johntan1979 II: the setting of the market price by a NYSE specialist

Can people actually do THAT???
jonan203 he can if he is a dealer and has inventory of the stock.
fabsan Continuous market: Orders sent to the Exchange are simultaneously reflected on the market. For example, Stock A has a Bid of $10 and an Ask of $10.12. If I place an order to sell at $10.10, at the Exchange the Ask price will go down to $10.10 because I have the lower Ask. This is continuous, the exchange does not hold my order.
fabsan What I said above is also an Auction market by definition, because no matter the quantity I have wanted to sell at $10.10, the new ask quoted will be $10.10.
Call market: Like the name says, a Call market is called by the Exchange or a Dealer (On the OTC) at a specific time. For example in Canada, when the Bank of Canada sells Debt security, he does it on the Open market by calling the participants of the open market at a specific time.
