The quote-to-execution ratio measures the proportion of quotes provided by a liquidity provider that ultimately result in a completed trade execution. In RFQ crypto and institutional options trading, this metric serves as a key performance indicator for evaluating the efficacy of a market maker’s pricing and the quality of liquidity offered.
Mechanism
This ratio is calculated by dividing the number of successfully executed trades by the total number of quotes disseminated over a specific period. The mechanism involves tracking all quotes sent in response to RFQs and matching them against subsequent trade confirmations. Factors like quote competitiveness, execution speed, and rejection rates influence this metric.
Methodology
A high quote-to-execution ratio signifies effective pricing, sufficient liquidity, and reliable execution capabilities, enhancing a liquidity provider’s reputation. For institutional clients, this methodology helps in selecting preferred counterparties for crypto options and block trades. It informs smart trading systems about the probability of receiving a fill from various liquidity sources, optimizing order routing decisions.
