Frequently asked questions

Coverage, access and the limits of a finding.

Which markets does TradingSurv cover?

European wholesale power: 38 bidding zones across 24 countries (21 EU member states, plus Great Britain, Norway and Switzerland), and 23 continuous intraday market areas. Availability varies by product.

Check coverage
Does a finding mean market abuse occurred?

No. Findings are indicators for human review. Unseen constraints, outages and hedges can explain them. Reconstructed findings carry model error.

Read finding limits
How accurate is the merit-order reconstruction?

Error is reported per zone, using walk-forward calibration. Hydro scheduling, scarcity and congestion can weaken the baseline.

Read calibration and model error
Does TradingSurv monitor my own orders and trades?

No. It supplies published market context downstream of your existing surveillance system. It does not ingest your firm's order and trade feed.

Why are bid curves missing for some zones?

Some zones publish no aggregated curves. In covered zones, an older curve is available only if it was captured, except where the exchange serves history live.

Read curve availability
How far back does the data go?

It depends on the stream. Captured curves start when collection began; live regulatory feeds generally serve wider histories. Each screen reports unavailable dates.

Does TradingSurv file REMIT or MAR reports for me?

No. It produces evidence that informs whether a report is warranted. Submitting a suspicious transaction or order report, and deciding to, remain the firm's process.
