# private/get_mmp_config
> Retrieves Market Maker Protection (MMP) configuration for an index. Returns all currently active MMP parameters for the selected index, including the interval, `frozen_time`, quantity/delta/vega limits, and `max_quote_quantity`.
If the `index_name` parameter is not provided, a list of all MMP configurations is returned. An empty list means no MMP configuration exists. This method is useful for verifying your configuration or confirming applied updates.
For Mass Quotes, specify the `mmp_group` parameter to retrieve configuration for a specific MMP group. If no group is provided, returns configuration for regular orders. Set `block_rfq` to `true` to retrieve MMP configuration for Block RFQ (requires `block_rfq:read` scope).
Each entry in the response includes an `id` field (integer) that uniquely identifies the MMP group. This integer ID is the programmatic identifier for the group and can be used to reference it in contexts where the string `mmp_group` name is not accepted. Entries that have no `mmp_group` name in the response correspond to the orders MMP group (the default group).

Retrieves Market Maker Protection (MMP) configuration for an index.
Returns all currently active MMP parameters for the selected index,
including the interval, `frozen_time`, quantity/delta/vega limits, and
`max_quote_quantity`.
If the `index_name` parameter is not provided, a list of all MMP
configurations is returned. An empty list means no MMP configuration
exists. This method is useful for verifying your configuration or
confirming applied updates.
For Mass Quotes, specify the `mmp_group` parameter to retrieve
configuration for a specific MMP group. If no group is provided, returns
configuration for regular orders. Set `block_rfq` to `true` to retrieve
MMP configuration for Block RFQ (requires `block_rfq:read` scope).
Each entry in the response includes an `id` field (integer) that
uniquely identifies the MMP group. This integer ID is the programmatic
identifier for the group and can be used to reference it in contexts
where the string `mmp_group` name is not accepted. Entries that have no
`mmp_group` name in the response correspond to the orders MMP group (the
default group).

Specifies the MMP group for which the configuration is being
retrieved. MMP groups are used for Mass Quotes. If MMP group is not
provided, the method returns the configuration for the MMP settings
for regular orders. The `index_name` must be specified before using
this parameter.
**Note:** Leaving `mmp_group` empty is explicitly allowed and is the
correct way to retrieve configuration for the orders MMP group. It
is not an error or an incomplete request β omitting this field
intentionally targets the default orders MMP group rather than any
named mass quote group.

