Dark Pool Trading vs Lit Exchanges Explained — Using Market Chameleon for Volume Insights

Dark Pool vs. Lit Exchanges: Where is the Real Volume?
Ever wondered why some massive trades don't seem to move the stock price immediately, while others cause instant volatility? The answer lies in where those trades are executed.

In this webinar, we pull back the curtain on the "hidden" side of the stock market. We break down the fundamental differences between Dark Pools (private venues) and Lit Exchanges (public venues like the NYSE or NASDAQ) to help you understand how institutional money moves behind the scenes.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:
Market Transparency: Understanding why Dark Pools offer anonymity and how Lit Exchanges maintain public order books.

Order Flow Dynamics: How brokers decide where to route your orders and the mechanics of "matching engines."

Price Impact & Liquidity: Why large institutions prefer Dark Pools to minimize "slippage" and price movement when executing big blocks of stock.

The "Uninformed" Edge: Why retail order flow is the most highly sought-after volume for market makers and liquidity providers.

Volume Analysis: How to use Market Chameleon to track volume across small, retail, professional, and institutional buckets.
