Measures passive-MM economics on clean ES MBP-10: half-spread earned vs adverse-selection markout at horizons, plus OFI-conditioned selective quoting. Verdict on 2024 ES: adverse selection ~0.4 tick eats ~80% of the 0.5-tick half-spread => naive passive MM is break-even (optimistic, win-every-queue; realistically negative). OFI-conditioned selective quoting shows a consistent edge in Q2 (+$0.5/fill) but not Q1 => promising but unconfirmed; decisive next test is a realistic queue/fill model.
