How It Works

Approximately 40% of US equity volume executes in dark pools. Fin45 monitors dark pool prints for volume anomalies, large block trades, and institutional accumulation/distribution patterns that diverge from lit exchange activity.

Data Sources

Frequently Asked Questions

What dark pool data does Fin45 access?

FINRA Alternative Display Facility (ADF) data, which reports all off-exchange trades with a short delay. This includes block prints, price levels, and volume.

How does dark pool activity signal direction?

When dark pool volume significantly exceeds lit exchange volume (especially on the bid side), it often indicates institutional accumulation ahead of positive catalysts.

Is dark pool data delayed?

Dark pool prints are reported with a short delay (typically seconds to minutes). Fin45 processes them in near real-time for scoring.
