So we can buy and sell. All good. Market makers apparently ensure we can buy and sell, but how much does it take to move a stock with real examples. Is that info even available. What about options, etfs and dark pools. How much can the MM move a stock regardless of supply and demand to hit a price point that makes sense to them. Any percentage limits? Any insights. These seem like pretty basic questions for a member of the general public to participate.
