I'm curious, could you please elaborate on where exactly one can access information on dark pool trades without having to pay for it? Are there any reputable, free resources available online that offer a glimpse into these private, off-exchange transactions? It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide some guidance on this matter.
The securities market has evolved significantly in recent years, with the advent of new technologies enabling trades to be executed with unprecedented speed and efficiency. Today, trades are made available to investors and professionals in real-time through securities information processors (SIPs).

However, a notable aspect of these trades is that they are not attributed to a specific Alternative Trading System (ATS) or "dark pool." This lack of transparency has been a source of concern for regulators and market participants alike.

In an effort to address this issue, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has launched a new transparency initiative. The aim of this initiative is to provide the public with greater visibility into the operations of the securities market.

As part of this initiative, the public will now be able to see the total number of trades executed on each ATS and dark pool. This information will be made available in a standardized format, allowing for easy comparison and analysis.

The introduction of this level of transparency is a significant step forward for the securities market. It will help to promote fairness and competition, and will enable investors to make more informed decisions about where to execute their trades.
