Can a market order be matched by another market order
In general, no. There are always two prices: a bid and a ask. If you buy at market you are buying against the current ask; if you are selling at market, you are selling against the current bid. There is always at least 1 tick difference between the two, and the market is made against limit orders.
market orders match best price so market order sometimes execute far from where order is entered. for example if the order book is empty on one side and atm one market order is activated then doesn't executed against the other market order coz need to match best price.
