Most foreign exchange trading firms are market makers and so are many banks, although not in all currency markets. In foreign exchange (or FX) trading, where most deals are conducted over-the-counter and are, therefore, completely virtual, the market maker sells to and buys from its clients and is compensated by means of price differentials and for the service of providing liquidity, reducing transaction costs and facilitating trade. Recent developments in the over-the-counter FX market have permitted even buy-side (non bank participants) virtually to act as market-makers through the advent of high speed/frequency software engines that submit bids and offers outside prices available on other networks or ECN (electronic communication network) where FX is traded. In stock exchangeMost stock exchanges operate on a "matched bargain" or "order driven" basis. In such a system there are no designated or official market makers, but market makers nevertheless exist. When a buyer's bid price meets a seller's offer price or vice versa, the stock exchange's matching system decides that a deal has been executed. From Wikipedia under the

What is, in your opinion, the best coffee maker on the market? Asked by kimgoddess - Wed May 10 06:05:25 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are many cheap coffee makers around, and many expensive ones, so this answer depends on how much you want to spend. I bought one for 40 dollars (US dollars) at Lowes and bought it because it's a carafe without a burner, so the coffee is kept hot by the insulation in the pot itself, and not by it sitting on a burner. Burners tend to make the coffee more bitter the longer it sits, whereas a carafe keeps it hot for about 5 hours, without it going bitter, or making it so strong you can't stand it.

Q. I would like to know if the their is a way to tell if a market maker is slowing the decline of a stock or slowing its rise...in order to maintain an orderly market...also how do I tell who the "ax" is Asked by jdoug_sellers - Thu Jul 31 16:24:30 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. YOu could try asking the market maker. Seriously, I don't think there's anyway to know. But market makers don't affect the price of a stock in any sustained way. All they do is take up some slack when there's a temporary lack of buyers or sellers. If you find out who the "ax" is, please let me know too!! Sounds like a street name for a nyc rapper.
