Level 2/Totalview Question

[Mild_Mannered_Jeff]

Hi Guys

Just got eSignal's Totalview and I am trying to figure why I am only seeing Nasdaq as the MMID with the best bid/ask. Other Market Participants hardly exist....100 here 100 there.

This makes it difficullt to see who is buying or selling because they are all call NASDAQ.

Sorry to be such a Dumbo but can anyone explain what is going on here.

Thanks

That's exactly why alot of market participants trade under the NSDQ symbol. It makes it much harder for other traders to see who is doing the buying and selling.
