I would like clarification on a timeline for these changes to be implemented. How realistic is this change and how far along is it? In addition, do you have any information on what the history would look like and if any historical data will be freely available to us or is it going to be only on a go-forward basis?

The real question is: why were these not already in place?! Yes. To all these items. I’m addition, any darkpool sale needs to have a reason submitted to FINRA for approval before a DP can be used for a sale. The darkpool was created so that massive institutional buy/sell orders did not damage the market. Now it’s simply used to hide transactions from the market. This must stop. Regulate to ensure it is being used for the correct purposes and eliminate darkpool corruption.

Increased visibility into market activity. Retail investors cannot be kept at a disadvantage to institutional investors. It's not a fair market if we aren't playing the same game, with the same tools and the same information. Dark pool trading needs to be limited to specific use-cases if not removed entirely. No high-frequency trading. Short positions should be disclosed and those positions need to be closed out in a timely manner, no kicking the can down the road indefinitely.
