How much TSX trading is anonymous?
Canada has no public dark pool feed the way the United States does. The closest equivalent is TMX Group's own daily exchange report, which shows how much volume traded anonymously or away from the public order book. These are those numbers, updated every trading day.

What anonymous trading actually means
Every trade on the TSX is normally attributed to the broker that placed it. Anonymous orders hide that identifier, so the market sees the trade but not who did it. Institutions use it to build or unwind a large position without signalling their hand — the same motive behind dark pools in the United States.
A rising anonymous share means more volume is being moved by people who would rather you did not know it was them. That is not bullish or bearish on its own, which is why it is shown here as a level against its own recent range rather than as a signal.
