That's right. More specifically, the MM(computer algo) takes the measure of volatility and moves the price based on momentum to the orders that can best maximize that volatility. They don't care about price, only trade volume. And that is the mechanism which provides an "orderly" marketplace. Without them it would be a constant Mexican standoff.

As a passive investor, you don't care...you don't deal with the mechanisms. As an active investor/trader the MMs are your soldiers, and you must learn to command them.
