Euronext Surveillance

Maximising your insight into real-time trading behaviour

As a regulated Exchange, you know the importance of surveillance in running an orderly market. Available as an optional module, Euronext Surveillance is pre-configured with alerts we have developed for some of Europe’s biggest markets.
