AI Trading Compliance Review: Start Here

Start here Beginner

Scopes an AI-assisted trading workflow before reviewing its regulatory perimeter, controls, evidence, and unresolved compliance questions.

Compliance

ID 438

Act as an independent compliance-review facilitator for an AI-assisted trading workflow. First ask for the jurisdictions, legal entity and user role, asset classes, venues, client type, level of automation, and whether the system only recommends, routes, or executes orders. Then produce a scoped review covering the regulatory perimeter, governance, human approvals, pre-trade controls, surveillance, recordkeeping, model and prompt changes, data and privacy, vendors, incidents, and unresolved questions. Use current, dated primary regulatory sources; separate binding rules from guidance and proposals; do not claim the workflow is compliant or provide legal advice; and refer material conclusions to qualified local counsel or the responsible compliance officer.

Regulatory Perimeter and Activity Map

Medium

Maps how advice, discretionary trading, order routing, execution, market data, and cross-border activity may change the regulatory analysis.

Regulations

ID 439

Create a regulatory-perimeter map for an AI-assisted trading workflow. Ask for the jurisdictions, entity and user roles, client types, assets, venues, custody arrangements, compensation model, and level of discretion. Test whether the activities could involve investment advice, portfolio management, broker or dealer functions, order routing, automated execution, exchange activity, market-data licensing, promotion, or cross-border services. Cite current primary sources with dates, distinguish enacted requirements from proposals and guidance, identify facts that change the analysis, and present the result as questions for qualified local counsel rather than a legal classification.

Human Oversight and Responsibility Matrix

Beginner

Assigns accountable owners, approvals, escalation paths, and evidence for every high-impact AI trading decision.

Compliance

ID 440

Build a responsibility and human-oversight matrix for an AI-assisted trading workflow. Cover strategy approval, data changes, model and prompt changes, risk limits, order release, exception handling, surveillance alerts, client communications, incidents, shutdown, and restart. For each activity, name the accountable role, required reviewer, approval evidence, segregation-of-duties concern, escalation deadline, and prohibited self-approval. Flag missing owners and decisions that must remain with an authorized human under the applicable policy or regulation.

Client, Counterparty, and Market-Access Gate

Medium

Determines which identity, sanctions, eligibility, and venue-access checks are relevant before an AI trading workflow is used.

Compliance

ID 441

Design a client, counterparty, and market-access gate for an AI-assisted trading workflow. First determine whether the business has customers or manages only its own capital. Where applicable, cover identity and beneficial ownership, sanctions and restricted parties, source-of-funds questions, investor eligibility, geographic restrictions, asset and venue permissions, account authority, and periodic review. Use current official sources for the stated jurisdictions, avoid inventing universal thresholds, identify privacy-sensitive data, and route uncertain or high-risk cases to the responsible compliance officer.

Pre-Trade Compliance Control Checklist

Medium

Turns policies and regulatory constraints into testable checks before an AI-assisted order can be released.

Compliance

ID 442

Create a pre-trade compliance-control checklist for an AI-assisted trading system. Include authorized instruments and venues, restricted lists, position and concentration limits, leverage and short-sale constraints, price and size reasonableness, duplicate or conflicting orders, trading windows, account permissions, stale data, model confidence or uncertainty, manual approval triggers, and fail-closed behavior. For every control, define the policy or rule source, owner, input, test logic, evidence retained, exception path, and validation case without inventing numerical limits that have not been supplied.

Market-Abuse and Execution Surveillance Design

Pro

Designs post-trade surveillance for manipulation patterns, anomalous execution, and AI-driven behavior that requires investigation.

Compliance

ID 443

Design risk-based post-trade surveillance for an AI-assisted trading workflow. Cover potential spoofing or layering patterns, wash or self-trading, marking the close, excessive cancellations, momentum ignition, coordinated behavior, unusual order timing, venue concentration, repeated slippage, partial-fill anomalies, and divergence between intended and executed behavior. For each alert, define the evidence, comparison baseline, false-positive risks, investigation owner, case record, escalation path, and conditions for pausing the system. Do not provide instructions for evading surveillance or manipulating markets.

AI Trading Disclosures and Communications Review

Medium

Checks whether user-facing claims, risk disclosures, performance language, and AI explanations are accurate, balanced, and supportable.

Compliance

ID 444

Review the disclosures and communications for an AI-assisted trading product or internal tool. Check descriptions of the AI's role, automation level, human oversight, limitations, conflicts, fees, data sources, performance and backtest claims, hypothetical results, risk of loss, outages, and third-party dependencies. Identify claims that need evidence, wording that could mislead a reasonable reader, jurisdiction-specific disclosure questions, and records that should be retained. Do not rewrite uncertainty as certainty or imply regulatory approval.

Decision Log and Audit-Trail Specification

Medium

Defines the records needed to reconstruct what the AI received, recommended, approved, and executed without storing unnecessary secrets.

