Market makers operate swiftly, adjusting their quotes to reflect real-time market dynamics. The time taken for sending quotes and receiving a hit in HFT could be around 1.5 milliseconds, which exemplifies the speed with which these players operate. The actual figures might vary, depending on the sophistication and speed of the underlying infrastructure.

When a quote is hit, the response time isn't instant because of the computational processes required. Market makers must analyse the complexity of their algorithms, prevailing market conditions, and improve their technical framework for better efficiency and reduced latency. Regulatory and operational considerations also play a part in their decision making.

Needing no cooling-off period nor limitations, the speed at which market makers replace their quotes depends on the computational capability of their system. They rapidly adjust their quotes in high-frequency trading. If multiple quotes are hit simultaneously, they reassess their strategies, potentially widening their spreads or dynamically adjusting their pricing to manage their risk exposure.
Don't be fooled into thinking it's all about speed, though. High-frequency trading also necessitates technologically advanced data processing capabilities, refined algorithms, sophisticated risk management models, and constant vigilance of regulatory compliance. Market makers must be continually looking for strategic enhancements in each of these areas to maintain a competative edge.
All things said, this is a fascinating peek into the complex world of HFT and market making. If these concepts intrigue you, perhaps it's worth delving deeper to get a better understanding of what's happening behind the scenes in the world of finance.
