Market Maker
A market maker is responsible for providing a constant bid and ask for the particular share they are designated to. It is possible for them to use a computer network to match buyers and sellers almost instantaneously. Market makers must provide a quote within a pre-determined spread. The difference between the bid and ask is determined by share volume, price and liquidity amongst other things.
Market makers are most commonly used at OTC exchanges or by brokers who aren’t registered with an exchange.
