  1. My style of trading requires dark pools. I am frustrated that my retail account has more routes than the two prop firms I have checked out. im located in NYC.. Can someone direct me to a firm who has access to many dark pools
    thank you!
     
  2. Which ones are you looking for and what do you think the advantages are to each one?
     
  3. Im looking for a firm that offer a lot..I dont have to go into specifics, if there is a firm that offers lets say 7,8 +pools, i guarantee its the ones i want and plus others i need
     
  4. You may want to look into Great Point Capital. A trading buddy of mine mentioned them as a good firm to trade with awhile back, although I don't have personal experience with them. However they are a FINRA firm and require a Series 55 and Series 62, instead of the standard Series 56.

    From their FAQ's...

    "Dark Books are becoming an increasingly important source of liquidity. We are continually looking for ways to access that liquidity. Currently, Lightspeed offers access to Credit Suisse’s Crossfinder and Goldmart’s SimgaX as gateways to dark pools. Takion accesses dark pools through established ECN routing strategies as well as Knight’s suite of algorithmic tools."
