medium · Market Microstructure

In the Avellaneda-Stoikov model, if a market maker has a large 'Long' inventory position (q > 0), how will they set their quotes?

  1. Submit a market order to the exchange to liquidate immediately.
  2. Widen the spread while keeping the midpoint constant.
  3. Shift only the 'Ask' price upward to increase profit per sell.
  4. Shift both the bid and ask prices downward (Quote Shading).
