All market makers are confronted with the problem of defining profit-taking and stop-out levels. More generally, all execution traders holding a particular position for a client must determine at what levels an order needs to be fulfilled. Those optimal levels can be ascertained by maximising the trader’s Sharpe ratio in the context of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes via Monte Carlo experiments. In this article, Alex Lipton and Marcos Lopez de Prado develop an analytical
