If it weren’t so long ago, you would honestly say this ludicrous {{isdaprov|Market Quotation}} and {{isdaprov|Loss}}, and {{isdaprov|First Method}} and {{isdaprov|Second Method}} confection was designed with the sole purpose of keeping [[negotiator]]s in [[tedious]] employment.
{{means}}
*'''Pricing methodology''': Note that this quote comprises a portfolio of transactions on identical economic terms (including collateralisation), but between the {{isdaprov|Non-affected Party}} and the relevant market maker; i.e. you don't take into account the (almost inevitable) deterioration of the creditworthiness of the {{isdaprov|Affected Party}}.
*'''Where there are fewer than three quotations''': By dint of the definition of {{isdaprov|Settlement Amount}}, if there are fewer that three quotations, or the determining party thinks the value provided by Market Quotation is commercially unrealistic, Market Quotation defaults to {{isdaprov|Loss}}.
*'''Will there ever ''be'' any quotations?''': No, which is why you need to note that the definition of {{isdaprov|Settlement Amount}} defaults to {{isdaprov|Loss}} when, as surely they will, every {{isdaprov|Reference Market-maker}} respectfully declines to take your call.
 
===Relationship to {{csaprov|Exposure}} under the {{csa}}===
Eagle-eyed observers will note that {{isdaprov|Market Quotation}} gets a name-check in the definition of {{csaprov|Exposure}} in the {{1995csa}}. So how does that work, you might ask, where you have a {{2002ma}} which doesn't ''have'' a definition of Market Quotation? Well, the answer lies in the [[2002 ISDA Master Agreement Protocol]]. As long as your counterparty has adopted that, then the provisions are converted over to 2002-speak as it were.
