Research update

Does the market-making quote rule survive queue and refresh delay in the September test window?

No for practical execution: the registered zero-delay simulation is positive, while both 250 ms queue scenarios are strongly negative.

In the conservative queue-back model, zero delay gave +36794.77 USD over 20385 simulated fills. At 250 ms, it gave -39705.31 USD over 33658 simulated fills. The front-of-queue model also flips sign. These are model sums with daily inventory resets and no shared capital budget, not account returns.
