MarketWatch

The NASDAQ MarketWatch Department provides real-time surveillance for activity on the NASDAQ Stock Market, NASDAQ OMX BX and the NASDAQ Options Market to maintain an orderly marketplace and level playing field for investors, market participants and listed companies. In an effort to foster marketplace integrity, MarketWatch oversees the complete and timely disclosure of material information by NASDAQ-listed companies. In addition, MarketWatch monitors compliance with Exchange rules and policies through real-time surveillance of price and volume information reported by market participants in both equities and options transactions. The MarketWatch Department works closely with NASDAQ business lines and FINRA in an effort to provide fair and equitable regulation for the NASDAQ markets. When activity is suspected of being potentially in violation of Exchange rules and policies, MarketWatch refers the activity to FINRA's Market Regulation Department for further review and potential disciplinary action. Information received by MarketWatch is confidential and used strictly for regulatory purposes. MarketWatch implements fair and independent decisions within the scope of its authority and without influence from other NASDAQ departments.
