Dark pools, hidden orders and iceberg orders. 🌊

All stealth, but not equal.

Let’s break down the 3 types of “invisible” order types in crypto and understand why hidden orders are superior for perp trading. 👇

1/ Dark pools 🔍

Private, off-book venues. Fully anonymous.

Great for large trades but faces:

❌ Fragmented liquidity

❌ Complex order routing

❌ Separate from public orderbook

You’re flying stealth, but in another sky.

2/ Iceberg Orders 🧊

Only part of your order is visible. The rest stays “underwater.”

✅ Gradual fills

✅ Some book presence

But they are:

❌ Not truly anonymous

❌ Can still signal intent

❌ Have slower execution

3/ Hidden Orders 👻

The best of both worlds.

Fully invisible limit orders, sitting inside the public matching engine.

✅ No liquidity fragmentation

✅ Zero signaling

✅ Executes silently

✅ Integrated with central book

4/ Why do hidden orders matter in perp trading? 🤔

Because in fast leveraged markets, front-running and price impact hurt traders.

Hidden orders let you:

✅ Defend price levels

✅ Avoid slippage

✅ Fill faster, smarter, and stealthier

5/ Therefore, hidden orders are considered to be superior option for perp trading.

Unlike dark pools, you stay in the main book.

Unlike icebergs, you reveal nothing.

For pro traders, institutions, and anyone who wants tighter execution, hidden orders are the way to go. 💪
