Price source matters more than an OTC badge.
This ranking separates real-market symbols, broker-priced OTC instruments, and proprietary synthetic markets. Trading-hour limits remain visible so always-on access is not confused with a market-derived price.
How we rank this category
This ranking compares price source separately from the overall score.
Price source shows whether a broker offers real-market symbols, broker-priced OTC instruments, proprietary synthetic markets, or a mixture. Compare the quote source, timestamp, trading session, and settlement rule before trading.
What to compare
Platform values, product controls, payment rules, and stated conditions are assessed together.
Rows rank higher when the published product setup uses market-reference symbols and clearly separates broker-priced OTC or proprietary synthetic instruments.
A higher position in this category is not a safety, legality, or suitability verdict.
