How we collect data

Our team gathers data through direct communications such as phone calls, emails, and messaging apps. We also accept information from trading platforms or back-office reports, provided they meet our standards.

What data should be submitted?

We encourage participants to provide:
  • Transaction details, including volumes, prices, and product specifications.
  • Firm bids and offers, not indicative or speculative figures.
  • Any additional contextual information, such as delivery terms, freight costs, or trading conditions.

Guidelines for data submission

    To maintain the quality and reliability of our assessments:
  • Submit all relevant transaction data honestly and consistently.
  • Avoid selective reporting aimed at influencing price assessments.
  • Disclose if a transaction involves related parties or significantly differs in volume from typical market transactions.
  • Be prepared to provide supporting details if requested.
