About the Book

A news-breaking account of the global stock market's subterranean battles, Dark Pools portrays the rise of the "bots"- artificially intelligent systems that execute trades in milliseconds and use the cover of darkness to out-maneuver the humans who've created them. In the beginning was Josh Levine, an idealistic programming genius who dreamed of wresting control of the market from the big exchanges that, again and again, gave the giant institutions an advantage over the little guy. Levine created a computerized trading hub named Island where small traders swapped stocks, and over time his invention morphed into a global electronic stock market that sent trillions in capital through a vast jungle of fiber-optic cables. By then, the market that Levine had sought to fix had turned upside down, birthing secretive exchanges called dark pools and a new species of trading machines that could think, and that seemed, ominously, to be slipping the control of their human masters. Dark Pools is the fascinating story of how global markets have been hijacked by trading robots--many so self-directed that humans can't predict what they'll do next.

Patterson's methodically researched book exposes the core problems in today's securities market, and examines how misguided regulatory shifts and an ever-increasing "need for speed" in the trading world have created a more fragile marketplace--one that has left many classes of investors on a critically uneven playing field. Accurate and insightful, Patterson's findings should serve as a blueprint for the SEC, members of Congress and all other regulators who are serious about achieving true market stability, fairness and reform." -Blair Hull, founder of Hull Trading and Ketchum Trading "In 1945, the average length of time an investor held a stock was four years. By 2000, it was eight months; in 2008, two months. The average today is 22 seconds and dropping. Wall Street Journal reporter Scott Patterson's "Dark Pools" deploys many such eyebrow-raising stats as it charts the rise of high-frequency trading.... An entertaining account of the key battles in the "algo wars" and the colorful math geeks who fight them--some of whom are now fighting to rein in the monsters they created. Dark Pools is an alarming account of a market rapidly slipping out of human control, and a slow-witted regulatory regime unable to keep up." - Canadian Business ""Dark Pools "is a must read for all serious investors.
