Fourth market

Fourth market trading is direct institution-to-institution trading without using the service of broker-dealers, thus avoiding both commissions,[1] and the bid–ask spread.[2][3] Trades are usually done in blocks. It is impossible to estimate the volume of fourth market activity because trades are not subject to reporting requirements.[citation needed] Studies have suggested that several million shares are traded per day.[citation needed]
