Definition

Fill % (F)

The cumulative sum of each quotes 's execution quantity relative to its original quote quantity during a single MQP duration. 

Tallies each time a quote's bid or ask trades. 

The Original Booked Quantity of the quote is retained for calculating the fill percentage for all partial trades during the MQP duration.  

Any modifications to quote quantity,  percentage of trades as percentage original quote are retained and modified quote is treated as a new quote for calculations.

Example:

  • A bid-side quote quantity =10 trades as a partially fill for 2 and the Fill % (F) MQP tallies to 20%. 

  • The remaining (resting )bid-side quotes quantity = 8  

  • If the resting bid-side quotes quantity is modified to 20, then  trades as a partially fill for 3, the Fill % (F) MQP tallies  to15%, and the cumulative Fill % will equal 35%

MQP functionality will be triggered after the cumulative Fill % (F) sum value equals or exceeds the Fill % (F) threshold.

  • Resting quotes are cancelled

  • Subsequent quote submission are rejected pending submission of the MQP Reset.

  • Upon reset, quotes are accepted again.



Fill % (F) will default to a null value.  If utilized, the value will default to 90%. Customers can only edit it to a value more than 90%.
