Dark pools are private exchanged, created for large institutions to buy/sell large blocks of shares without impacting the market price, ie, designed specifically for hedge funds to cover their short positions without causing a short squeeze.
This is exactly what needs investigating by the SEC and exactly why new rules are being created to make dark pools more transparent and to show more data on transactions such as shorts, naked shorts and failure to delivers (FTDs).

    They need a rule that no more the 25 percent of any one stock can go through the dark pools

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NZ AMC GME Holder says:

    Oh yeah it will get regulated, if heggies manage to screw us over. They will get a smack on the hand and don't do it again, but we know you well cheeky. Heggies / regulators interchangeable titles you ask me.

    So wait lol they can not effect the price in the public market when they buy large amounts but then when they short a stock into shit it DOES effect the public price?! HOW IS THAT FREE AND FAIR?! Crazy to me this is even a discussion when itโ€™s so obviously corrupt

    Isn't most or all interpretations of AMC numbers and its chart a waste of time since the price is being manipulated by Dark Pool entries? Do we know if these Hedge Funds and the like can disperse Dark Pool numbers [AMC stocks sold] based upon how many retail investor purchases are made? Said differently, could these Hedge Funds and the like have an algorithm or a formula in the code that submits/dumps sells of AMC at a rate 2:1 or the like above retail purchases? Heck, we know Goldman Sachs — and other outlets — allow customers to use its automated direct market access system and automatically mark short orders as long.

    How can they cover with fake shares?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pringleton says:

    Think the darkpool naked shorts is a major issue, plus surely should be a minimum order , the average order there is 187? That's not what it was designed for, also with automation there is less need as a million shares can be traded in split seconds now wherebthey used to take much longer

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Troels Svaneolm says:

    I Think they short in the dark pool, covers in the dark pool and sell back in the regulars marked,.. day after day to push the price down๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars johnny lopez says:

    Dark pools should die along with shitadel and the sec need to be charged with corruption and failure to protect trading

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shay Mickay says:

    So you said they could be buying shares to cover there short positions on DP… but how is that possible if there are barely none to buy because we hold the majority? Is that where naked/synthetic shares come in (don't know which one) meaning they 'cover' with fakes making more shares exist when there shouldn't be? This has always confused me

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephanie Felix says:

    <How you get me hooked on this your podcast amazes me. Regardless, B TC price is prone to volatile swings , making it historically popular for traders to speculate on . According to bitcoin halving cycles , there should be at least other 4 months in this bull run , so , if the PL indicator ( and Bitcoin ) might repeat a similar bull run to 2013. That would mean a local top relatively close in time and then another top to end the bull run towards mid year . Investors and traders find it difficult to decide how best to utilise the current Market , hodling is profitable but trading is far more profitable . I was able to grasp the knowledge of trading crypto assets early enough , I didn't think it was possible to make constant win from trading till came across Garrick Normanโ€™s program for Investors / newbies who lack understanding on how trading B TC works , to help them stack up more Bitco ! v , since late last year till date I have made over 9BTC from 2.6BTC with Garrickโ€™s help .

    It means we Fucked. More Red weeks coming. only way Get AMC Paid will be market crash.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cyborg Soda Collectibles says:

    Dark pools are about the most illegal shit I've ever seen. They're selling the shares in fractional orders(48.630001) and making money that way. How can you be a market maker and have a financial stake in the shares you are handling and controlling? That's like being at a casino and being the dealer and a player. There's no difference. These l this needs to end.

    Dark Pool

    By JAMES CHEN Reviewed by JONATHAN BOYAR Updated May 21, 2020

    What Is a Dark Pool?

    A dark pool is a privately organized financial forum or exchange for trading securities. Dark pools allow institutional investors to trade without exposure until after the trade has been executed and reported. Dark pools are a type of alternative trading system (ATS) that give certain investors the opportunity to place large orders and make trades without publicly revealing their intentions during the search for a buyer or seller.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Dark pools are private asset exchanges designed to provide additional liquidity and anonymity for trading large blocks of securities away from the public eye.

