Klappentext zu „Dark Pools and Flash Trading: New trends in Equity Trading? “
This book examines the characteristics of equity trading and especially two relatively new phenomena which are dark pools and flash trading. Over the last years these two terms became more and more important in equity trading and today they are a real alternative to traditional exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange or Deutsche Börse. But these new evolutions do not only have advantages. Indeed there are concerns that beside the benefits, like fast execution times, sophisticated techniques and less market impact, these mechanisms can also burrow risks. These risks are difficult to estimate, with an evolution of these new platforms that was so quick, that one might have the impression that even regulators do not full yet understand what might happen in the case of a next financial crisis.However with a market share of 15%-20% of all trading activity in global equities and a jump of almost fivefold in the period of time from January to October 2009, these new mechanisms cannot be ignored anymore. Therefore this book explains in detail the functionality of dark pools and other current trading strategies. All important factors like different market structures, market liquidity aspects, as well as regulatory framework and technology facets will be reviewed. Further an outlook should be given to the reader on how the evolution of dark pools & co. might continue in the coming years.
With dark pools and flash trading, trading is now dominated by rapid-fire computer systems that might create a more technically driven market, rather than one based on fundamental forces. It remains to see whether this evolution will continue.

Textprobe:Chapter 6 The structure of dark pools:
As mentioned earlier, a dark pool is a venue or mechanism containing anonymous, non-displayed trading liquidity that is available for execution. Having said this in the following the key mechanisms or rather the potential sources of dark liquidity will be explained. The main sources of dark liquidity are iceberg and hidden orders, alternative trading systems/multilateral trading facilities (including electronic limit order books and crossing networks) and broker desks.
The main point to keep in mind is that dark pools are not all equal, but differ in terms of business models and technologies. Clients can chose between those that offer full services versus those with discounted services, between those with full order management and those with execution only services, and so forth. Each platform provides clients with different levels of services in order to best match their requirements. But no matter what kind of business model a dark pool has, the main aspect is access to liquidity with a minimum of information leakage and price impact as well as capability for price improvement (Banks, 2010: 59).
Chapter 6.1 Exchange orders and brokers as sources of dark liquidity:
Exchange orders and specialist books are main potential sources of dark liquidity within the exchange structure.
In order to compete with the growing number of dark pools and other electronic players, most of the world s largest exchanges participate in the dark sector through iceberg and hidden orders. Although the concept of iceberg and hidden orders is not new, the importance of these order types has certainly grown in the last years. According to Euronext Paris, more than 40 % of all trading occurs via hidden orders (Euronext, 2012).
But exchanges do not only compete with dark platforms though iceberg and hidden orders. In fact they put effort into enhancing their specialist book capabilities in order to be competitive with the new

platforms.
Specialists exist only in certain order-driven markets, such as NYSE Euronext or Deutsche Börse, and run each a book that contains orders of a particular sock, like for instance the Deutsche Bank book, the Daimler book, and so forth. They are obliged to quote two-way markets in specific stock and maintain an orderly market in those stocks under defined rules. The standard functions of specialists include showing best bids and offers (thus becoming market makers), acting as agents by placing electronically routed orders on behalf of clients, managing order books containing client limit orders and serving as principals by taking one side of a client trade against own inventory.
By managing the order flow passing through limit order books, specialists determinate which orders remain dark and which are made visible. Actually specialist books are an important source of dark liquidity.
Another source are floor brokers, which operate in a similar manner to that of specialists. They hold discretionary orders (which are always dark) and have a significant flexibility in when and how they expose and execute their orders (Banks, 2010: 62).
Chapter 6.2 Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) as sources of dark liquidity:
The wide category of multilateral trading facilities (or alternative trading systems) includes electronic limit order books (ELOBs)/electronic communication networks (ECNs) and crossing networks, which are all important players in the dark pool space. But before getting deeper into this topic, some definitions should be given to the reader.
Since the introduction of MiFID in November 2007 the erstwhile ATS have been renamed as multilateral trading facilities (MTF). They are governed under the provisions of MiFID, just like traditional exchanges (wikinvest.com, 2012). These facilities are, just like regulated markets, multilateral. Multilateral means that multiple parties can input their selling and buying intentions into the system and a transaction is est
