OTC Option Contract

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

OTC Option Contract. Exotic options traded on the over-the-counter market, where participants can choose the characteristics of the options traded.

The flexibility of these options is attractive to many. With OTC options, both hedgers and speculators can benefit from avoiding the restrictions that normal standardized exchanges place on options. The flexibility allows participants to achieve their desired position more precisely and cost effectively. Review note (13 Jan 2010 or earlier): optional delivery dates where there's a right to change e.g. extend or shorten the delivery period. Part of the terms. For instance time options.
