TRADING - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

(Bookmark this thread - it’s your go-to dark pool guide.)

---

1️⃣ What’s a dark pool?

Dark pools are private exchanges where large institutions trade stocks away from the public eye.

They exist so big players (like funds or hedge funds) can move size without instantly moving the stock price.

---

2️⃣ Why is it called “dark”?

Because the details of those trades aren’t visible to the public while they’re happening.

---

3️⃣ Why should traders care?

Because these hidden trades can reveal where big money is positioning before a move becomes obvious on the chart.

Dark pool prints often act as support or resistance levels once price revisits them.

---

4️⃣ What does a “dark pool print” mean?

It’s a report showing that a block of shares (often millions of dollars worth) was executed off-exchange.

Example: 417,000 shares at $435.54 for $181M.

---

5️⃣ Are all dark pool prints bullish or bearish?

No, a print itself doesn’t tell you direction.

It just means shares traded hands.

What matters is where price trades after the print:

If price holds above a large print → often bullish.

If price fails below → often bearish.

---

6️⃣ How can we use them?

I track them to identify high-interest zones: areas where institutions may defend or exit positions.

When multiple large prints cluster around one price, that zone becomes important for future reactions.

---

7️⃣ What’s the difference between a “block trade” and a dark pool print?

All dark pool prints are block trades, but not all block trades happen in dark pools.

Some are executed on public exchanges.

The dark pool tag means it was executed off-exchange.

---

8️⃣ Do they move the market right away?

Often, yes - the majority reveal their intent within the first 30 minutes of the next regular hours session.

If price holds above a large print early, it often signals accumulation (buying); if it breaks below, distribution (selling).

---

9️⃣ What’s considered a large dark pool trade?

For TSLA, anything over $100 million is notable.

Trades under that level can still be significant and worth tracking, especially when several cluster around the same price.

---

🔟 How does this fit into my charts?

Subscribers should make a mental note of key dark pool prices and compare them to my chart levels.

Remember, the charts always come first. Dark pool data is a supplemental tool that helps confirm or add context to what we’re already seeing technically, including:

• Fibonacci levels

• Support / Resistance

• Trend lines

• Other technical indicators

💎 Final tip:

Dark pool prints aren’t predictions, they’re breadcrumbs from big money.

They don’t guarantee direction, but they help you trade alongside the smart money instead of against it.
