Controls and Failure Modes

Status Draft briefPart Market Making

Quoting must remain bounded when data is stale, connectivity fails, volatility jumps, inventory grows, or acknowledgements become uncertain.

Central questions

  • Which conditions withdraw one side or all quotes?
  • What state is trustworthy during a disconnect?
  • How are message rate, exposure, and loss bounded independently?

Planned model

Inject stale feeds, reject storms, cancel delays, volatility shocks, and position-limit breaches into a quoting state machine and observe its safe-state transitions.
