Stellar RADAR

Risk Analytics, Derivatives and Reporting

A surveillance engine purpose-built for event-driven and prediction markets. RADAR scores every trade as it happens and flags behavior that does not match an honest participant, so exchanges, market operators, and compliance teams can act on potential insider trading and manipulation while it still matters.

The Problem

Prediction Markets Break Traditional Surveillance

Equity market surveillance listens for signals that only appear in dense, historical trade data. Event-driven markets do not work that way.

Built for traditional markets

  • Long trading histories to compare against
  • A stable set of instruments that trade for years
  • Baselines built from months of prior activity
  • Alerts reviewed after the fact, often long after settlement

What event-driven markets actually look like

  • Thousands of newly created, short-lived contracts
  • Little or no trading history on most instruments
  • Outcomes that resolve in days or hours
  • Information advantages that are tied to real-world events
How RADAR Works

Detection by Behavioral Reflection, Not Confession

RADAR never needs an insider to admit anything. It scores every trade and lets deviation from ordinary behavior stand out on its own.

Continuous Sweep

Every Trade, As It Happens

RADAR sweeps the market continuously rather than sampling it. Each trade is scored the moment it occurs, so potential misconduct surfaces before the contract settles.

Multi-Signal Scoring

Context From Many Angles

Each score draws on account context, trade context, market activity, and post-trade conduct. No single signal decides the outcome, which keeps false positives low for ordinary participants.

Explainable Output

One Transparent Probability

Every trade receives a single probability score, and every flag shows the factors that drove it. Analysts see why a trade was flagged, not just that it was.

Calibrated on Your Data

Tuned to Each Market

The model is calibrated on the operator's own historical trade data and recalibrated as the market grows, so thresholds reflect how that market actually behaves.

Proven Heritage

Two Decades of Probabilistic Risk Modeling

RADAR extends a probabilistic surveillance architecture that members of the Stellar leadership team first built for insider trading and fraud detection in U.S. equity markets more than 25 years ago. The same core approach has since been applied across other regulated domains with strong classification performance.

The team pairs that modeling depth with frontline experience as federal investigators, financial regulators, and investment bankers. RADAR is designed by people who have built surveillance systems and worked the cases those systems produce.

Design Principles

Transparent, Auditable, Defensible

A single, interpretable model rather than a black box

Every score traceable to its contributing factors

Built to support referrals and enforcement review

Starts with the data available today and expands as data access grows

Who It Serves

Built for the People Responsible for Market Integrity

Exchanges and Operators

Real-time surveillance across every listed contract, including newly created markets with no trading history.

Regulators

An explainable, consistent method for identifying trades that warrant inquiry across event-driven markets.

Compliance Teams

Prioritized alert queues with the rationale attached, so analysts spend time on the trades that matter.

Investigators

Scored, documented trade histories that support case development and referrals.

Getting Started

From First Conversation to Live Pilot

01

Scope the Data

Operator + Stellar

Identify what trade and account data is available today and what a data-sharing arrangement would add.

02

Calibrate the Model

Stellar

Fit and validate RADAR on the operator's historical trade data so scores reflect that market's real behavior.

03

Run a Bounded Pilot

Operator + Stellar

Score a fixed set of contracts over a fixed window and validate flagged trades against known outcomes.

04

Go Live

Operator

Deploy continuous scoring with analyst queues, reporting, and periodic recalibration as the market grows.
