Well this is Interesting…Understanding OTC Pink…
The over-the-counter (OTC) market is a decentralized market where securities, not listed on major exchanges, are traded directly by a network of dealers. Instead of providing an order matchmaking service like the NYSE, these dealers carry inventories of securities to facilitate any buy or sell orders. Because information was initially printed on pink paper, the OTC Pink is also referred to as the Pink Sheets.
The OTC Pink, as well as its companion tiers, OTCQX and OTCQB, is run by OTC Link. The link is an electronic inter-dealer quotation and trading system developed by OTC Markets Group. Registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer, OTC Link is also an alternative trading system (ATS)
OTC Link allows broker-dealers not only to post and disseminate their quotes but also to negotiate trades through the system’s electronic messaging capability. This feature enabled it to replace the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), which was a quotation-only system.
OK SO WHAT IS ATS???????

What Is an Alternative Trading System (ATS)?
An alternative trading system (ATS) is a trading venue that is more loosely regulated than an exchange. ATS platforms are often used to match large buy and sell orders among its subscribers. The most widely used type of ATS in the United States are electronic communication networks (ECNs)—computerized systems that automatically match buy and sell orders for securities in the market.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
* Alternative trading systems (ATS) are venues for matching large buy and sell transactions.
* They are not as highly regulated as exchanges.
* Examples of ATS include dark pools and ECNs.

SO ALTERNATIVE TRADING SYSTEMS (ATS) are Actually DARK POOLS!!!!!!!!
Let’s Continue Below Understanding ATS….
Understanding an Alternative Trading System (ATS)
ATS account for much of the liquidity found in publicly traded issues worldwide. They are known as multilateral trading facilities in Europe, ECNs, cross networks, and call networks. Most ATS are registered as broker-dealers rather than exchanges and focus on finding counterparties for transactions.
Alternative trading system (ATS) is the terminology used in the U.S. and Canada. In Europe, they are known as multilateral trading facilities.
Unlike some national exchanges, ATS do not set rules governing the conduct of subscribers or discipline subscribers, other than by excluding them from trading. They are important in providing alternative means to access liquidity.
VERY INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Institutional investors may use an ATS to find counterparties for transactions, instead of trading large blocks of shares on national stock exchanges. These actions may be designed to conceal trading from public view since ATS transactions do not appear on national exchange order books. The benefit of using an ATS to execute such orders is that it reduces the domino effect that large trades might have on the price of an equity
