In 2005 #Darkpools took up 3-5% of Trading, In 2014 there was 12% of the volume being traded off the lit exchange. Now we are in 2022, certain securities #AMC have👀over 60% of the trading volume go Dark by PFOF brokers sending retail orders through the #OTC to ATS/Darkpools... The Operations of #Darkpools are very problematic & hinder price discovery. In other words they provide better pricing for big institutional investors who use them to create worse pricing for the rest of us. Although the damage a simple "glitch" can have.

Dark pools have grown because of HFT
Originally, dark pools were designed for big institutions. Dark pools quickly grew, however, in part due to the growth of high-frequency trading (HFT) in the traditional displayed stock markets. #DarkpoolAbuse @ApeAverage @TheRealDarkPool #AMC I put a thread together on An Overview on HFT, & the Systematic Risk it Creates. I will be adding #darkpoolabuse as well, how it correlates, how this is all used against the Average Every day Trader/Retail. The System Needs Change... "Sic Semper Tyrannis"
