Quote Amendments refer to modifications made to existing price quotes by market participants, typically liquidity providers or market makers, in response to evolving market conditions or changes in their internal risk assessments. These adjustments update the terms at which an asset or derivative is offered for trade. Their purpose is to maintain competitive and accurate pricing.
Mechanism
When an event such as a significant price movement, a shift in overall market liquidity, or an update to an internal risk model triggers a reassessment, the quoting system generates and transmits a new quote message. This updated message replaces the previously submitted quote, reflecting revised bid and ask prices or altered quantities available for a specific cryptocurrency or options contract.
Methodology
Systems architecture for Request for Quote (RFQ) platforms and crypto options trading prioritizes low-latency quote amendment capabilities. This operational efficiency allows market makers to dynamically adjust their pricing to account for real-time market volatility and manage their exposure effectively. It prevents stale quotes, ensures efficient price discovery, and supports continuous liquidity provision in fast-moving digital asset markets.
Latency differentially impacts trading by requiring rapid new submissions for opportunity capture and swift quote amendments for adverse selection mitigation.
