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.
