# Get a backend-computed trade quote

`GET /money/trades/quote`

A WisdomTree-fund quote also carries the express-settlement block for its direction — instant_sell on a SELL, express_buy on a BUY; passing settlement_preference=instant dates settlement_ts at an intraday instant rather than the NAV-strike end of day, but only when that block reports available. Returns a time-bounded quote for a BTC or WisdomTree-fund (WTGXX | FLTTX | WTSIX) trade (BTC via the live custody-venue spot price, WT funds via NAV) with a server-set ExpiresTs. Read-only; no persistence.

## Query parameters