    Dark pools provide pricing and cost advantages to buy-side institutions such as mutual funds, and pension funds, which claim that these benefits ultimately accrue to the retail investors who invest in these funds.

    However, dark poolsโ€™ lack of transparency makes them susceptible to conflicts of interest by their owners and predatory trading practices by HFT firms.

    Understanding the Dark Pool

    Dark pools emerged in the 1980s when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allowed brokers to transact large blocks of shares. Electronic trading and an SEC ruling in 2007 that was designed to increase competition and cut transaction costs have stimulated an increase in the number of dark pools. Dark pools can charge lower fees than exchanges because they are often housed within a large firm and not necessarily a bank.

    For example, Bloomberg LP owns the dark pool Bloomberg Tradebook, which is registered with the SEC. Dark pools were initially mostly used by institutional investors for block trades involving a large number of securities. However, dark pools are no longer used only for large orders. A study by Celent found that as a result of block orders moving to dark pools, the average order size dropped from 430 shares in 2009 to approximately 200 shares in 2013.

    The primary advantage of dark pool trading is that institutional investors making large trades can do so without exposure while finding buyers and sellers. This prevents heavy price devaluation, which would otherwise occur. If it were public knowledge, for example, that an investment bank was trying to sell 500,000 shares of a security, the security would almost certainly have decreased in value by the time the bank found buyers for all of their shares. Devaluation has become an increasingly likely risk, and electronic trading platforms are causing prices to respond much more quickly to market pressures. If the new data is reported only after the trade has been executed, however, the news has much less of an impact on the market.

    Dark Pools and High-Frequency Trading

    With the advent of supercomputers capable of executing algorithmic-based programs over the course of just milliseconds, high-frequency trading (HFT) has come to dominate daily trading volume. HFT technology allows institutional traders to execute their orders of multimillion-share blocks ahead of other investors, capitalizing on fractional upticks or downticks in share prices. When subsequent orders are executed, profits are instantly obtained by HFT traders who then close out their positions. This form of legal piracy can occur dozens of times a day, reaping huge gains for HFT traders.

    Eventually, HFT became so pervasive that it grew increasingly difficult to execute large trades through a single exchange. Because large HFT orders had to be spread among multiple exchanges, it alerted trading competitors who could then get in front of the order and snatch up the inventory, driving up share prices. All of this occurred within milliseconds of the initial order being placed.

    To avoid the transparency of public exchanges and ensure liquidity for large block trades, several of the investment banks established private exchanges, which came to be known as dark pools. For traders with large orders who are unable to place them on the public exchanges, or want to avoid telegraphing their intent, dark pools provide a market of buyers and sellers with the liquidity to execute the trade. In 2016, there were more than 50 dark pools operating in the United States, run mostly by investment banks.

    Critiques of Dark Pools

    Although considered legal, dark pools are able to operate with little transparency. Those who have denounced HFT as an unfair advantage over other investors have also condemned the lack of transparency in dark pools, which can hide conflicts of interest. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has stepped up its scrutiny of dark pools over complaints of illegal front-running that occurs when institutional traders place their order in front of a customerโ€™s order to capitalize on the uptick in share prices. Advocates of dark pools insist they provide essential liquidity, allowing the markets to operate more efficiently.

    Examples of Dark Pools

    There are several different types of dark pools: broker or dealer-owned exchanges, such as Morgan Stanley's MS Pool and Goldman Sachs' Sigma X; independently owned exchanges offering private trading to their clients; and private exchange markets operated by public exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange's Euronext. A privately-owned market will have price discovery within their own markets, but a dark pool operated by a broker derives its prices from public exchanges.

    Because of their sinister name and lack of transparency, dark pools are often considered by the public to be dubious enterprises. In reality, dark pools are tightly regulated by the SEC. However, there is a real concern that because of the sheer volume of trades conducted on dark markets, the public values of certain securities are increasingly unreliable or inaccurate. There is also mounting concern that dark pool exchanges provide excellent fodder for predatory high-frequency trading (HFT).
