| 4 | Request for quote trading system | A system where a quote or quotes are provided in response to a request for quote submitted by one or more members or participants. The quote is executable exclusively by the requesting member or participant. The requesting member or participant may conclude a transaction by accepting the quote or quotes provided to it on request. | The quotes and the attached volumes from any member or participant which, if accepted, would lead to a transaction under the system's rules.
