What you're saying does not make sense. I am going to make a wild guess that your orders do not meet the minimum size requirement to be displayed. Do they? If they don't, you won't have much luck buying at the bid and selling at the offer because the only market maker that knows your order exists is the one to which your brokerage firm routes it.

I've been following this stock for several years, have been posting on this board since 2010, and have NEVER had a problem getting my orders represented and displayed (getting filled is not 100%, obviously). It is not "the market makers" who have the inside bid and offer on ALRT -- it is almost entirely individual investors and traders (and maybe a few small funds). On an illiquid stock like this, when market makers trade for their own account just to provide liquidity, their quotes will generally not be the best offer, and will ALMOST NEVER be the best bid except when they've just sold a few shares short on the offer and want to cover.
