Dark Pool Index Today: Check the Latest Published Session
SqueezeMetrics’ Dark Index (DIX) is a dollar-weighted aggregate of the Dark Pool Indicator for S&P 500 components.
For the latest published DIX reading, use the official SqueezeMetrics chart and check the date shown. This page is an interpretation guide and does not display a live value. A “today” search can occur before the provider has published the current market session; use the last available date rather than assuming a blank or old value means zero.
Where to find the latest reading
Open the official DIX chart. Record the displayed session date, value and retrieval time. If a download is available, preserve the version used in your research. A historical file downloaded later can contain corrections unavailable at an earlier decision time.
What DIX measures
The provider defines DIX as a dollar-weighted S&P 500 aggregate of its Dark Pool Indicator. It is not a direct count of institutional buy orders, a price-versus-NBBO classification or an individual-stock DIX. The provider’s interpretation is a market-sentiment proxy; it does not identify the customer or its total position.
Do not substitute a ticker dark ratio
The current SqueezeMetrics documentation distinguishes public index DIX from a ticker’s D measurement. The ticker measure uses reported off-exchange short-sale volume and has its own smoothing, lag and missing-data treatment. A similarly named series from another platform should not be assumed equivalent.
Pineify’s buy/sell summary is a different calculation
Pineify’s Dark Pool table compares transaction price with the supplied NBBO midpoint and summarizes classified records. The current interface does not implement or display SqueezeMetrics DIX. Its buy/sell counts are neither that index nor verified net institutional demand. Use Pineify for print-level research and the original provider for its index.
Test a rule without inventing a success rate
Choose an observation date, data availability rule, threshold and horizon before evaluating outcomes. Include losing observations, costs and a separate evaluation period. Overlapping forward returns reduce the independence of observations. This page supplies no verified 60/40 trading rule, 73% win rate or guaranteed continuation after an extreme.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I see DIX today?
Use the official SqueezeMetrics DIX chart and check the newest published session. This page does not provide a live reading.
Is DIX a live index for each stock?
No. The public DIX is an S&P 500 aggregate. The provider’s individual-ticker D measure is distinct.
Is DIX calculated from above-midpoint prints?
That is not the provider’s published definition. Do not confuse Pineify’s quote-based side inference with SqueezeMetrics’ short-volume-based research.
Does Pineify show the DIX?
The current Dark Pool interface shows transactions and derived summaries, not the SqueezeMetrics DIX series.
Does a high reading guarantee a rally?
No. It is a proxy whose interpretation and historical relationships need evaluation. A fixed threshold is not a guaranteed trading signal.
Why may the latest date be older than today?
Publication depends on the provider’s inputs and processing. Market-session dates and actual availability times are different.
