Finally See the Institutional Trades That Move Markets
Every day, billions of dollars in stock trades happen in the shadows. These aren’t your typical retail orders — they’re massive institutional block trades executed in private exchanges called dark pools.
Until now, retail traders had no way to see these hidden transactions. You’d watch price bounce off “invisible” levels, never understanding why. You’d see support appear out of nowhere, or resistance that made no sense on your chart.
Dark Pool Levels changes that.
For the first time, you can see exactly where institutions are executing large block trades — right on your TrendSpider chart, updated within 5 minutes of execution.
Why Dark Pool Data Matters
Institutions don’t trade like retail. When a hedge fund wants to buy 5 million shares of AAPL, they can’t just hit “buy” on Robinhood. That order would move the market against them before it even filled.
Instead, they execute in dark pools — private exchanges where large orders can be filled without revealing their hand to the market.
But here’s the thing: Those trades still get reported to the tape. And now you can see them.
When you see a 3 million share print at $178.25, you know something important:
- An institution committed serious capital at that exact price
- They’ll likely defend that level if price returns to it
- That “invisible” support you’ve seen? It’s not invisible anymore

Key Features
Horizontal Price Levels
Each line on your chart represents an actual institutional transaction — not a calculated indicator, not a guess. These are real trades executed in dark pools, ranked by share volume.
The largest prints get the warmest colors (red/orange), making it easy to spot the most significant institutional levels at a glance.
Dynamic Data Table
A clean, customizable table displays your dark pool prints with:
- Rank — Color-coded by share volume (#1 = largest)
- Price — Exact execution price
- Date — When the trade occurred
- Shares — Total shares transacted at this level
- Value — Dollar value of the transaction
- # Trades — How many separate prints aggregated at this price
Choose from 9 preset column layouts, from minimal (just Rank and Price) to full (all columns).
Customizable Labels
Attach informative labels to each level showing exactly what matters to your trading style — price only, price + size, all details, or anything in between.
Flexible Timeframes
From intraday scalping to swing trading to long-term investing:
- Today — See only today’s institutional activity
- Week — Recent momentum and positioning
- 30/60/90 Days — Swing trading sweet spot
- 6 Months / 1 Year — Major institutional levels
- Custom — Pick your exact start date
How Traders Use Dark Pool Levels
1. Identify Hidden Support & Resistance
Dark pool levels often act as invisible support and resistance zones. When you see multiple large prints clustered at a price level, institutions have established positions there — and they’ll likely defend those levels.
What to look for:
- Price approaching a dark pool level from above = potential support
- Price approaching a dark pool level from below = potential resistance
- Multiple prints at similar prices = high-conviction institutional zone
2. Spot Accumulation in Real Time
When institutions are building positions, they execute in dark pools to avoid moving the market. Watch for fresh prints appearing on your chart throughout the trading day.
What to look for:
- Repeated prints at similar price levels = active accumulation
- Large prints appearing near the current price = immediate institutional interest
- Prints clustering above current price = potential upside targets
3. Detect Distribution Zones
Large prints appearing as price rises into resistance can signal institutional distribution — smart money selling into retail buying.
What to look for:
- Large prints appearing at recent highs
- Decreasing print sizes at higher prices
- Prints concentrated below a resistance level
4. Find Institutional Entry Points
After a pullback, dark pool levels from recent weeks often become re-entry zones. Institutions who bought at $150 may add more if price returns to that level.
What to look for:
- Price pulling back to a level with high share volume
- Multiple prints (high # Trades count) at a level = high conviction
- Fresh prints appearing as price approaches old levels
Real Trading Scenarios
Breakout Confirmation
You see SPY approaching resistance at $690. You load Dark Pool Levels and notice three large prints (5M+ shares each) at $689.50-$690.00 over the past week.
Interpretation: Institutions are actively transacting at this level. If price breaks above with volume, these levels become support. If rejected, institutions may be distributing.
Finding the Real Support
AAPL drops 3% and you’re wondering where to buy. You load Dark Pool Levels (60 Days) and see the largest print of the period at $178.25 with 8M shares.
Interpretation: This is a high-conviction institutional level. Watch for price reaction at $178.25 — institutions often defend their positions.
Intraday Scalping
You’re trading NVDA on a 5-minute chart. You set Date Range to “Today” and watch as new prints appear within minutes of execution.
Interpretation: Fresh prints appearing in real time show you exactly where large orders are being filled right now. Use these as intraday support/resistance levels.
Swing Trade Entry
You want to buy MSFT on a pullback. You load Dark Pool Levels (90 Days) and sort by Shares (Largest). The top 5 prints are all between $415-$420.
Interpretation: This price zone has absorbed significant institutional volume. It’s a high-probability support zone for a swing entry.
Pro Tips
Layer Your Analysis
Add the indicator twice on the same chart:
- First instance: Today’s prints (Date Range: Today)
- Second instance: 30-day prints with larger minimum size
This lets you see fresh trades against historically significant levels — a powerful confluence signal.
Adjust for Market Cap
- Large-caps (AAPL, MSFT, SPY): Use 200K-500K+ minimum share size
- Mid-caps: Use 100K-200K minimum
- Small-caps: Use 50K minimum
This filters noise and shows only the prints that matter for that stock’s typical volume.
Watch for Clusters
A single print at a price is interesting. Five prints within a $0.50 range? That’s an institutional zone they care about.
One Level Is All It Takes
One avoided stop-out. One better entry. One time you held through the noise because you could see institutions defending a level.
That’s all it takes to pay for this indicator many times over.
The game isn’t rigged — you just couldn’t see the whole board.
Now you can.
