Re: Pennies per trade (none / 1)
How can we tell the difference between profits from market-making and front-loading?

Simple, presuming you meant front-running.  The exchange pays them ~1/4 cent per trade "to provide liquidity."  Subtract that out.  GS should be paying the exchange for the "cover" that this "liquidity provision" service affords, IMO.

AIRC, the quoted figure was 1/4 cent per trade for providing liquidity.
