OTC trading at Pocket Option. How to trade during the weekend?

OTC trading is translated to trading over-the-counter. Traditionally, it meant trading in the markets where it was possible to sell or buy the shares of the firms that had controversial fame or did not publish their profits. But recently, OTC trading has expanded significantly. For example, a new blockchain type has emerged. Moreover, it becomes feasible to trade classic instruments as OTC.

Introduction to OTC trading

The market where you can trade over-the-counter is a decentralised system of the institutions such as traders, brokers, liquidity providers or market makers that opens the transactions constantly including during weekends.

There are fewer participants in the OTC markets so the prices are more dynamic. They can be different in comparison to market prices.

Trading OTC is buying and selling the assets beyond usual platforms and trading hours.
