OTC are the standard beginning letters for all series. The company code no. is a 4-digit number specified by the OTC Securities Exchange and used in actual trading to represent the company. The 8 modifiers are: OP, HI, LO, CL, VAL, VOL, TRA, and PE.
For example, 4201 is the company code no. for "Shin Tai Industry Co., Ltd." then the retrieval codes of the 8 series for "Shin Tai Industry Co., Ltd." are:
| OTC4201@OP | -- daily opening price
| | OTC4201@HI | -- daily highest price
| | OTC4201@LO | -- daily lowest price
| | OTC4201@CL | -- daily closing price
| | OTC4201@VAL | -- daily trading value
| | OTC4201@VOL | -- daily trading volume
| | OTC4201@TRA | -- daily no. of transactions
| | OTC4201@PE | -- daily PE (Price/Earnings) ratio

Likewise, you can construct retrieval codes for other companies as long as you know the company code no. In Chapter 2, we will have a complete list of all company code no.
