Auto-Quote System

A computer-based algorithm which automatically generates quotes for exchange-traded or frequently traded over-the-counter derivative instruments based on input from a market data feed. The most common auto-quote systems will price exchange-traded options off a market feed for the underlying based on specific implied volatility relationships. Advanced models use a term structure or skew volatility matrix.
