Case Study: Cleartrade Exchange (CLTX) achieves real-time market surveillance and actionable trade monitoring with Altair Knowledge Works

Cleartrade Exchange Retools for the Future with Datawatch

Cleartrade Exchange (CLTX) is a regulated futures market offering an electronic order book across 40+ commodity derivative contracts in Energy, Freight, Metal and Agriculture. As the exchange rapidly expanded, CLTX struggled with Excel-based surveillance that could only refresh daily and could not scale to monitor six asset classes and roughly 200 contract periods in real time.

CLTX implemented Datawatch’s visual discovery solution to ingest live feeds (e.g., Thomson Reuters) and combine streaming and historical data into intuitive visuals like heat matrices. The new system provides real-time monitoring and alerts, helps staff pinpoint outliers, supports deep historical analysis, and makes findings easy to share with colleagues and management.
