High-frequency traders changing the game
Do we know the power of the dark side?
Ian Williams, Managing Director Trading and Sales for the ITG Canada group is photographed on the company's Toronto trading floor on Feb 01 2011. Alternative trading systems -- often called dark pools -- are places where traders can buy and sell orders without having to use a public venue like the TSX or Nasdaq. For traders, the big advantage of dark pools is that you can move a big block of stock without tipping your hand until the trade is completed. In the US and Europe, hedge funds, broker-dealers and other players have developed "dark algorithms" that sweep dozens of pools for buy-and-sell matches. Although dark pools are not well established in Canada -- they currently account for just 2 percent of trading activity -- the Canadian Securities Administrators and other regulators are watching them closely. One of the Canadian dark pools is operated by TriAct Canada Marketplace, a subsidiary of ITG. (Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail)
