5. Market Maker Make $$$ on Bid-Offer Spread ?
A market maker is someone who is always quoting a bid-ask spread for a given option contract. The market maker is willing to take either side of the trade and is hoping to profit from the spread between the bid and offer. Example: AAPL is trading at $ The market maker makes a market for the Dec 550 calls at up. This means that at this given time the market maker is willing to buy 20 contracts at $25 and/or sell 20 contracts at $25.30.

6. Market Maker Makes $$$ on Implied Volatility
Think about the market makers inventory like you would a jersey store. Its all about inventory in and inventory out. The store owner will keep the store well stocked with the “hot” names. Lebron James is a popular name and will always sell out. Since these names are more popular the store owner knows there is a bigger demand for them. He also knows he needs to be more competitive in his pricing. The market maker operates the same way. Stocks that are heavily traded will have a tighter market and more quantity available. AAPL and FB are the Lebron jerseys of options.

7. Market Maker Makes $$$ on Time Decay
Time Decay: Think about options like an insurance policy that you buy. You may pay your car insurance premiums once a month but you are really paying them a little every day. Options are the same way. Returning to the previous example the market maker who sold the trader those APPL calls also profits from time decay. The option trader who bought those calls paid all of the premium up front but the options will decay a little everyday. As the market maker is delta neutral they are profiting on this time decay.

12. Using the Market Maker Targets
How to Use the Market Makers Targets: How do you develop price targets? Many use technical indicators like fib levels or wave patterns but there is a much more accurate and efficient method for doing this. We can use the options market to calculate how much of a move the market maker is pricing into the options. We use this by calculating the measured move target using the at the money straddle

13. Use Straddles to My Advantage
Long Straddle
Trade: Long Call, Long Put, Same Strike
Advantages: Unlimited profit potential
Disadvantages: Expensive premium long
Max Risk: Premium paid
Max Reward: Unlimited
Breakeven: Strike price (+/-) the total purchase price

14. Market Makers Target
How to Use the Market Makers Targets: Once we know the straddle price we can calculate targets Upside target: Straddle price plus strike price Downside target: Strike price minus straddle price In general the short the time to expiration the more accurate these targets are. A trader can use this method in any option product for any catalyst event.

15. Lets Look at an Example in AA:
How to Use the Market Makers Targets: Example: Alcoa (AA) is reporting earnings. The stock is trading around $12.50 The Apr Weekly 12.5 Straddle is trading at $0.70 Upside target: $13.20 Downside Target: $11.80 Using the these targets rather than technically projected targets is much more accurate. Knowing them also helps a trader identify key levels. This is a trick employed by market makers all the time
