	Market Maker Exemption From Net Capital Rule
		In addition, market makers that engage in more than occasional off-floor transactions, that are not directly related to their primary on-floor business, to the extent that the off-floor transactions are more than 25% of their total transactions will be required to file annually audited financial statements.
		These market makers would be allowed to withdraw equity capital, however, so long as their tentative net capital, i.e., net capital before haircut and undue concentrations deductions, is equal to at least 25% of their total deductions and 120% of their required minimum net capital before haircuts.
		In the case of a market maker subject to the net capital rule, the notice provisions of paragraph (e)(1) and the temporary restrictions on withdrawal of net capital of paragraph (e)(3) would be based upon tentative net capital rather than net capital.

	Market Maker
		A "market maker" is a firm that stands ready to buy and sell a particular stock on a regular and continuous basis at a publicly quoted price.
		You'll most often hear about market makers in the context of the Nasdaq or other "over the counter" (OTC) markets.
		Market makers that stand ready to buy and sell stocks listed on an exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, are called "third market makers." Many OTC stocks have more than one market-maker.

	Market makers and the role of Easy Forex Ltd.
		Market Makers regard the total positions of their clients as a whole, same goes for banks and other market makers in the Forex market.
		Market makers are not intermediates, neither portfolio managers, nor advisors who represent customers (while earning commission), but rather they buy and sell goods to the customer.
		Definitely not, because the Forex market is the nearest to being a "perfect market" (as defined by economics theory).

	What is a Market Maker?
		A market maker is a special type of broker whose function it is “make” the market for a particular stock.
		The market maker will hold a certain number of stock shares in his or her inventory for the express purpose of being able to sell them to the person bidding to purchase them, or will add to his or her inventory by purchasing stock from a seller offering stock shares.
		Since a market maker makes a profit on every sale, whether the market goes up or down, the right to be a market maker on a market like the NASDAQ is worth a great deal of money.

	Pink Sheets -- Electronic Quotation and Trading System for OTC Securities

	Welcome to eSignal Learning! -- Better Trading. Smarter Investing.
		Depending on the exchange, when a market maker posts a bid or ask price, the exchanges (at least the major ones) require that the newly posted price (in our case, $3.60) be good for at least 20 contracts.
		It is often in the market maker's best interest to fill your order for five contracts at $3.60 just to get you out of his hair.
		Unless the market moves dramatically in your direction, you're going to be sitting there with one filled contract and an open order to sell nine other contracts.

	Market Makers: Trade Execution Solutions for Online Investors -- Knight Securities, L.P.
		As a market maker in NASDAQ securities, Knight engages in the widespread industry practice of "payments for order-flow." Under this practice, broker-dealers who originate market orders receive rebates of typically between 1¢ and 2¢ per share for orders directed by them to selected market makers for execution.

	Market Maker Tactics
		The market makers are purely there to try and buy a contract on their bid price, and then either try to sell that same contract on their offer price, or hedge their delta risk immediately if they can't offset the original trade.
		In fact, the market makers try really hard to give good, accurate and fair quotes because, quite frankly, the ones who give the best markets are the ones who get involved with the most trades.
		It's a market maker's job to be tactically involved with as many trades as possible, while getting a small edge with each one of those trades.

	Market maker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A market maker is a person or a firm which quotes a buy and sell price in a financial instrument or commodity hoping to make a profit on the turn or the bid/offer spread
		In such a system there are no designated or official market makers but market makers nevertheless exist.
		Proponents of the official market making system claim market makers add to the liquidity and depth of the market by taking a short or long position for a time, thus assuming some risk, in return for hopefully making a small profit.

		Market makers are very important for maintaining liquidity and efficiency for the particular securities that they make markets in.

	Price formation
		In the FX market, the market makers are the actors which decide the exchange rates.
		At each time step, a new market price is calculated from the average of all the new prices announced during the lapse of time.
		Consequently if the old price is already higher than the current market price, a correction to the rise will be moderated and a price drop will be increased according the direction taken by the market maker.

	How To Quote Securities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Every OTC security not currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is considered "ineligible" until a Market Maker submits a Form 211 or a 15c2-11 Exemption Form. After clearance, the security is granted "eligible" status.
		If a security has eligible status, it means one or more Market Makers has received clearance to quote the issue on the OTC Bulletin Board within the last 30 days. Any other participating Market Maker that wishes to quote the issue must also submit a completed Form 211.
		Market Makers should also check to see if the issue is on the National Quotation Bureau's Pink Sheets.
