Retail investors cannot access real-time stock prices for OTC and penny stocks

Individual investors trading over-the-counter (OTC) stocks like OTGLF face severe delays in price quotes, sometimes hours or days behind actual market prices. This information gap causes investors to make trades based on stale data, leading to unexpected slippage, poor execution prices, and potential financial losses. Free and standard brokerage platforms don't prioritize OTC quote updates, leaving retail traders at a significant disadvantage compared to institutional traders with real-time feeds.
