Built by a working professional, for working professionals.
Dark Pools Trading was started by Anthony — a working professional who runs a small daytrading LLC and has been trading SPY options for the last three years. By day he practices foot and ankle sports medicine; trading is the work he does early, before the bell, with the same discipline a clinical workup demands.
He started trading the way most professionals do: late at night, with too many tabs open, hoping a chart could explain itself. It could not. What finally worked was the thing every working professional already knows how to do — work from a checklist, run the same procedure the same way every time, and trust the steps over the feeling in the room.
The trader I want to be on Friday is the trader who showed up prepared on Monday.
Dark Pools Trading is built for the same kind of person — the physician, the attorney, the engineer, the founder. People with a day job who don't need a louder feed. They need a process they can run before the open, a small set of rules they actually follow, and a community of people doing the same work on the same chart.
The free Discord is the front door — open to anyone, so you can see how the room works. Premium is where members do the real work: live levels, live commentary, journal review, and direct response. Both are run by Anthony, in plain language, with no urgency, no screenshots of yesterday's win, and no promises about tomorrow.
Anthony recently completed a surgical residency and now practices foot and ankle sports medicine in the Los Angeles area. The clinical work and the trading work share one thing: a checklist, every day, in the same order.
