An Indicative Quote is a price quote that is informative only. It is a type of quote provided to a trader from a market maker that may be changed prior to a transaction. Indicative quotes are used in over-the-counter markets and are not binding. This means that the market maker can change the price quoted before any trade is executed.While indicative quotes provide some information about the current market conditions, they should not be relied upon as an accurate representation of what the final price will be. Traders should use other sources of information, such as order books, to get a better sense of where prices are heading.
