Use when slicing a block into non-displayed venues and a counterparty could probe the resting size; enforces anti-pinging minimum quantity thresholds and filters venues by self-measured post-trade markout.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## When to Use Use this skill when designing institutional Smart Order Routers (SOR) or execution algorithms that slice parent block orders into non-displayed Alternative Trading Systems (ATS / dark pools). Dark pools offer midpoint executions without pre-trade market impact, but a counterparty can probe a resting block with small "pinging" orders, detect it, and trade ahead of it on lit venues. This module scores dark venues by fill rate discounted by post-trade markout toxicity, excludes venues above a toxicity ceiling, allocates the parent proportionally, and attaches a Minimum Quantity (`MinQty`, FIX tag 110) instruction to every child order. Empirical support for the premise: dark venues with more access restrictions show measurably less order-flow information leakage and adverse selection, causally identified from exogenous venue closures (Brugler & Comerton-Forde, *Journal of Financial Economics*, 2025 — Australian venue setting; the mechanism generalises, the magnitudes do not). ## When NOT to Use …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/dark-pool-routing-logic@sha256:bfb08c62fe6d592aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
