I don't think you would be guaranteed such narrow spreads even on an ECN like ISLD. But it really depends on the stock. Some stocks have a 1/16 spread if they are liquid, others have wider spreads. Internet stocks can sometimes have insane spreads of 1-2 points.

The spread is determined by limit orders, liquidity, and interest in a stock. That's all. An all electronic system like ISLD doesn't change that.

I am not defending market makers. I wish they were required to play by the same rules as ECNs.
