Financial Trading Trends

Client: Piers Thompson, Bank of America (BAML) <piers.thompson@baml.com>

Over-the-counter (OTC) trading of financial products is less regulated than exchange trading, but also less transparent. To improve market fairness and efficiency, near-realtime details of OTC trades must therefore be placed in a public repository (rtdata.dtcc.com/gtr/dashboard.do). However, since this data is not easy to view and analyse, the aim of increased transparency has not been achieved. The aim of this project is to provide a convenient means of accessing, viewing and analysing OTC trade data. This should provide realtime data on current prices and trading volumes, historic trends, and automated identification of pricing anomalies and trend alerts.
