Use Panopticon data visualization tools with Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines
When the market started to drop precipitously at 2:30 PM on May 6th, the New York Stock Exchange’s trading system put on brakes to slow the market fall. That, however, turned out to have the opposite effect as trades went to other exchanges and liquidity dried up. It was the second largest point swing (1,010.14 points to be exact) and the biggest one-day point decline (998.5 points on an intraday basis) of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in history.
It was a disaster that could have easily been prevented if the right people had the right tools in their hands. All the investments in getting market data to traders with sub-millisecond latency market counted for nothing since they simply could not grasp what was happening to the market. Traders were essentially flying blind by trying to analyze a sea of numbers on their market data terminals.
In this webinar, you will see exactly what happened and how a Panopticon dashboard lets you understand the whole market within a few seconds. Peter and Dale will use NYSE and NASDAQ data — the same data that every bank and fund operator has access to — to show you how the elements that caused the Crash came together in just the right way to create havoc. They will use this tick data to demonstrate how you can visualize the complete market in real time, including a view of all the trades that have happened up to the current moment. You will see how you can play back all trading for any period of time and replay the important moments to fully analyze what was happening at any particular time.
You must take this opportunity to see for yourself how you can use the combination of Panopticon data visualization and Sybase Aleri CEP technologies in your firm to prevent catastrophic errors as well as improve profitability every day.
Interactive data visualizations combined with a fast, in-memory OLAP data model allow institutions to present CEP users with a visual tool for analyzing the data being generated by CEP systems. This is possible because of the Panopticon system's ability to connect to real-time streaming feeds, including CEP engines.
In addition to an analysis of the May 6th Flash Crash, attendees will learn:
- How to use visual analysis tools with CEP to get a comprehensive view of market activity.
- How to build visual data analytics dashboards that are well-suited to the analysis of CEP data.
- How to combine CEP data sources with static and historical financial data into a monitoring and analysis dashboard.
- How to filter CEP data in order to expose outliers and patterns.