Compliance

ID 445

Write an audit-trail specification for an AI-assisted trading workflow. Include timestamps and time zones, user and system identities, model and prompt versions, data-source versions, inputs and outputs, confidence or uncertainty, policy checks, human approvals, orders and fills, exceptions, overrides, alerts, configuration changes, and shutdown or restart decisions. Define integrity, access, retention, redaction, reconciliation, and retrieval requirements while excluding credentials, private keys, and unnecessary personal data. Map every record to an operational or compliance purpose and an accountable owner.

Data Provenance, Privacy, and Retention Review

Medium

Reviews the lawful use, lineage, quality, minimization, access, and retention of trading, client, and model data.

Compliance

ID 446

Create a data-governance review for an AI-assisted trading workflow. Inventory market, alternative, client, account, communications, model, and vendor data; record source, license, jurisdiction, purpose, lawful-use question, quality checks, lineage, access, sharing, retention, deletion, and incident exposure. Flag personal or sensitive data, cross-border transfers, prohibited uses, stale or contaminated datasets, and records that need legal or privacy review. Separate confirmed requirements from assumptions and cite current official sources where rules are discussed.

Third-Party AI and Trading Vendor Due Diligence

Medium

Creates a due-diligence and ongoing-monitoring framework for models, data vendors, brokers, exchanges, custody, and cloud providers.

Compliance

ID 447

Build a third-party due-diligence questionnaire for every critical provider in an AI-assisted trading workflow, including model and API providers, data vendors, brokers, exchanges, custodians, cloud services, and monitoring tools. Cover ownership, regulatory status, security, privacy, data rights, model changes, explainability, availability, subcontractors, geographic exposure, incident history, business continuity, audit rights, service levels, termination, data return, and concentration risk. Rank unanswered questions by operational and compliance impact and define evidence and review frequency without treating vendor claims as proof.

Model and Prompt Change-Control Register

Pro

Creates evidence-based approval gates for model, prompt, data, strategy, and infrastructure changes that can alter trading behavior.

Bot Infrastructure

ID 448

Design a change-control register for an AI-assisted trading system. Cover model or provider changes, prompt and tool changes, training or retrieval data, feature engineering, strategy logic, risk controls, execution code, infrastructure, and configuration. For each change, require rationale, owner, affected obligations and risks, version, test evidence, independent review, approval, deployment window, monitoring plan, rollback, and post-change sign-off. Define which changes are material and require compliance or legal review, but do not invent a universal materiality threshold.

AI Trading Incident and Kill-Switch Playbook

Pro

Prepares a controlled response to erroneous orders, model drift, data failures, security events, and regulatory or policy breaches.

Bot Infrastructure

ID 449

Create an incident-response and kill-switch playbook for an AI-assisted trading workflow. Include triggers for erroneous or unauthorized orders, model drift, data corruption or staleness, control failure, suspicious trading, credential exposure, vendor outage, privacy events, and suspected policy or regulatory breaches. Define detection, immediate containment, human authority, order and position handling, evidence preservation, notifications, investigation, external reporting questions, recovery tests, restart approval, and lessons learned. Keep the system stopped until explicit evidence-based restart criteria and authorized human approval are satisfied.

Cross-Jurisdiction Regulatory Change Monitor

Pro

Builds a dated monitoring process for rule changes that may affect AI, algorithmic trading, crypto, data, or market access.

Regulations

ID 450

Design a regulatory-change monitoring process for an AI-assisted trading workflow operating across the stated jurisdictions. Track official rulebooks, regulator notices, enforcement communications, consultations, implementation dates, transitional periods, and relevant court or legislative developments affecting AI, algorithmic trading, digital assets, data, outsourcing, market conduct, and client protection. For every change, record the primary source and date, legal status, affected activity, owner, required assessment, implementation dependency, and escalation. Clearly separate binding rules, adopted-but-not-effective changes, guidance, proposals, and commentary.

Independent Compliance Readiness Review

Pro

Produces an evidence-led challenge report with findings, owners, remediation priorities, and explicit limits on what has been verified.

Compliance

ID 451

Act as an independent reviewer and challenge the compliance readiness of an AI-assisted trading workflow. Do not accept policy statements without evidence. Test the regulatory scope, governance, approvals, controls, surveillance, records, disclosures, data, vendors, change management, incidents, training, and periodic review. Return confirmed strengths, evidence gaps, findings by severity, affected jurisdictions and activities, accountable owners, remediation actions, dependencies, target dates, residual risks, and questions for qualified counsel or the compliance officer. State the review scope, source dates, limitations, and that the report does not certify legal or regulatory compliance.

Find compliance gaps before an AI trading workflow goes live

An AI trading review is useful only when it is tied to a defined activity, jurisdiction, responsible entity, and level of automation. Use this pack to turn those facts into evidence requests, control tests, and questions for qualified compliance or legal review.

Start with the overview prompt and describe jurisdictions, user and entity roles, clients, assets, venues, data sources, vendors, and whether AI recommends, routes, or executes orders.
Work through regulatory scope, human approvals, trading controls, surveillance, recordkeeping, model changes, and incident handling; keep evidence and unresolved assumptions beside each finding.
Use current, dated primary sources, distinguish binding rules from guidance and proposals, and send material conclusions to qualified local counsel or the responsible compliance officer.
