Sigti is designed as a monitoring and surveillance system for Compliance and Risk officers.
Sigti’s tick data and public data can of course be of interest to anyone studying the financial markets but this workflow section focuses on the workflow of Compliance and Risk officers.
Alerts
Alerts are the main focus of Compliance and Risk officers. Sigti has over 30 different alerts covering various different scenarios. Sigti runs a batch job every night that goes over public and private data and generates Alert events where appropriate.
Alerts are shared between all members in the same user group/organization.
A list of all alerts can we found by clicking “Alerts“ in the main menu. Users can filter alerts by date and the status of the alert event
The goal of the user is that all alert events are eventually Closed. Sigti supports the below Alert event statuses:
Open - Initial state of the alerts
Watch - The event is being watched
Investigating - The event is being investegated
Critical - The event is flagged as critical
Explained - The event has been explained
Closed - The event has been fully processed
The status of an Alert event can be changed in the “Alert event details“ window. The “Alert event details“ window is opened by clicking “Review“ in the Alerts list
To investigate an Alert event the user can look at the tick data by clicking the symbol of the tradable. The Tick data data windows opens on the appropriate date and the Alert event will be highlighted int the Tick Data table.
All status changes and comments are saved in the Alert event History and can be viewed by clicking the “HISTORY“ tab in the Alert event details window.
Alert configuration
Alerts can be configured per organization/user group. If a change is made to the alert configuration that change applies to alerts for all users in that organization/user group.
Alerts can also be turned on or off.
Alert configuration only applies to the way the alert events are displayed, not how alerts events are generated. All alert events are generated each day but the configuration dictates what events are displayed to the user in the Sigti user interface. If we look “Large order“ as an example, events are generated for all orders larger than 70m ISK but the configuration for the organization dictates what events are shown to the users in that organization. If the “Large order value“ is set to 200m, only events for orders lager than 200m are displayed to the user.
