Market Maker Spread |

Market Maker Spread The difference between the price at which a Market Maker is willing to buy a security and the price at which the firm is willing to sell it (the difference between the bid and ask for a given security). Since each market maker can either buy or sell a stock at any given time, the spread represents the market maker's profit on each trade. Notes: Market makers are limited as to the size of spread they offer. The bid/ask spread has a maximum size, this is to prevent cheating and manipulation of stock prices.See also: Broker - Dealer, ECN, Ghosting, Locked Market, Market Maker, Market Maker Spread, Nasdaq, Quote Driven, SOES How to thank TFD for its existence?
