Maybe, but dark pools are not all at the same place. Each broker has its own. And by definition, these orders are not 'exposed' to the public.

The proof is in the video!!!! I must have missed it. Or we have a different definition of the word 'proof'.

I agree, but with many trades that are not in half penny are also coming from the dark pool. BTW, I'm not an expert in the stock market (Futures and Options are my thing).

What makes you think that a 20% compounded return system is good? A lot of info are missing in your post: - Ratios (sharp, calmar, etc.) - Number of trade/year - Max draw down - Product traded - Commissions and slippage used during your backtest - Type(s) of strategy - Etc. Only a few things...

If I understand, you want to see the volume traded that comes from the dark pools. I would say that all volume that is coming from crosses are coming from the dark pools. Not sure if this is identified on data feeds. I'm guessing that your are referring to stocks.

1000$ in one day is nice, but it's not that important. You might win 1000$ one day and lose 5000$ the next one. Your P&L over a year is something more important. Moreover, if for the first time you do 1000$ in a day, you might want to plan for a loss soon. If you do an average of 1000$/day, then...

What do you want to do with that info if it exists? It ain't named 'dark' for nothing...

It's written black on white that they receive PFOF. They didn't invent anything new. They just want to attract the volume by offering free comm for Public Customer orders. Public Customer order flow is the bread and butter in this industry. That's the real deal! They'll make money as long as...

For US options, it's a bit useless since all US option exchanges have to fill at NBBO (for Public Customer orders). Generally speaking, brokers route their orders based on the cost of trading (for them, not for their clients).

If you trade SPX, don't they only trade at CBOE??? Making smart routing useless!!

You'll be able to fly to the moon with these specs. Dual Xeon, 128GB RAM...give me the money baby!!! If it makes you happy, go for it (with a SSD for sure, PCIE type if possible). But money wise, IMO, it's a waste of money, way overspecs. But it's always fun to have new rig, especially high...

That pic was taken before they opened their trading floor. And their intention was not to launch a 'Pit' as we know it. But to allow certain types of trade that regulator wise, are hard to be done electonically.

50% drawdown in the S&P??????? I should have missed something here....;)

A backtest result that is giving me a 2.5:1 YearlyReturn:MaxDrawdown ratio is a big NO-GO for me. Too risky. I am aiming at a ratio around 10:1 or higher. A 50% drawdown in backtest will probably result in a 75% drawdown in real trading. Who can possibly recover from that type of loss??? I...

Where do you see that IB is charging $1.74 per contract? I see (and pay!!) $0.85.

Are you making money with customer service? What's the need to call customer service these days? It's all about making money in this industry. Money talks. Period. If you have to call customer service all the time, you are not in the right place. I don't mean to be rude, but that's the way...

An individual statistic like that without a broader perspective is a bit meaningless IMO. I prefer looking at the Annual Return vs max drawdown ratio. If your max drawdown is 5% and your annual return is 200%, I'd tell you not to worry at all.

These people are good to tell you what happened after the fact. Pretty much useless for making money trading. All medias are full of them. They always have an answer to everything that happened in the past.

This is called the 'Martingale Strategy'. Nothing new here. And that's why casinos have limits on tables. It has a 100% chance of failing. It a well documented strategy.

So, you consider 200% as a good ration???? You must be a broker if this is the case...
