Lets talk about the codes. I do think there is a system that is used to alert other MM’s on what is happening. Bids higher than asks, paints of odd and small sizes. The more you watch the markets the more you become aware off the existence of a code system. Strange things happen when you are watching the L2. I have seen price drops when the bid was higher than the actual selling price and price jumps when the ask is lower. The 911 paints, could that be a signal for news and they need shares? I don’t know but they do show up in pairs. This is an observation we need to start documenting. This could lead to a decoder ring if all heads were put together. There are many X11 paints and the odd 25,50 and 100’s. Problem is you don’t know which MM makes the paints.
Here is one thing that is a definite known. We are betting against the MM’s. They hold most of the cards and we rarely beat them. They are going to make their money first and then give us the scraps. The only time we can beat them is when the volume comes in and trades escalate. That takes the control away from them. They still mask trades while all this is going on so you can never be sure of what is behind door #2.
Now who are the market makers? Simple. The same guys you think of as your broker. Here is a list of current market makers and their trades yesterday. If you go to OTC markets and look them up you can pinpoint just what securities they are actually trading by clicking on the market makers name.
