Title: Mt. Gox Dark Pools Post by: jimbobway on December 03, 2010, 09:22:36 PM Sorry if this is a repeat but is there an equivalent type of concept as a dark pool in other exchange sites like etrade? I don't know if I like dark pools...

The dark pool seems to be working very well. It is allowing people to place big orders closer to the market price. The result is greater depth, tighter spreads and less wild swings of the market.

Nice theory... how is that working out lately? :p Title: Re: Mt. Gox Dark Pools Post by: mtgox on December 06, 2010, 12:00:45 PM Well. the market would have dropped to about .05 without darkpools.

Nice answer... though I doubt those putting the dark orders would actually put them that low on the open, but hey. Title: Re: Mt.

There seems to be a dark pool ASK order at MtGox around 0.25, which means for those folks who want to buy for 0.25 $, it is possible. |
