Market Makers

I'm trying to gain a better understanding of the financial markets from a market maker's perspective, details of how they operate, and methods and strategies they used to move the markets.

Any suggestions on books, courses, or websites would be appreciated. I've done the Google thing, so I would like to receive recommendations from others that have also researched the matter.

 

Equity or Option Market Makers?

 

Equity and Forex.

 

I`ve heard much good about this book. It may answer some of your questions.

Sorry, I only know about the options side.

 

The option side would be of interest for future reference if you have the time to spare.

 

http://www.amazon.com/Option-Market-Making-Financial-Commodity/dp/0471578320/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1 this is a good book to get insight into option market making.
