- Grade
- A simplified letter rating that reflects a market maker's overall standing on the leaderboard. Grades are designed to make performance easier to interpret without relying solely on individual numerical scores.
- Composite Score
- The weighted overall score used to rank market makers across the leaderboard. It reflects performance across trading KPIs, trust, coverage and capabilities, uptime, and integration level.
- Trading KPIs
- Measures historical execution quality across 500+ tracked engagements. This includes liquidity depth, trading volume, spread performance, and adherence to agreed-upon trading obligations.
- Trust
- Reflects Forgd's confidence in a market maker's observed performance. This is based on the number of tracked engagements and whether Forgd has identified potential trading abnormalities.
- Coverage & Capabilities
- Evaluates the breadth of a market maker's exchange coverage, ecosystem reach, and broader service offering. This includes centralized and decentralized exchange connectivity, as well as services beyond standard liquidity provision.
- Uptime
- Measures a market maker's consistency in meeting contractual obligations across tracked engagements. This typically includes maintaining required depth, spreads, and availability across supported venues.
- Integration Level
- Reflects the degree of connectivity between the market maker and Forgd's data systems. Higher integration levels provide greater visibility into tracked engagements, RFQ participation, and ongoing performance.
