How to request market maker or liquidity provider to quote
I am trying to trade European countries stock index futures and options. But the volume of the imstruments are very small like no one bid or ask. I wonder how can I request market maker or liquidity provider to quote? I tried to search on the internet but find nothing. The exchange is EURONEXT that they do have market maker plan and related explanation. But didn't mention how exactly a trader can make a request. The broker would be DeGiRo. Thank you very much.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
There are only 9 contracts traded for today on the PSI 20 future september
not exactly a liquid market
The spread is huge : 5240.00 - 5276.00
Unless you have something specific with Portugal, you may want to consider
one of the other EU indexes, like the AEX (amsterdam
or the FDAX with much better liquidity
My suggestion is to reach out to the Exchange itself and ask for the OTC (over the counter) department who can advise you what is the procedure an RFQ (request for quote) for these products.
In the event they can refer you an OTC broker, you could discuss what volumes you are interested in doing and whether they could accommodate you.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,

This also happens in the USA exchanges where hedgers need to buy out of the money Option at large quantities.
The exchange Bid/Ask is way to wide for such quantities, so they resort to a Market Maker for such requests.
However, the transaction goes though the exchange like any other product that you would trade online.
Thanks,
