The single highest-premium bucket in the window. The print everyone else is fading or following — rendered with a violet glow and 700 weight.
Off-exchange.On the tape.
Darkpool streams off-exchange prints from every U.S. ATS venue, bins them into transparent price levels, and tiers each one as Hero, Magnet, Support, or Resistance. The block — before the rotation.

The 2×2 dashboard most platforms don't have.
Switch to Snapshot and Darkpool stops being a tape and starts being a map. Leaderboard, premium distribution, candles with level overlays, and a key-levels table — all recomputing as you switch the window.
| Level | Strength | Δ Spot | Prints | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $898 Magnet | +0.44% | 22 | $148M | |
| $896 @ spot | +0.21% | 14 | $96M | |
| $894 Hero | 0.00% | 38 | $391M | |
| $890 | −0.46% | 18 | $118M | |
| $886 | −0.91% | 12 | $74M |
Four terms. One vocabulary.
Hero, Magnet, Support, Resistance. Cortex narrates dark prints using these terms; the dashboard renders them with the same colors and weights. One word per concept, no glossary required.
The largest premium cluster sitting >0.5% away from spot. Institutional liquidity pulling price toward it — rendered with the gold accent.
The closest premium-tier level below spot. Where the desk has reason to defend on weakness; first place to lean on a flush.
The closest premium-tier level above spot. Where the desk has reason to sell into strength; first place sellers re-emerge.
Raw prints become tradeable levels.
Every print is binned into a transparent price bucket at ingest. The bucket aggregates total notional, print count, and timestamp — that's what powers the leaderboard, the donut, the chart overlays, and the key-levels table.
No raw-tape spam. Every bucket is a real piece of liquidity, sized by notional, ranked by recency, tiered by the Lexicon.
Three windows. One screen.
The chart, the levels, the leaderboard — they all switch when you switch the window. Walk the whole session, the last hour, or the last fifteen minutes.
Every aggregation recomputes instantlywhen you switch the window. The Hero on the day isn't always the Hero in the last fifteen minutes — that's the point.
Two sources. Both on the tape.
The live feed is for intraday signal. FINRA's official weekly aggregates are for trend and compliance reference. Cortex exposes both and tells you when the data is stale.
Off-exchange prints from U.S. ATS venues, ingested as they hit the SIP tape. 45-second auto-refresh during market hours. Full per-print enrichment.
- Ticker, price, size, premium, venue, TRF, tape, SIP conditions
- Volume context — % of today's volume and 30-day average
- Sector + issue type — SIC sector + CS/ADRC/ETF/ETN tag
- Bucketed into Hero / Magnet / Support / Resistance at ingest
get_dark_pool_dataThe official FINRA weekly ATS aggregates by venue. Delayed 1–2 weeks. Used for trend, compliance reference, and Cortex agent ground truth.
- Per-venue weekly share volume
- Multi-week trend across all reporting ATS
- The honest reference dataset — not real-time
- Cortex names the lag when it serves this data
get_finra_ats_volumeCortex exposes both as tools — get_dark_pool_data for the live feed and get_finra_ats_volume for the delayed weekly. The agent knows the difference and tells you when the data is stale.
One print. Five lenses for it.
Other dark-pool feeds hand you the print. Trade Echo hands you the print, the dealer map, the flow score, the algo footprint, and an AI that can narrate it.

Built for every seat at the desk.
Follow the build.
Open Snapshot. Watch the Magnet form across a week, then a session, then an hour. Get in where the desk has size at the level.
Confirm with flow.
Pair the live feed with OptionFlow on the same ticker. A Hero level plus a Golden-tier print is the rare confirmation worth sizing into.
Hunt the Hero.
Save the names you watch. When a single bucket pulls 40%+ of a ticker's notional in the window, you'll know. That's the Hero.
Run it through Cortex.
The multi_signal_scan agent pulls Darkpool, OptionFlow, DealerEdge, and AlgoEdge in parallel. Ask once, get four lenses back.
The print is the floor. The dashboard is the moat.
Dark-pool feeds on their own are commoditized. Trade Echo aggregates every print into a per-ticker map, names every level, and lets a Cortex agent narrate the whole thing.
