OTC Pairs = Highest Payouts
OTC (Over-the-Counter) pairs consistently offer Quotex's highest payouts (95-98%). Reasons: Quotex's pricing engine has more control over OTC synthetic prices vs real-asset prices; reduced spread cost for broker means higher payouts for users. OTC pairs trade 24/7 — high payouts available anytime. Trade-off: synthetic pricing less transparent than real markets; occasional synthetic spikes during low-volume periods. Use OTC for highest payouts; be aware of synthetic-pricing dynamics.

Maximum Payout FAQ
Why are OTC payouts higher than real-asset payouts?
Quotex's pricing engine for OTC has more control vs real-market interbank pricing. Lower broker risk on OTC = higher payout offered to users. Trade-off is less transparency in OTC pricing. Trade-off is reasonable for many users.
How do I know current payout before placing trade?
Quotex displays live payout percentage next to each asset on the trading interface. Updates in real-time. Check before placing every trade — payouts fluctuate within sessions.
Does higher payout mean easier to profit?
Mathematically yes — break-even win rate falls as payout rises. At 92% payout vs 80% payout, your required win rate drops from 55.6% to 52.1% (3.5 percentage points easier). Always trade assets at their highest-payout hours when possible.
