I am an individual investor investing in the U.S.A markets. PFOF Brokers and Wholesalers do not represent my interests. I want fully transparent markets, dark pools should be prohibited/abolished (after settlement of course), FTD'S and FTR'S should never have been allowed and as for OTC markets if the criminals were any more shameless. 
Market makers with hedge fund side businesses are guaranteed corrupt which is a conflict of interest in a free market system and have no place inside a free and fair market.
