Resting orders, balances and positions stay private from other traders and the public. Trades print to a public tape.
Illustrative simulation
The same market, twice. On a public book a bot reads your order. On NoirWire there is nothing to read.
This illustrative SOL-PERP simulation compares two books receiving the same market activity. On a public book, your resting order can be read and a bot can place an order one tick ahead. On NoirWire Dark Pool, other traders and bots cannot read your resting order. Your order can match at its price, and executed trades print to a public tape.
