QUIK is a software package for online exchange trading. With this application, you can receive information from the broker's server about asset quotes, as well as take part in transactions: buy and sell securities, derivatives and currencies, enter and withdraw market, limit orders and stop orders.
How to get started
Trading on the QUIK platform is available only to licensed trading participants, therefore, an individual needs to use a broker server to make transactions. Before starting work, anyone can use a demo version of the program – as a rule, it is available on the intermediary's website.
The application can only be used if it is connected to the Internet.

There are two methods of connecting to the server:
