Greetings, guests and regular subscribers of my blog! Where do you think it is better for a recruit soldier to practice combat skills: in a training center or in an attack on an elite enemy regiment? "It's hard in teaching - it's easy in battle," said the brilliant Suvorov.

But there is another opinion... Do not be afraid, we will not go to war. Today our meeting is dedicated to a simple but important topic: how to open a demo account in the stock market.

Many traders (and even experienced specialists, oddly enough) advise beginners to start trading in the stock market almost immediately by opening a real account. They justify their position by the fact that trading with real money disciplines, and the quotes on a demo account seem to be very different from the real market.

Both arguments are at least controversial, and harmful. Not only that, without experience on a demo, it is difficult to work out your trading system, so you still need to learn a lot of nuances related to the trading program, whether it's Quik, popular with brokers in Russia, or Fusion, developed for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

The process of opening a demo account with different brokers is not the same, but it is always much simpler than a real one, which is primarily due to taxes. so-called. forex "kitchens" work without registration in Russian tax authorities, so even a scan of the passport is not always requested.

Another thing is stock market brokers who are tax residents in Russia. Even a demo account with some of them can be opened only by calling the manager after filling out the application. A common problem is a long wait after sending a request to open a demo account. This is especially true for a broker.

It also happens that after the first application for opening a demo, a letter with a login and password does not arrive at all. Then the application has to be repeated, sometimes 2-3 times. However, Finam is not very suitable for the first steps in the stock market for another reason: it is too complicated in structure, site navigation, range of services offered and requires some experience.

If you are interested in the Russian market

Much easier in terms of both navigating the site and signing up for a demo, Broker. You only need to fill out a simple form:

After that on specified number an sms with a confirmation code arrives, and a letter with a login and password for the Quik terminal is sent to the specified e-mail address. You can start trading on a demo account.

It is very important that BCS allows you to trade on a demo using the full version of Quik, while many brokers offer the Quik Junior training program instead. The main (if not the only) difference between the two is the quote feed. Quik Junior simulates stock market trading programmatically, and receives quotes for the futures and currency markets from the training servers of the Moscow Exchange.

It is this circumstance that leads to the misconception that it is impossible to work out a trading system on a demo. There is a way out here and it is very simple: open a demo account with a broker who offers to download a full-featured Quik for him, which displays true real-time quotes.

Sberbank also allows you to open a practice account on your own, which does not require any personal information other than a phone number. However, unlike BCS, only the Quik Junior training platform is available, and you can use the training account for a maximum of a month. Therefore, in terms of useful skills, the opportunities provided by BCS are much more valuable.

By the way, Finam also has its own FinamTrade terminal, with which you can get demo access to the Moscow Exchange, but only for 5 days and only once.

What if it's American?

Well, what can you advise traders who are interested in access to the American stock market? Here it is important to distinguish between trading in instruments that are traded on, and access to these exchanges itself.

In general, very good reviews about the Ukrainian broker SGD Trade. This broker just specializes in providing access to the New York stock exchange(New York Stock Exchange or NYSE). There are 3 trading platforms to choose from: Fusion, ROX and Takion. For beginners, trading on the Fusion platform is usually recommended. Before opening a demo account with this broker, you need to register a personal account. It's very easy to do this:

There is no need to indicate a real phone number and skype: no one will contact you through these contacts. But the e-mail needs a valid one, because. there will be an email with a password for personal account. Your email will be used as your login. From your personal account, you can get a 15-day demo access to one of the two trading terminals.

Unfortunately, the third terminal (and this is Fusion) is available only when opening a real account. At the same time, the arguments in favor of such a short-term demo access are so unusual that they require a separate mention:

Like this! It turns out to hone trading strategy you need immediately on a real account. And the problem is not that the SDG-Trade broker thinks so, but that most stock market brokers seem to think so. How else can you explain that some do not allow you to download a working version of the trading terminal for a demo, others limit the trading period to 30 or 15 days, and still others do not allow you to open a demo account at all?

Brokers that do not impose strict restrictions should still be looked for. By the way, BCS does not indicate anything about the limitations of the functionality of the terminal on a demo account and the time frame. Finam provides a demo version of the ROX terminal, which connects to the ROX Demo America server. Access is not limited by time, but quotes can be very far from real ones.

Afterword

Comparison of the conditions for opening a demo account in the stock market and the Forex market will definitely not be in favor of the former. If on Forex you can use a demo account for an unlimited time and see market quotes, then in the case of the stock market, the user always receives a number of restrictions.

This is all the more strange because terminals for professional trading are much more complicated, and there are much more nuances when concluding transactions. A novice trader is practically not given the opportunity to create and work out his own system. Therefore, educational articles, videos and webinars are very important.

