thats why they have "reserve" features on certain ECN's, and why EWN (formerly NWII) terminals have "auto-refresh" and "auto-increment" features.

Could you describe these features in another level of detail?

What is a "reserve" feature? Do the MM's trade on the ECN's?

Most of all I'm curious what the "auto-increment" feature is and how it is used. What causes the "increment"? Is it based on a # of shares executed at a certain price? (obviously it would be programmable by the MM trader).

Or does "auto-increment" mean moving the bid/ask by a fixed increment when the MM trader makes the choice?

Thanks for the info...
Eric

I'd pay money to see a Joe Kernan Special go off inside a trader's office one time.

"Hi Bill"

"Nothing much, how about you?"

"She's fine. We went to.....HOLY SH*T! I'll call ya back, bye."

Aw, golly. It's pretty late.

I keep working too hard.

I need one of those jobs where you just check the mailbox for checks.
