Any of you guys make market by hand on the larger spread equities? It seems like it could be profitable but I haven't really heard anyone talk about it.

I would just give it a go.

If you'll be market making by hand, you'll be well positioned to compete with these guys ...

I would suggest you take just small steps to start with.

Yeah all the other orders are definitely automated. It kinda seems like they are just flipping from the bid to the offer not taking any inventory.
