Found this:

If you learn how to read into Level 2 on the OTCBB & PINK SHEETS it will really enhance your trading. Let's break down the Market Markets.

There are 4 categories of Market Makers let's start by talking about the first one.

Retail Market Makers:

These are the market makers from very popular brokerage firms. They handle a lot of the order flow for small retail investors.

NITE: NITE

UBSS: Schwab

SBSH: Citibank

ETRD: ETRADE

BOFA: Bank of America

Second Category: This is the list that you really have to master because these are the MARKET MAKERS that can kill a stock in a hurry when they are the sitting on right side of the box on Level 2.
HDSN: killed CKYS single-handedly

VFIN:

CGFL: new kid on the block for sub dilution

RBCM: Old CLYP. Has killed many sub penny stocks in the past to no-bid.

FANC: used to be a heavy S-8 seller. May show up once in a great while.

SSGI: aggressive on sub penny stocks

Third category: There are lot market makers in this category so I will break it down to who are the most important: These are some of the more friendlier market makers on the street.

DOMS: one of my favorites
MAXM:
VERT:
HILL:
SALI: can be a seller at times
JEFF:
FRAN: very friendly
ABLE:
QUIN: haven't seen him around much lately
VNDM:
SEAB:
MURF: getting active lately
STGI: getting active lately
VERT:
WDCO: can be a seller at times
PERT:
NIII:
BEST:
GNLN: nice to see him back again
EFGI: can be a seller at times

Category 4: ECN MARKET MAKERS: Electronic Routes
these market makers are only used on OTC BB stocks. They do not work for pink sheet market.

ARCA: used a lot by promoters to sell stock
TRAC: rarely used any more taken over by EDGX
EDGX: new kid on the block

There are probably a few market makers that I left out or there will a few new market makers that show but for the most part these are the major players. Good luck hopes this helps.
