False. Some institutional ORDERS aren't available to see. The trades must be reported.

agreed they need to be reported but its only after, you won't be able to see them via the normal bid/ask volume from your broker for example.

The normal bid/ask is not trades. It is orders.

This is the same as OTC, which is not a new technological development.
