In Reply To: hey thanks merlin! .. after reading through numerous posts, I think i've got a bit more color on market making vs. day/prop. trading and the like. But i still have some open questions I wanted to bring and get various opinions ... Do market makers only spend time working off the bid/ask spread to make a quick profit, or will they focus more on technicals (in other words, will you ever see a market maker looking at stochastics, support/resistance levels, overbought/oversold positions, etc to make trades)?
