Like any trading strategy, market making includes risk. One of the primary risks is inventory risk, the risk of negative changes in inventory value as a result of market making. For instance, if prices drop significantly in a short time period and a market maker accumulates a large position in the asset due to continual fills of their market maker's buy orders, their overall inventory value may be lower.
While the open source Hummingbot client includes features that help users better manage inventory risk and other risks, users are solely responsible for bearing these risks when using the software.
