One of the MICEX's priorities in the securities market is the provision of effectiveness and fairness of the market by creating proper conditions for fair competition among its participants and the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of investors.

To reach these goals, the MICEX monitors participants' operations for the purpose of revealing acts showing the signs of price manipulation, the use of inside information, the violation of the provisions of the MICEX internal documents, the normative acts of the Federal agency, supervising the securities market, and other normative acts of the Russian Federation. The MICEX's purpose is also to reveal and check orders and transactions whose parameters and terms of execution characterize them as non-standard. Monitoring includes control over the current prices of securities and the values of Technical indexes with the purpose of revealing conditions under which trading in one or several securities is to be suspended.

The automated monitoring complex provides technological support to the monitoring process. The work of the automated monitoring complex is based on the software provided by leading manufacturers of monitoring systems, as well as on the unique developments of the Computing Center of the RF Academy of Sciences.
