I am looking for academic articles which model the p&L of market makers. I have read the Ho-Stoll (1984) article. Is there any recent article on this subject?

In fact you have three papers available to go further:
- The Avellaneda-Stoikov one, with proper model and an approximate solution
- The Bayraktar-Ludvkosli one, with a solution for the linear utility function
- The L-Guéant-Fernandez one, with a full solution for a generic utility function
I prefer the last one ;{)}
To read them, you need to know Stochastic Differential Equations (with jumps) and Stochastic Control (especially Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman expressions of Stochastic Control with jumps).

$\begingroup$ Would it possible for you to enlist the topics in quantitative finance that I need to be familiar with to be able to comprehend these papers ? Just to give you my background, I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and masters in data science and statistics. I am somewhat familiar with quantitative finance and algorithmic trading but I am looking to delve deeper into it. Thanks $\endgroup$ May 5 at 21:23
