The over-the-counter (OTC) market is a market in which securities are traded through a network of brokers and dealers rather than on a centralized exchange. OTC stocks often represent ownership of equity in smaller companies that do not meet the requirements for regular listings. The formula provides over ten years of daily historical prices and volumes for more than 10,000 OTC securities.
