Simple and quick installation Software distributive is very compact - it goes on one-two diskettes and can be received through the Internet. To install the software you should install it on the hard drive of your computer, create access keys and tune up your Internet connection. The access keys are necessary to identify the user and protect the information content. The copy of open (public) key is sent to the administrator at the QUIK server for a new user to be registered. It is an important stage in installation that needs attention. The next step is to tune up the Internet connection. It requires additional adjustments in case access to the Internet is made from a local network via a proxy-server. The detailed data on necessary adjustments can be received from QUIK server administrator.

Reliable protection and confidential access A number of protection measures are used in QUIK to avoid data errors and protect the users rights. Each user has its individual access key by which he/she is identified by the server. During transmission via Internet all data is encrypted and can be deciphered only provided the key is available; this way a complete confidentiality of access is achieved. Keys are stored on a separate disk and protected by a password. Additionally each order can be endorsed by an electronic signature with the help of cryptographic protection system Verba-OW certified by The Federal Agency for Data Protection.

Requirements for communication channel bandwidth Thanks to elaborate technical approach the traffic (the density of data flow) was minimized in QUIK. The min. possible throughput of communication channel used is 2400 b/sec., the recommended - 9600 b/sec. Thus, under a standard Internet-connection one can receive other information besides that of the system, for example, from informational or analytical sites.

Traffic optimization With default settings QUIK receives all accessible information from the server. Quite possibly, such volume can be excessive for slow channels, i.e. it can slow down delivery of necessary data. To optimize traffic in QUIK an adjustment of data flow is introduced with the help of which one can restrict data to some list of securities and a set of necessary parameters.

Software versatility One trader's workplace depending on the rights of the user may be used for different purposes (demo-mode, trading in foreign currency or securities), therefore there is no need to install several copies of the software on one computer.

Instant software version update At each connection the software check for new version to appear on the server. If this is the case software updates the version automatically with confirmation from the user for each module.

Sending protected files The mechanism for automatic software update is also used to obtain private encrypted information through the Internet. Files placed in a personal folder on the server become accessible to the user. Besides personal, there are also corporate (for several users of one company) and general folders, where, for example, special price-lists, reports and other documents accessible only to the broker's customers can be placed.

New data Priority QUIK Internet trading system is optimized for the quickest delivery of quotes from the exchange. The elaborate technical approach allows the system to receive new data during the connection with the server along with the data delayed by the system. Thus, if connection with the server is lost, all data will be restored following the system's restart.

Dynamic data export To analyze the price dynamics in Technical Analysis software you can use an integrated function of dynamic export.

Storing data in text form A lot of important data, such as list of orders and trades, may be saved as a text file and used outside the system for processing as an archive or a database.
