LP,

Thanks for your very informative post. Sounds to me like the MMs for the biggest brokerage houses have the advantage in gauging buy/sell pressure, since they would also tend to have the most retail and institutional order flow.

Question: what does "UTP" stand for?

Also: How exactly do MM's go about opening a stock at a particular point? Obviously they don't just pick a number out of thin air, so I suppose there must be some kind of method to their madness.

Thanks,

WS
