Market-Making Game Practice
Post a two-sided quote; a counterparty trades against you. The signature quant game.
Free account required to play.
"Make me a market on ..." is the signature trading-interview game, used across trading desks and market makers. Make a Market recreates it: you post a two-sided quote - a bid and an ask - on an uncertain quantity, and a counterparty trades against you.
Quote too wide and nobody trades; quote too tight and a better-informed counterparty picks you off. You learn to set a fair value, choose a defensible spread, and update as information arrives - the exact skills a market-making interview probes.
