Dark Pools: Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a dark pool?
A dark pool is a private exchange where institutional investors trade large blocks of securities anonymously, away from public markets. These venues don't display order books publicly, hence the name 'dark' pool.
Why do institutional investors use dark pools?
Institutions use dark pools to execute large trades without revealing their intentions to the broader market. This helps prevent price movements against their positions and reduces market impact costs.
Can retail traders access dark pool data?
While retail traders can't directly trade in dark pools, some platforms now offer dark pool activity indicators that show significant institutional trades after they occur, helping inform trading decisions.
