    Is my broker's favorite market maker looking at my keystrokes?

    It's funny, 20-25 years ago (when a 500 share trade of GE could cost $50-90 in fees), I use to trade this way. I think I will go back to this style much more. If I am trading a large volume stock (QQQ), sit and wait. I can wait hours/days on this...I really can. The problems occurs when I...

    Is my broker's favorite market maker looking at my keystrokes?

    Plan ahead...Jump ahead of other MMs. I assume this is a crime if it occurred?? Would it be a major crime...Or just a major fine offense?? Unless it is spelled out in the fine print of the broker, I would not think it could be done. Major conflict of interest...
