Quote Request (R) Message

Quote Request (R) message

Purpose

Used to request quotes from brokers prior to placing an order.

Note: When a FIX client sends a Market Data Request (V) for a given instrument with SubscriptionRequestType=1 to create a market data subscription, that client is automatically subscribed for RFQ messages for that instrument.

Message Direction

From TT FIX to FIX client only. FIX clients cannot submit Quote Requests (RFQs) via the TT Security Data service.
