this week ... there have been few days where ARCA is not making markets in mining stocks pre market now ... they never really make a market ... its just GTC orders usually on their book ... but on the dozen or so stocks I look at including ETF's there are few if any bids and offers ... so I am curious ... did the customers just stop placing orders as GTC or did any MM who ARCA used for pre market liquidity go on vacation ?
again this am ... on a busy european session ARCA is "out sick" for the precious metals sector whats going on ? I guess the NYSE - ARCA pre market precious metals and precious metals ETF is a joke for them ? how come they do not have some MM to work "house orders" how come no HF is stepping in to make a market
they never make markets - all they do is route for their customers with the exception of .01 bids and 9999 offers which they do because they are required
