◈ how we score it

Honesty = estimated real volume ÷ reported volume for MERL on each venue, from five trade-tape fingerprints (timing, Benford, self-trade pairing, price-impact, size entropy). Pick the venue with the deepest real book, not the loudest reported number. How to buy MERL → · how to sell MERL → · full venue ranking → · compare two venues →
