Yukon, situations vary of course but often what you are seeing are MMs showing 100 shares because they have no current active desire to trade a stock, but are required by regulation to make a market. 100 shares is often the minimum that can be displayed to retain the market making right...

Miki, welcome to the threads and feel free to throw the questions out there -- we are all learning as we go. M_c is absolutely right about your time and sales setup. T&S would never be useful for me if not for the filter he describes. The color coding is also important for me because out of...
