Hi,

I never traded OTC stocks in the past and would like to know how I can trade them on-line?

Should be no different than any other stock. Comission fee might be a little higher, and I would highly recommend using limit orders.

Second on the limit order, OTC stocks can fluctuate in price so rapidly you could end up paying more than you bargained for. Most on-line brokers charge a .5% commission fee for OTC orders and they may not take orders for every OTC stock.

Fidelity allows online OTC trades. Fee based on numbers of shares bought or sold

OTC stocks are like growing a puppy pit-bull. Let it get big and strong- take the bone away and run like you never liked it. Feed it and take profits as soon as possible.

Actually most of the broker should allow you to trade OTC stock on-line. But not sure about the pink share. ScotiaiTrade allow online trade for OTC stock, but doesn't allow on-line pink sheet stock trading.
