Dive Into the Dark Pool

Dark Pools are defined as private exchanges for trading securities that are not accessible to the investing public. Dark pools were created to facilitate block trading by institutional investors who did not wish to impact the markets with their large orders and obtain adverse prices for their trades. Our Dark Pool Scanner tracks these trades in real-time providing our members insight into these mysterious markets where major players are making impactful market transactions.

Chart The Dark Pool

Our Dark Pool Volume Profile study is designed to show at which price points large trade volume is occurring. This unique chart study can be used to plot secondary support and resistance levels for trade entries and exits.

Find The Value in Volatility

Our proprietary Volatility Indicator measures buy and sell pressure on any stock in real-time. Level 2 Data is measured based on the volume traded on both the bid and ask within a 10-second window. Members can use the sorting feature to scan the entire market for the most volatile stocks.
