Market Data Monitoring (MDM)

Challenge

There are a number of reasons why data becomes erroneous, and the effects of poor quality data on traders’ P&L can be significant. Financial institutions must first ensure maximum availability consists of checking in real time the status of the connections to all market data sources. The next stage is to monitor the performance of these feeds to ensure that latency meets existing SLAs and the underlying infrastructure can support current and future update rates. Finally, organisations should monitor the accuracy and resiliency of market data feeds by comparing price and latency across different feeds.

The process of monitoring market data is not an easy task. It requires handling an ever-larger volume of market data volumes, processing the data to extract insights and then alerting the relevant person once an issue arises.
