Quote sorting
How does Block Trading by OKX determine which quote is the "best quote" to show on the first line for my RFQ on the RFQ Board? The best price, bid and ask, will be sorted to the top, independent of the Maker. This means that the best bid may have been provided by a different Maker than the best ask. For quotes on RFQs where the quote currency of all legs are the same, the best bid is simply the highest value, while the best ask is the lowest.Published on Jun 30, 2022Updated on Sep 10, 202511How do I use a chase order?
