Curb trading was, in the past, stocks that were traded on the street curb as it was considered not appropriate to trade in the New York Stock Exchange. Later, the American Stock Exchange was formed to include many more securities that could be traded in an “exchange”.
Nowadays, although not actually traded on the street, the term basically refers to any trades that happen outside market regulations, whether over the phone or through computer systems.