interval:
type: integer
minimum: 0
maximum: 3600
description: >-
The duration of the monitoring window in seconds. For example,
an interval of 3 implies a 3-second
window.
The interval begins after the
first trade.
If a new trade is executed after the
interval has ended, a new interval
is started, and counters reset.
If a trade occurs
during an already running interval, that
interval continues unaffected.
This
mechanism allows the platform to track activity in short,
rolling windows to identify potentially risky trading
behavior.
If set to 0, MMP is disabled.
Maximum value: 3600 seconds (1 hour).
frozen_time:
type: integer
minimum: 0
maximum: 3600
description: >-
Time in seconds that MMP remains active after being triggered.
Once this frozen period has passed, MMP will automatically
reset, allowing new orders to be submitted.
If you
want to disable automatic reset, set frozen_time
to 0. In that case, a manual reset is required
using the private/reset_mmp method.
Manual reset is also possible during the frozen time
period.
Maximum value: 3600 seconds (1
hour).
id:
type: integer
format: int64
description: >-
Integer identifier for the MMP group (int64). This is the
programmatic identifier for the group. Entries without an
`mmp_group` name correspond to the orders MMP group (the
default group).
mmp_group:
type: string
description: >-
Name of the MMP group. Absent for the orders MMP group (the
default group), which has no string name β its entry is
identified by the `id` field alone.
quantity_limit:
type: number
description: >-
The total traded quantity, measured in units of the base
currency (e.g., BTC in BTC-PERPETUAL), within the
interval.
This count is
direction-agnosticβa buy followed by a sell counts double.
Example: Buy 10 BTC and sell
10 BTC = 20 total quantity.
Applicable to both options and futures.
Maximum 4 decimal places.
delta_limit:
type: number
description: >-
The maximum allowable net transaction delta change during the
interval.
Expressed in units of base
currency.
The delta_limit is treated as
an absolute threshold: e.g., delta_limit: 10 β
MMP is triggered if net transaction delta exceeds
+10 or drops below -10.
Direction matters: buying +5 delta and
selling β5 delta cancels out if within the same
interval.
Note: Note
that we use the net transaction delta instead of delta. Net
Transaction Delta = Delta - Mark Price. In the
rest of this document, "delta" actually refers to net
transaction delta.
Maximum 4 decimal places.
vega_limit:
type: number
description: >-
The maximum change in vega exposure allowed within a given
interval, measured in absolute terms.
Expressed in USD, representing the change in
sensitivity to implied volatility across executed trades.
This parameter is primarily relevant for options
traders managing risk in volatile markets.
Similar to
delta_limit, the vega_limit is
direction-aware and evaluated on a net basis. If the exposure
exceeds the set threshold (positively or negatively), MMP will
be triggered.
Notice: When evaluating
Delta and Vega limits for MMP, Deribit uses the greeks at the
moment of trade execution. The system does not re-evaluate
Delta or Vega using live greeks at the time of MMP checking.
Maximum 4 decimal places.
max_quote_quantity:
type: number
description: >-
Maximum Quote Quantity (MQQ). MQQ is configured per index but
enforced per side, per order book (instrument) β the total
combined size of open MMP orders per side per instrument
cannot exceed MQQ (specified in base currency).
**MQQ
reserves Initial Margin unconditionally.** As soon as MMP
configuration with a non-zero MQQ is active, the platform
reserves Initial Margin equal to `MQQ Γ 3%` β regardless of
whether you have any open positions or open orders. This
reservation is continuous: it applies from the moment the
config is set until it is removed. The reserved margin is
visible in the **Portfolio Margin** section of the platform.
**Releasing MMP-reserved margin.** To free the
reserved margin, remove the MMP configuration entirely by
calling `private/set_mmp_config` with `interval = 0`. Setting
only `max_quote_quantity = 0` without removing the config is
not sufficient β the entire configuration entry must be
deleted.
**Important Notes:**
- **Configured per
index, enforced per instrument:** MQQ is configured at the
index level (an MMP group is linked to an index). However, the
limit is enforced separately per order book (instrument) per
side. "Per order book" means per instrument (not per expiry).
The limit is NOT the sum across all instruments β each
instrument has its own separate MQQ enforcement.
- **MQQ
limits cumulative size, not order count:** For example, with
MQQ of 3 BTC, you can place multiple orders (three orders of 1
BTC each, or one order of 2.5 BTC plus one of 0.5 BTC) as long
as the total size per side per instrument does not exceed 3
BTC
- **MQQ is separate per MMP group:** Each MMP group
has its own independent MQQ configuration. MQQ limits are
enforced separately for each MMP group.
- **MQQ vs
Quantity Limit relationship:** You can set MQQ >
`quantity_limit`. This allows quotes to be larger than the
quantity limit, and enables MMP to trigger on partial fills of
quotes. This decouples the MMP reserved margin from the MMP
quantity limit.
- **Base currency:** MQQ is specified and
enforced in base currency
- **Inverse futures:** Size is
calculated as Amount / Price to convert to base currency
-
**Inverse future spreads:** Size is calculated as Amount /
IndexPrice
- **SM accounts:** MMP orders and quotes on
options and option_combos are not supported for SM accounts
- **Rejections:** MQQ is enforced for **MMP-enabled orders
and quotes**. Quote entries and MMP-enabled orders (i.e.,
orders with `mmp=true`) are rejected if their individual size
is greater than `max_quote_quantity`, or if accepting them
would make the total open MMP size per side per instrument
exceed `max_quote_quantity`. NonβMMP orders are not subject to
MQQ and may be larger than `max_quote_quantity`.
-
**Precision:** All MMP configuration values support maximum 4
decimal places
- **Latency:** There are no latency
benefits from MQQ if you already use mass quotes.
