Question for the ex-mm's: What's the story with the occasionally extremely large print on the tape, usually under or above the market of an otc stock? Does it have any informational value for the proprietary trader? Tia, t4s

You traded both extensively? I guess not.. Eurex is shitty but at least it doesn't crash every other day..

The major downside of the NYSE is imo the slowness of executions and especially cancellations. Your trading will inevitably be less precise and more prone to mistakes and therefore more costly and less secure. I can totally imagine buy side traders much prefer an electronic system without...
