question...
say you have a spread like .075 x .08 and there are decent trades going across the spread(10k shrs +), then small trades start going across like this:
first, 3000 9:50:51 .08
then, 3000 9:50:51 .079
2250 10:12:12 .08
2250 10:12:12 .079
etc etc.
is this just the MMs painting the tape? a technical blip? and if it is painting the tape why make it so obvios with the trades at the exact same time, size, etc.?
TIA
