OTC Currency Quotes on Weekends: Keeping Your Platform Running
Your platform does not have to stop when the trading week ends. Users may still want to explore charts, test strategies or work with currency data on Saturdays, Sundays and market holidays. Yet a feed designed around weekday market activity may provide no new quotes during these periods.

Any continuous interface needs a clear approach to data availability. Repeating the last price keeps a chart visible, but it does not create a developing price series. Generated OTC quotes offer a different option: a separate data source that can support your platform outside regular market hours.
What QUOTC provides
QUOTC generates OTC currency quotes using proprietary discrete computation and delivers structured data through an API. Your application controls how that data is displayed and used. QUOTC supplies the quotes; your existing charting libraries and interface handle the presentation.
Keep the source clear
Generated quotes should be identified as generated data. They are not live exchange prices and should not be presented as evidence of actual market transactions. Clear labelling helps users understand what they are viewing, especially when switching between weekday feeds and weekend data.
Start with your integration
Before production, check how your application handles timestamps, incoming records, connection interruptions and changes between data sources. Confirm the response format against the API documentation rather than building around an illustrative example.
QUOTC offers a free EUR/USD test key for 30 days. Create an account, enter your server IP and use the test period to evaluate your connection. Production access covers 28 currency pairs and requires manual activation.
