# Maker Protection

### Market Maker Protection (MMP)

*Market Maker Protection (MMP)* protects *Makers* from rapid executions of orders in the market.

*MMP* is triggered when, as a *Maker,* **two of your resting orders are executed upon** within a **one second** rolling window.

When triggered:

* All of the desks' existing Orders, for the product wherein the protection was triggered, are canceled by Paradigm.
* The desk is unable to create additional orders until the protection has been removed.

To remove this protection, users are able to immediately request the \[PATCH] `/v1/{product}/mmp/status/` endpoint. The protection is automatically removed within **10 seconds** of trigger by Paradigm without any necessary interaction by the user.

This feature is enabled for all Paradigm users and **cannot be disabled**. MMP trigger conditions — including execution window, execution limit, volume threshold, and reset interval — can be configured per desk via the [admin dashboard](https://admin.paradigm.trade/derivatives-settings).

This applies only to products a part of Unified Markets, specifically RFQ's & Orderbooks.
