# HOW TO START TRADING ON THE OVEX OTC DESK
## The famed OTC Desk processes billions in monthly volume and is testament to the sophistication of our trading products. See the below guide on how to get started.
**STEP 1: Signup**
Get started by simply creating an account on OVEX **[here](https://ovex.com/register)**. To trade volume over our Desk you must first achieve *level 3 *verification status. You can apply for* level 3* verification on your OVEX dashboard. Additional KYC docs are required for organisations wanting to trade on the Desk. Once you have fully KYC'd your account you can request a call-back from an OVEX Desk agent on the portal **[here](https://ovex.com/otc)**. You may be asked for additional documentation dependent on your use case for the Desk.
**STEP 2: Onboard**
Once you have signed up and our compliance team is happy – then the fun starts. You will be assigned a dedicated team of trading experts on an OVEX WhatsApp and/or Telegram group. Here you will raise orders for immediate execution.
**STEP 3: Communicate**
You can trade 24/7 by simply pinging your dedicated OVEX WhatsApp and/or Telegram group with the details of your order.
**It need not be long, you can simply say:**
You: “I would like to buy 200 Bitcoin.”
*Our Trader: “I can sell you 200 BTC at a price of R670 000 ZAR per Bitcoin.”*
**STEP 4: Confirm trade**
You choose whether or not you wish to buy/sell at the price offered. If you agree, the trade is confirmed, and the trader will credit your OVEX account with the specified asset.
**STEP 5: Complete trade**
Once the OVEX OTC team has received authorization to execute the trade you will also receive confirmation of the transaction via email.
**STEP 6: History**
You can then access a full history of every trade made over the Desk on your *OVEX Trade History* dashboard.
