Use when screening EU or EEA order and trade batches for wash trading, spoofing, layering and quote stuffing under Regulation 596/2014 Article 16, producing suspicious transaction and order report candidates. The UK applies its own assimilated regime.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## When to Use

Use this skill when building or reviewing market-abuse surveillance for **EU/EEA** trading, where **MAR Article 16(1)-(2)** obliges market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue, and persons professionally arranging or executing transactions (PPAETs), to maintain effective arrangements to prevent and detect market abuse and to notify the National Competent Authority (NCA) *without delay* once reasonable suspicion is formed.

It fits post-trade / near-real-time batch screening of an order and trade log for three of the indicators in **Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/522, Annex II** and **MAR Annex I**: transactions with no change in beneficial ownership, layering/spoofing, and quote stuffing.

## When NOT to Use

- **Not for the UK.** Since 1 January 2021 the UK applies its own assimilated MAR and assimilated Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/957, supervised by the FCA. The FCA is *not* an NCA under EU MAR; a UK STOR goes to the FCA under UK MAR, through FCA channels.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/eu-market-abuse-regulation-mar-surveillance@sha256:458c865c7d0cde7e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
