Request for quote (RFQ) and inside markets

摘要

Systems and methods for rule-based bilateral negotiation of quotes in response to request for quotes (RFQ) and inside market inquiries is provided. A trader is provided with a user-interactive trading interface for submitting and receiving an RFQ. The user-interactive trading interface may provide a requesting trader with an opportunity to generate requests or inquires pertaining to a desired instrument in a particular market (e.g., a bond market). The RFQ may be forwarded to a select group of market participants, determined automatically or by the requesting trader. The market participant may respond to the RFQ with a quote via the user-interactive trading interface. A rule-based negotiation session may be initialized upon receiving the quote from the market participant. <IMAGE>
