One Man Picture

Categories: Regulations

A “one man picture” is like a one-man band, but instead of someone being strapped into a bunch of musical instruments, we have someone holding a bid and an offer for the same security. And instead of entertaining people at the park with their rousing melodies, this person puts forth a price quote for that aforementioned security.

The price quote is the part we refer to as a “one man picture,” since it was created by one singular market maker.
