An acronym for real time quote; a bid and ask price quotation that is streamed or published in the real time- that is with no lag or delay. This quote refers to the actual prices (most recent prices) of tradable stocks and other securities that are reported to in the market on an instant basis. Real time quotes play an important role in live markets and venues where high-frequency trades are executed.

Current real-time quote data include last price, tick indicator, price change, percentage price change, and volume.
