  1. Thank you for this post. I’m constantly finding ways to improve my market making and have been learning about Stoikov’s market making model lately. I’m more of a hobbyist developer but have been researching mean reversion strategies in market making with Bollinger bands and the order size exponentially increases the further the mid deviates from the mean.
