    While I would agree there are legitimate benefits to dark pools for certain traders or types of trades, I'd argue those benefits are only specifically for them, and are at the expense of everyone else. Dark Pools go against the fundamentals of what a public market is meant to be. For example, yes a dark pool would prevent a large pending trade from affecting the market, but I'd argue that it's suppose to affect the market. Any action on the market will affect the market, and that's how it's meant to work. Adjusting to and accounting for market shifts due to things done on the market is itself part of what defines it as being open and public...
    If we want to allow trades to be private until filled, then they should all be private until filled by default without the need for dark pools. Letting only some people do that undermines the entire system so much that we might as well not even have a public exchange to begin with.

      @GregScholfield หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Agreed. The workaround to that is to limit how the order is posted or how the trade is worked. A broker is free to post a trade in as many blocks as they would like, creating the illusion that an order is smaller (or potentially bigger) than it really is. Smear those trades across time and you can accomplish the same thing dark liquidity does, arguably faster. I’ve used both trade working algorithms and dark markets and I would prefer to use a lit market algo to get an order filled quickly and with a high degree of pride efficiency. And yes, you could theoretically ban algo trading (lol, try) but then the trader just works the trade manually, accomplishing the same thing at a higher cost.
      Retails investors can do all of this too, except that it quickly becomes prohibitively expensive.
      I would argue that a lot of dark market trading is just mental stroking on the part of the trader. Issuers of sufficient market cap to ever fill a large order dark are so liquid an algo would’ve filled it faster and cheaper anyway. Smaller issuers where a big order might be disruptive are going to get filled through a cross.

      Every single market in the world will have exactly the same price. If the price of the security is $100 on the exchange, it will be maybe $100.01 in the dark pool.
      This is because of arbitrage. A buyer in the dark pool will not accept a higher price than the exchange. A seller on the dark pool will not accept a lower price than the exchange.
      So you end up with almost the same price everywhere minus the volatility

Not necessarily to invest money right now, just to analyze the business and things that go into its financial position (and hey maybe I can become a strong investor from learning from that perspective). Would love a video going over key things to consider when looking over the financials of a business or even what constitutes whether it’s a good investment or not. I know you don’t go into details on good stocks or anything, just personally I’m stuck with what to research when doing that analysis (equations, statements, etc. or maybe all of those things combined in some way).

    What happens in the case of a limit or minimum order in a dark pool where the limit/minimum is not reached for part of or the whole order? Does only part of the order go through, or does the whole just not get filled?
    I can see how an order for a large trade might be better filled through a dark pool in the case of a limit. If filled on the public market, the security might be artificially priced up or down or be prevented from going up or down with the expectation of a preorder. Only to have the trade never happen or only be partially filled because the limit or minimum was not reached for the entire order.

    I encounter order flow bs as soon as I start entering my retail trade, before it's even executed! Often it runs up in price before I can even click buy. When this happens, I cancel the order, wait a few minutes and often get to buy it at the pre-runup price. I can see how orderflow frontrunning can be profitable because most people don't have the patience for this.

  • @FortuneCookieLies
    @FortuneCookieLies 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The problem with dark pools is that they are only in 1 state and we don't know which one and thus cannot hold them accountable even though I pay in another state. The structure of them legally is like the lottery where each state has them. So any dark pool accountability is likely based on the state you make the transaction. Swaps were the big thing that caused the government to bail out the US. The reason that congress said that they cannot regulate dark pools is likely because of how it is legally structured and knowing what state that dark pools exist in and where their SEC is will give the clearcut regulation as to where the swaps occur. Swaps and these dark pools are the biggest financial risk in America.

      ​​@@Nighthawk20000 you do realize that dark pool prices change by 10% each trade at times right? Do you think a regular trader would be happy when a stock they buy goes down 10% in a day? There is a reason why there are things called "market makers". Those are the ppl that provide volatility for the average joe on the regular stock exchange

    Dark pool information is very important to long term investors. Look up the average hold time for US equities by institutional investors. It's only 2 to 6 fiscal quarters. No one is building up 10 year positions. This isn't the baby boomer hayday years.

    I can understand if an individual or institution buys a ton of shares thru the dark web. But if a normal person like me purchases a share at the same time 100k other people purchase it, if the exchange routes our purchases through the dark pool without our consent then that supresses the buying pressure. That is price manipulation and indefensible. 💯
