Hit Probability, within a trading or Request for Quote (RFQ) context, quantifies the likelihood that a submitted price quote or order will be successfully executed against prevailing market conditions or a counterparty’s criteria. It measures the effectiveness of a pricing algorithm or trading strategy.
Mechanism
This probability is calculated by assessing various real-time market data points, including bid-ask spreads, order book depth, liquidity across exchanges, and historical execution rates for similar trades. The system compares the proposed quote against these parameters, dynamically determining the chances of acceptance or fulfillment.
Methodology
The strategic use of Hit Probability involves optimizing quoting algorithms to balance aggressive pricing for increased execution likelihood against potential market impact or adverse selection. Traders utilize this metric to refine their RFQ response strategies, adjusting price, size, and timing to improve the frequency of successful trades while managing exposure and slippage in institutional crypto options.
