It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
The dark pools clog liquidity and are a limit to liquidity . If you look at the listed debt markets algo trading has ruined that market. You often can be hit with very small sequential trades, In fact I recall one day where I was selling 9,000 units and the tradesheet showed a significant number of trades were 1 or 2 units a time. Someone was testing or trying to force the price. It does not encourage trading and in any number of situatiuons that I have seen often it frontruns an order and I can preovide examples where some of my trades have been frontrun. But then again the algo traders have lots of money and influence so they can do whatever they like.
