Dark Pool Prints

Large off-exchange trades and the price levels they establish.

How TickerBuff reads it

Off-exchange prints show completed transactions away from displayed exchanges. TickerBuff groups repeat activity around price zones and watches how the market behaves when those zones are approached again.

Inputs that matter

  • Premium and share-size concentration
  • Repeated prints near the same price
  • Off-lit volume share versus normal levels
  • Retests, rejection, or acceptance around print zones

What the signal cannot prove

Prints do not disclose buyer or seller intent and can be reported with delays. They are most useful as liquidity context after price confirms a response.
