Important point to note:

We receive both sides (buy and sell) of each settled trade meaning:

  • ‘Total’ numbers need to be halved or use just ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ to get a true indication of settled flow.
  • In most scenarios ‘net’ flow will be 0
  • Filter by a counterparty type to see the net direction of trades.

  • Data is published to Smart Markets the day after settlement.
  • Dates in Mosaic are in reference to the trade date. Settlement dates are available as a dimension to filter or group data by.
  • We’ve partnered with Euroclear following rigorous analysis as they have the most complete dataset. As data is based on actual settled trades there’s no room for fat fingers and cancellations.
