The topic sounded strange to me as well. But I love the bold step that you took to learn and now, the topic will no longer be strange, not so?

I felt the same way when I saw the topic. But thankfully, I explored.

You have described dark pool the right way as where large investors trade. It is secretive and what goes on is not made public.

It provides a certain level of security for those large investors compared to where they mix up with smaller investors like us. On the other hand, it protects small investors because if they should dump their order in the public market, then there will be panic orders and a lot of people will lose their investments, hence, it is a way to control volatility
