Lock Used in the context of general equities. Make a market both ways (bid andoffer) either on the bid, offering, or an in-between price only.

Locking on the bid side attracts buyers for similar reasons. Typically, the sell side requires a plus tick to comply with short sale rules. How to thank TFD for its existence?
