Dark pool trading

Dark pool trading refers to private financial markets where large investors, like institutions, buy or sell significant amounts of stocks without revealing their intentions to the public. This privacy helps prevent market disruptions caused by big trades and reduces the impact of large orders on stock prices. Unlike public exchanges, dark pools do not display real-time order books, making transactions less transparent. While they offer benefits like reduced market impact and enhanced privacy, they also raise concerns about transparency and fairness in the financial system.
