trading data, which can be used to study market behavior, investigate trading patterns, and identify aberrant activity.
Smarts is expected to be integrated into Tocom by June 2005 by systems integrator NTT Data.
Tocom, which traded over 74 million contracts in 2004, joins an informal global network of 18 other exchange and regulatory users across 14 countries.
