Jim,
When getting a quote online I don't know what it means when it says "bid size 10" "ask size 5"; usually it is 5x5. Does this mean that twice as many are waitng to sell as to buy? Also when the spread is very narrow (1/32) does that mean anything, the MM's can't make much money that way. Thanks, Bob
