In a 'dark pool,' why is latency arbitrage less of a concern than on a 'lit' exchange?

  1. Dark pools are legally exempt from all high-frequency trading activity.
  2. Dark pools do not display quotes, making it harder for an arbitrageur to identify a 'stale' target in real-time.
  3. Dark pools are only used for trading bonds, which have no latency arbitrage.
  4. Dark pools only allow trades that take more than one second to execute.
