Dear Lies, You wrote: "When you are wrong you're wrong." Yes, and you are wrong. Trades take place all the time through market makers who are not displayed on the bid or ask on your Level II, whether you want to admit it or not. I don't know how simple I can make this. You wrote: "When a trade takes place at a price either the bid or ask it is being absorbed by the best ask or bid MM at that moment. Regardless if its 1000 or 10000 shares." This sentence is almost surreal, and certainly the product of fuzzy thinking. It makes no sense. Osmosis was from science class, remember? These are the financial markets. When I make trades with one market maker, they are not somehow "absorbed" to become trades with another market maker. Happy Investing! Vanni
