Dark Pools

This will show you where the trading is at.

Tape A = NYSE
Tape B = "Regionals" - pretty much NYSE Mkt, NYSE Arca
Tape C= Nasdaq

All dark pool trades need to report into the TRF - but not all such TRF trades come from a dark pool.

Got it...I understand why dark pools exist but what is the purpose of regional exchanges such as NYSE ARCA?

Yeah, I read that article, too. The most interesting thing is how these steps are considered dark pools and why. I'd like to have more detailed information about that. Thank you in advance.
