What is a Market Maker?

Market makers profit primarily from the bid-ask spread rather than directional price movement.

They help ensure smoother trading by being ready to buy or sell at quoted prices.

Example of Market Maker

A firm continuously offering to buy and sell a currency pair at quoted prices is acting as a market maker.
