The Request for Quote (RFQ) panel allows cmdtyView users to view CME Group, KCBT and MGEX listed User Defined Spreads (UDS). A UDS is a multi-legged instrument that is created and quoted on the CME Globex Platform. Market participants define the underlying instruments, ratios, and deltas used in the spread and then submit their UDS to the exchange. If accepted by the exchange, the CME will then create and broadcast that tradable instrument to the market. To insert the RFQ panel to your workspace, click on Options in the main toolbar and then select Request for Quote.
