Said it before and i'll say it again - you are an absolutely incredible teacher. One of the only people on youtube smart enough to understand a topic and explain it clearly and concisely to people who don't! Other people just try to teach you as if they're just going over it again in their heads.

Thanks. I am thinking of putting together a short financial markets guide/book to go with these videos. If that would be of interest maybe viewers can tick here.

GameStop has brought me here. Citadel is a leading Market Maker. This video just gave me chills in all honesty. Everything is beginning to make sense. I hope for the best once the dust settles

Best Video I have seen on Bid/Ask. Don't need to watch any video. This guy knows his stuff and he has effective communication skills. I am going to watch more of his Videos. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.

ConfusedLad27 - yes in liquid shares an order book can electronically match buy and sell orders provided the prices agree. Market makers are increasingly used in less liquid markets or markets where there is no central exchange (e.g. the bonds market).
