Hello kokonutguy, I noticed your question about the Market Makers and had this document in my documents. This is not an all inclusive list of the MM's but is a good one for the level two. I hope it can help you. Sorry to butt in.

Market Maker (MM) and ECN Level II IDs
This is a not all inclusive list of Nasdaq market maker and ECN Level II IDs. It is meant to include the more significant and frequent participants and leaves out those with little relevance. My gauge for inclusion in this list: if I've never seen a market maker code I don't list it. Thus, if you feel I've left one out which should belong, please let me know.
