Over the past few months I’ve noticed that a lot of people who handle bigger volumes don’t even bother with regular spot trading anymore and just move straight to OTC. I’m used to doing everything on normal exchanges, so I never really paid attention to that side of the market, but a coworker mentioned he switched because the charts kept jumping the moment he placed larger orders. Now I’m curious what the real reason is. Why do so many big traders prefer OTC instead of the usual spot setup?
