Quote MsgType S refers to a specific message type within the FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol, an industry standard for electronic communication in financial trading, used to transmit quote messages. In crypto institutional options trading, this message type facilitates the standardized communication of price quotes between market participants within an RFQ (Request for Quote) system.
Mechanism
When an institutional client requests a quote for a crypto option, a liquidity provider responds with a “Quote MsgType S” message. This message contains structured data fields specifying the asset, bid/ask prices, quantities, expiration, strike price, and other relevant terms of the offer. This standardized format enables automated processing and rapid price discovery across various trading venues.
Methodology
Utilizing Quote MsgType S establishes a precise and interoperable communication framework essential for efficient institutional crypto options trading. This methodology ensures clear, unambiguous price dissemination, supports high-frequency trading strategies, and enables automated execution systems to accurately parse and react to real-time market data, streamlining the RFQ workflow and reducing operational risks.
The primary FIX messages in an RFQ workflow are Quote Request (R), Quote (S), and Execution Report (8), forming a structured dialogue for private price discovery and trade confirmation.
