A Massive Dark Pool Order!!!

A Technical Overview

Dark pools are alternative trading systems designed to facilitate large trades by institutional investors without impacting the public market. They allow participants to buy and sell securities anonymously, keeping the details of their trades hidden until after execution. This advantage has led to its increasing popularity, and for the first time off-exchange volumes have surpassed those on on-exchanges.

By tracking dark pool orders, we can gain valuable insights into institutional sentiment. For example, multiple large buys or sells in dark pools often signal bullish or bearish trends, respectively. Monitoring these trades helps traders anticipate potential market movements before they become apparent in public exchanges.
