One-Week Market Making Interview Study Plan
One-week market making interview study plan for fair value, spread, inventory, quote updates, mock games, and final review.
Candidates with limited time before market-making interviews.
Day 1 diagnose
Run a short market-making mock and label errors by fair value, spread, inventory, updates, arithmetic, and communication.
Days 2 to 3 fundamentals
Drill fair value, bid-ask spread, probability-to-price conversion, and quote arithmetic until the basic loop is automatic.
Concrete example
A daily drill can be 20 binary markets: estimate probability, quote bid and ask, then write why the spread is wide or tight.
Days 4 to 5 interactive games
Practice quote updates after trades, signals, and inventory changes. Focus on speaking the update clearly.
Days 6 to 7 review
Use the error log to pick final drills. Review market-making checklist items rather than starting new topics.
Common mistakes
Candidates often spend the week reading. Market-making prep needs live quoting and update practice.
