Quote hit rate is a performance metric in Request for Quote (RFQ) trading systems, particularly prevalent in institutional crypto markets. It measures the frequency at which a market maker’s submitted price quotes result in executed trades. This metric quantifies the effectiveness of a market maker’s pricing strategy and their ability to attract order flow, indicating how competitive and accurate their quotes are relative to market demand.
Mechanism
The mechanism for calculating quote hit rate involves tracking all quotes issued by a market maker and comparing them against the number of those quotes that lead to a confirmed trade within the quote’s validity period. A high hit rate suggests that the market maker’s prices are consistently attractive to liquidity takers, while a low rate indicates potential issues with pricing, latency, or liquidity management. This provides a direct measure of market maker efficacy.
Methodology
Improving quote hit rate requires a systems architecture that supports real-time pricing adjustments and rapid quote dissemination. Methodologies include dynamic spread optimization algorithms that adjust bid-ask prices based on current market volatility, order book depth, and inventory risk. Post-trade analysis of execution data provides feedback on pricing efficacy, enabling market makers to refine their quoting strategies and optimize their competitive positioning in the RFQ crypto environment.
Superior quote hit rates in digital asset options stem from meticulously engineered low-latency infrastructure combined with dynamically adaptive pricing algorithms.
