Dark pools are sometimes cast in an unfavorable light but they serve a purpose by allowing large trades to proceed without affecting the wider market. However, their lack of transparency makes them vulnerable to potential conflicts of interest by their owners and predatory trading practices by some high-frequency traders.1

This appears to say that dark pools are vulnerable to potential conflicts of interest by their owners.

How to get a piece of THAT action? lol

What would be the dollar value of free access to all pending, real time, and historic dark pool trading data and a few dozen proven badass informatics practitioners?
I'd bid a buck three eighty.

When I see big buys/sells the only way I read it is: some dude is putting up big money, I should pay attention. What do they know...

They know what will happen the next day when it is unloaded.. after heavy pre market volume they created that attracts enough interest to trap a lot of traders... because this was what happened with NIO and AMZN the next day. Coincidence? I don't think so :)

Are you really this full of yourself? Or you just can't help allowing someone to have an opinion based on their experience without going OTT trying to prove them and others who were there saying the same thing wrong! What is your problem dude? Get a grip.

The only thing you need to do in order to become a good trader is to simply use these big trades as data points.

For example, every buyer needs a seller. So how do you know that the seller isn't the one with more knowledge? Because they hit the bid? But really smart people would be confident and know they can just wait on the ask.

So rather than make assumptions about intentions of these guys, just use them as a data point as follows:

Hmm, this is a level I am interested in, a big guy is coming in. Let's see how price behaves.

Hmm, this is a surprise, a big guy is coming in and doing some shit. I should probably tighten my stops in case he knows something.

A couple of weeks ago, I believe after FOMC, I saw some guy selling a lot of nasdaq contracts and I ran in front of his levels as an exit for my long. The next day, market dumped.

Was he manipulating the market? Maybe, maybe not. It didn't matter.

Seems to me, since I went out of my way to show you the tape with the buyer on NIO back on Tuesday, you might put your brain to work, instead of your ego, and "back test" your hypothesis, like looking for "news" that would explain buying to this degree, instead of using the shares to drive the price the next day, (my hypothesis). Having found nothing significant, you might consider you could be wrong... but instead you just post your unresearched ideas and add insults.

OK you're right, it's manipulation. Everything that occurs in the market that is abnormal is manipulation.
