How Brokers Can Avoid A Market-Maker's Tricks

"Trick #1: Giving Phony Sizes
Nasdaq market makers routinely take positions in stocks, both long and short, and then turn them around for a profit, or a loss, later in the day. They provide liquidity, but they are also more focused on capitalizing on your lot of stock by buying it for their own trading account and then flipping it to another buyer. In any case, market makers will sometimes post phony sizes in order to lure you into buying or selling a stock. "
