| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--spread N | 2 | Base half-spread in cents |
--min-spread N | 1 | Minimum spread floor (cents) |
--max-spread N | 10 | Maximum spread cap (cents) |

--skew N | 0.5 | Inventory skew factor (0-1) |
--vol-mult N | 10 | Volatility multiplier for spread widening |
--alpha N | 0.3 | EMA alpha for fair value smoothing (0-1) |
--fv-method M | weighted_mid | Fair value method: mid_price, weighted_mid, vwap, ema |
--interval N | 5000 | Requote interval in ms |
--threshold N | 1 | Min price change (cents) to trigger requote |

--max-loss N | 100 | Max loss before auto-halt (USD) |
--max-orders N | 1 | Orders per side (levels) |
--level-spacing N | (=spread) | Cents between price levels |
--level-decay N | 0.5 | Size decay per level (0-1, e.g. 0.5 = each level half of previous) |

Examples
# Start with defaults
/mm start polymarket 0xabc123 98765
# Custom spread and sizing
/mm start polymarket 0xabc123 98765 --spread 3 --size 100 --max-inventory 1000
# Tight spread for liquid market
/mm start polymarket 0xabc123 98765 --spread 1 --min-spread 1 --max-spread 5 --interval 2000
# 3-level quoting: L1=50 shares, L2=25, L3=12 — spaced 2c apart
/mm start polymarket 0xabc123 98765 --max-orders 3 --level-spacing 2 --level-decay 0.5 --size 50
# Check all running MMs
/mm status
# Widen spread on the fly
/mm config polymarket_98765678 --spread 4
# Shut down
/mm stop polymarket_98765678How It Works
- Fair value computed from orderbook (weighted mid, VWAP, or EMA)
- Spread adjusted by recent volatility (wider in volatile markets)
- Skew shifts quotes away from overweight side to manage inventory
- Quotes placed as post-only maker orders (bid and ask)
- Requote cycle: cancel all, recalculate, place new orders
- Auto-halt if realized P&L exceeds max loss threshold
