How Can a Trader Mitigate the Risk of ‘Last Look’ Rejections When Submitting an RFQ?

A trader can mitigate rejection risk by only sending RFQs to providers known for posting firm quotes or those on platforms that prohibit 'last look'. Additionally, requesting smaller, more manageable sizes can reduce the provider's risk exposure and their incentive to reject.

Maintaining a strong, established trading relationship with the counterparty also helps.
