Editagain, thislink should work---Edit:that URL is no longer working, will try to find out why: liquidnet.com **************** All i can say it is very convoluted. One can't tell by simply looking at simple option puts and calls. i suspect much of it is hidden in the futures market. i know the fellow that ran/runs the threshold trading website for years insisted one can't get a clue of what is going on unless you have top level accessto thee-mini futures, saying that is where the real pros deal. But also these big houses all have their own hedge funds and theresultant lack of transparency. And we have now the ever growing network of for big boys only trading, where no way the public can see what is going on. i know very little about these networks except that CrossCurrents has stated they are they are real and growing. Alan Newman of CrossCurrents calls it DARK LIQUIDITY This is an excerpt from an old post by me made 4/27/2007 <<So now the powers take a death grip control of now totally UNFREE market place with a new tool The New Liquidity that is being called The Dark Liquidity by those that know it's ambition to close all routesto transpency. One is called LIQUIDNET and here is there URL LIQUIDNET.com/cont/howLIQUIDNETWorks/howLIQUIDNETWorks.jsp'>http://www.LIQUIDNET.com/cont/howLIQUIDNETWorks/howLIQUIDNETWorks.jsp Let them define themselves. *** The Problem Why does a million-share order get whittled down to a 25,000 share execution? Today's current market structure is a highly inefficient marketplace in which institutional supply and demand goes unrepresented. Concern over information dissemination, as well as lack of depth on the exchanges, means institutions reveal little about the size of their orders. When these orders are executed on the exchanges, institutional demand is paired against retail supply, which results in increasing market movement. Institutional size isn't readily found. The Solution How does LIQUIDNET solve this inefficiency?>>
