Minimum Quotation Size Requirements for OTC Equity Securities (FINRA Rule 6433) – FINRA members acting as market makers by submitting quotations into an inter-dealer quotation system must adhere to the minimum size requirements set by FINRA. For example, all quotations with a price less than or equal to $.50 must have a minimum size of 5,000 shares.
Where Is Resistance Established?
Resistance levels are usually above the current price, but it is not uncommon for a security to trade at or near resistance.
Most investors maintain a "cash" account that requires payment in full for each security purchase. But if you open a "margin" account, you can buy securities by borrowing money from your broker for a portion of the purchase price. For more information about how margin accounts work, read our publication, Margin: Borrowing Money To Pay for Stocks and FINRA's Investor Alert on this subject.
The Random Walk theory is an example of the semi-strong form of market efficiency.

The best way to illustrate the OTC market trading process is to step through a specific example. This example is tailored for individual investors, although many of the same principles apply to institutional investors.
The resistance level of the trading range was well marked by three reaction peaks at 47.5. The support level was not as clearly marked, but appeared to be between 40 and 41.

The beauty of technical analysis lies in its versatility. Because the principles of technical analysis are universally applicable, each of the analysis steps above can be performed using the same theoretical background.
Investors must decide whether price (Limit Order) or timing/immediacy (Market Order) is more important to them.

Broker-dealers usually will first determine if they can or choose to execute the trade internally. Internal executions occur if they can ‘match’ (same prices for a buy and sell order) Limit Orders or if they choose to trade for their own account. If they are trading for their own account, they must give investors their limit order price or the NBBO (National Best Bid or Offer) as defined by an Inter-dealer Quotation Systems (OTC Link/FINRA BB) at that point in time.
Support/Resistance
Simple chart analysis can help identify support and resistance levels. These are usually marked by periods of congestion (trading range) where the prices move within a confined range for an extended period, telling us that the forces of supply and demand are deadlocked.

Be wary of buying stocks on margin. Make sure you understand how a margin account works, and what happens in the worst case scenario before you agree to buy on margin.
Narrow Within the Group
Once the industry group is chosen, an investor would need to narrow the list of companies before proceeding to a more detailed analysis. Investors are usually interested in finding the leaders and the innovators within a group.

OTCQX International – OTCQX offers international companies a visible presence in the U.S. on the premier tier of the OTC market, without the duplicative regulatory burdens of a traditional U.S. exchange listing.
After a support level is broken, it can turn into a resistance level. From the October lows, the stock advanced to the new support-turned-resistance level around 42.5.

Because the September support break forms our first resistance level, we are ready to set up a resistance zone after the November high is formed, probably around early December.
This question must be answered by your broker-dealer. Broker-dealers hold customer orders in their proprietary order books and only they can tell you why your order has not been filled. Possible explanations include: the order may not yet be marketable (at or within the bid/ask spread) or if it is/was marketable, other customer orders at the same price may have been in the order book longer and received execution priority.

Because long-term charts (typically 1-4 years) cover a longer time frame with compressed data, price movements do not appear as extreme and there is often less noise.
This tier indicates companies that are unwilling or unable to provide disclosure to the public markets. Companies in this category do not make current information available via OTC Markets disclosure and news service, or if they do, the available information is older than six months. This category includes defunct companies that have ceased operations as well as 'dark' companies with questionable management and market disclosure practices. Securities of publicly traded companies that are not willing to provide information to investors are considered highly risky.

Only new information will affect the price. Judging from the reaction of many stocks to news events, there seems to be evidence to support this case.

The expansion has been driven by interest rate products, foreign exchange instruments and credit default swaps. The notional outstanding of OTC derivatives markets rose throughout the period and totaled approximately US$601 trillion at December 31, 2010.[5] In the past two decades, the major internationally active financial institutions have significantly increased the share of their earnings from derivatives activities.

Others might use a combination of long-term and short-term charts. Long-term charts are good for analyzing the large picture to get a broad perspective of the historical price action. Once the general picture is analyzed, a daily chart can be used to zoom in on the last few months.

In addition, US companies must be ongoing operations (no shells etc.) and may not be in bankruptcy, while foreign issuers must meet the requirements of qualified Non-US exchanges.[9][14] Additional oversight of OTCQX securities is provided by requiring every issuer to be sponsored by approved third-party investment banks or law firms, called Principal American Liaison (PAL) for non-US issuers and Designated Advisors For Disclosure (DADs) for US issuers.

These participants each perform different functions and each has different constituents. Understanding how they work together and compete against each other to create a more efficient OTC marketplace will help make understanding more complex market concepts easier.
For a candlestick chart, the open, high, low and close are all required.
Broker-dealers cannot use their knowledge of customer orders to provide customers with inferior prices. For example, buying a security for less than a known Limit Order price and then selling the security to the customer at the Limit Order price.

Generally, OTC Markets will remove Caveat Emptor designation once the security meets the qualifications for OTC Pink Current Information or OTCQB and we are satisfied that there is no longer a public interest concern, typically no sooner than 30 days. For information on how to qualify for the OTC Pink Current Information tier, please visit the Upgrade Your OTC Tier page.
This signals that the forces of supply and demand are evenly balanced. When the price breaks out of the trading range, above or below, it signals that a winner has emerged.

OTC Markets cooperates fully with securities regulators and those regulators are continually working to combat fraud; however, it is not possible to eradicate fraud from the markets. Accordingly, you must be very cautious when making a decision to invest in an OTC security.
In Nov/Dec-99, Lucent Technologies (LU)[Lu] formed a trading range that resembled a head and shoulders pattern (red oval). When the stock broke support at 60, there was little or no time to exit.

FINRA halts may be lifted when FINRA determines that the basis for the halt no longer exists or 10 days have past. After the halt ends, market participants may re-enter the stock if the piggyback qualification has not lapsed. If the piggyback qualification has lapsed then market participants may re-enter the stock if they comply with Rule 15c2-11. This rule requires the filing, with FINRA, of a new Form 211 which must include the issuer’s current financial information.
