The result of this discussion was to merge Sargdub (talk) 02:53, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should Dark pools of liquidity be merged into Dark liquidity? Currently, this article (Dark liquidity) links to Dark pools of liquidity with the link dark pools, which currently redirects to Dark pools of liquidity. I'd just like to see this separation reviewed by an expert in the field. – Wdfarmer (talk) 09:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am also not an expert in dark liquidity pools, but after reading both articles I believe they should be merged. The Dark Liquidity article provides the real explanation and the Dark Pools article just give a list of providers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.20.212.130 (talk) 18:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regulation?

[edit]

I would like to see some commentary about how this market is regulated compared to open markets. Kevink707 (talk) 17:35, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Section merging required

[edit]

Seems like a few of the current sections would benefit from a bit of M&A action, but also I wondered if there are any active editors that would like to discuss how to add content about the controversies or arguments against this form of exchange. This piece in WSJ recently for example highlights some of the problems that seem to have cropped up in the course of running dark trading houses. I'll add the information and later it would easily be manipulated or rewritten or whatever. The Sound and the Fury (talk) 18:27, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed sections

[edit]

Some of this seems to have been written by a young professor who has drank too much coffee. No footnotes. Constant references to the second person. Let me just drop in here the sections that I'm removing and we can decide later what to do with them. The Sound and the Fury (talk) 18:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PAGE

Imputing the existence of dark liquidity

There are a few ways to guess at the existence of dark liquidity. If you are watching the market depth and see that both the bid and offer have decreased by the same amount, you might reasonably assume that the trade was in fact made, but at a venue not visible to you. However this is unreliable, since there is the chance that two orders were simply canceled at the same time.

If you are actively trading at a dark venue and choose to take liquidity at a given price then you obviously have a piece of information known only to one other participant (the counterparty in the trade!). Additionally if you were completely filled you may reasonably assume that some more liquidity exists at the same price.

Trade? Or order?

[edit]

Article currently says (near the top)

some market participants are disadvantaged as they cannot see the trades before they are executed

I am far from an expert on this so somebody please clarify: should this refer to orders instead? One party makes an offer to sell, another to buy, but neither of these are "trades" until they execute, right? So what would it mean to see a trade before it executes? If this should say "orders" please correct the article. If "trades" is the correct word, please explain (in the article) what it means to have a "trade" that has not yet executed. Thank you. 72.208.150.248 (talk) 18:12, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This has been fixed. Sargdub (talk) 11:32, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dark liquidity → Dark pool – The article is mostly about dark pools themselves and this is the more common name. The liquidity is covered in the article and is obviously a key part of dark pools. There has been some previous changes but I feel the most appropriate name for this article now is dark pool after its development. There had been a previous changes and even a merge from Dark pools of liquidity which is also a common name for this concept. I feel that given the development of the article and a lot more references to this from its use in high frequency trading, it now makes sense to change it to Dark pool again. This will require an administrator as dark pool, and dark pool liquidity have been used in the past and are now redirects.

I don't have a view on whether of not this should be changed but if it is the lead needs to be changed since the term dark pool is not mentioned.--64.229.167.158 (talk) 03:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
