    Once you send the LRFQ, it will now appear in your LRFQ Table. The Status will show "Active". In the rate field a loading animation will appear while the LRFQ receiver responds with a rate.

    2

    If you have received an LRFQ, you will see a "Quote" button. Click that button to provide a rate via the Quote modal.

    3

    You will be prompted to submit a rate and enter notes if you would like.

    4

    Your rate will be valid for 5 minutes.

    5

    If your rate expires and the LRFQ is still Active, receivers can continue to quote rates until the LRFQ status changes to Pending Approval, Filled, Trd Away, Canceled, or Expired.

    6

    You can also cancel your rate, by clicking "Kill"
    next to the rate.

    Agreeing on a Rate

    1

    As each Receiver responds with a rate, you as a Originator, will see the rates aggregated and listed in order of best rate.

    2

    For some rates a yellow circle might be shown. That indicates that the rate provider has added notes together with the rate that will apply if executed.

    3

    The Desk Ticker will be displayed next to each rate.

    4

    The Originator will have "Borrow"/"Lend" buttons to click and execute.

    5

    When Originator clicks on "Borrow"/"Lend" a popup confirmation is shown with all the details and notes if provided.

    6

    Once an "Accept & Borrow"/"Accept & Lend" button is selected, those instructions are executed.
