Darkpool exchanges

[swings.io]

Hi all, my data feed provider has the following exchanges:

BATS BYX Exchange
BATS BZX Exchange
BATS EDGA Exchange
BATS EDGX Exchange
CBOE Stock Exchange
Chicago Stock Exchange
Consolidated Tape System
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
International Securities Exchange
NASDAQ OMX BX Stock Exchange
NASDAQ OMX PSX Stock Exchange
NASDAQ OMX Stock Exchange
National Stock Exchange
NYSE MKT Exchange
NYSE Arca
New York Stock Exchange
The Investor's Exchange

When I stream the data I do not see transactions that are from dark pools. I am using WeBull time and sales as a comparator and generally I am only seeing the same transactions that come through there.

my question is:

1) Are none of the above dark pool exchanges?

2) I had read that such orders had to be passed declared to FINRA?

3) would having OTC exchange enable me to see dark pools?

4) are there any providers other than polygon that offer darkpool exchanges?

5) does anyone have a list of dark pool exchanges?

1#. FINRA on your terminal might be reporting ATS - Alternative Trading Systems, which include Dark pools. #2. That might be correct, we report them as ADFN on Lightspeed Trader. #3. No. #4. I'm not sure how to respond. Are you looking to see time and sales or send orders to Dark venues? We do both. #5. I only have a list of what we send orders to, there are too many to list. We can send orders to Instinet, Virtu (ITG and NITE), Credit Suisse, PDQ and a SMART Dark route that hits a few. https://www.lightspeed.com/pricing/routing-fees/. On other software we can send ALGO orders to VIRTU, Barclay and Fox River.

thanks for the reply.

I am looking to stream dark pool transactions in real time as they are reported.

if all institutions must report this to FINRA and I have access to the FINRA ATS feed. This in essence means I should be seeing these dark pool transactions as they are reported to FINRA? Am I correct?

That sounds correct. May I ask what value you get out of it, as these trades can come from many sources and might be delayed. They can even be paired with options blocks.

Ask me about the value once I get the feed running at the moment I’m just experimenting with a the tools at my disposal. Thanks for your responses, really helpful.