Program Sberbank QUIK allows traders to work with the assets of the Moscow Exchange in real time by placing various types of orders. The platform combines three sections of the MICEX at once, and also allows you to conduct margin trading.

One of the keys (public) the user sends for registration through BCS Online. To connect to the server, the user specifies the path to the key pair in the terminal and enters the login and password for accessing the keys; confirmation of the entry with an SMS code is not required.

Login/password authentication does not require the user to generate keys. The login and access password are issued to the client by the broker (the login is displayed in the "Terminals" section of BCS Online, the temporary password is sent via SMS). To connect to the server, the user must enter the login and password from the terminal, then confirm the entry using an SMS code.

Margin trading in QUIK

To correctly display risk parameters, you first need to set up the Client Portfolio table.

Note: if you downloaded QUIK from the site, then your client portfolio already contains the necessary parameters and you do not need to add them.

You need to add the following parameters:

• portfolio value;
• Beginning margin;
• Min. margin;
• Speed margin;
• Status;
• Requirement;

To do this, right-click on the "Client Portfolio" table, select "Edit Table" and add the required parameters listed above one by one by highlighting the parameter and clicking the "Add" button. After adding the parameters, click "Yes".

Let's consider how the indicators and their values ​​look in the "Client Portfolio" table.

On the this example a client with a standard level of risk is listed. From the "Client Portfolio" table, by double-clicking on it, you can open the "Buy / Sell" table, in which, by setting filters, you can see the established risk rates depending on the risk level of the client and the security.

Risk rates in the "Buy/Sell" table can be displayed both exclusively for available securities, and for all securities available for work with incomplete coverage.

Meaning of fields in tables

At margin trading customers should focus on all of the above indicators.

Margin call is sent to the client (in QUIK, by e-mail and in BCS Online), when:

• The portfolio value is below the initial margin;
• UDS< 1;
• Status = "Requirement".

Forced closing of the client's positions by the broker is carried out when:

• The portfolio value is below the minimum margin;
• UDS< 0;
• Status = "Closing".

Forced closing of positions is carried out in the amount necessary to ensure that the value of the portfolio exceeds the initial margin.

Opening a demo account for the QUIK terminal is very simple. In this article, I will explain how to do this and set up the program to work. I will try to chew everything as much as possible so that it is extremely clear and there are no questions left.

A demo account will give you access to trading on the exchange. With it, you will get the opportunity to trade with absolutely no risk to your funds, because. this will be an emulation of the auction. But, even with emulation, you can familiarize yourself with and use all the features of the QUIK trading terminal. You will have 300 thousand virtual rubles at your disposal. Demo access is provided for 7 calendar days. This time is enough to familiarize yourself with the terminal.

It is IMPORTANT to note that real trading differs from demo trading by the presence of a psychological component. Because in real trading, real money is earned and lost, not virtual money. Therefore, I highly recommend considering a demo account in QUIK, solely as an introduction to the functionality of the terminal, nothing more.

Let's start the process of opening a demo account. First you need to apply. For this .

A page will open in front of you:

On the right, in the form, fill in your data: full name, email, city, phone number and where you learned about the company. All fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.

After entering the data, click on the button at the bottom of the form - " Get a demo account and start trading". A window will appear confirming the registration of a demo account:

You need to wait a bit when the broker generates the keys for the terminal and sends you to the mail specified in the questionnaire along with a link to download the trading terminal.

My letter came quickly, after 5 minutes, but it happens in different ways, so wait.

The broker sends 2 letters:

We are interested in a letter with instructions for further action, here it is:

As you have already noticed, 2 files are attached to the letter:

• pubring.txk
• secring.txk

These are the keys for the trading terminal.

Let's proceed with the installation. You can download QUIK from the link in the email, or from .

We launch the installation file that we just downloaded and proceed to the standard installation procedure. Click next everywhere. You can specify the location where you want to install the program, or leave everything as default.

After installing QUIK, you need to copy the keys that were in the letter from the broker...

... to the folder with the program.

Now let's start the terminal. Windows will appear:

in the main menu of the program select System⇒Settings⇒Basic settings:

In the window that opens, we are interested in the item Program.

Click on the plus and expand the submenu. Select a menu item Encryption, and in the right part of the window, in paragraph Default settings, click on the icon. A window will appear where you need to enter the path to the keys (we copied them to the folder where QUIK was installed). After you write the path to the keys, click OK.

Now you can connect to the terminal. To do this, click on the key icon in the upper left corner. A window will appear:

In this window, you must enter Name and Password, which you received in a letter from the broker when you made a request to open a demo account.

Click Input, a connection will be made to the server, and a terminal will open in front of you with standard settings for trading, which you can customize for yourself as convenient.


That's all, you have created a demo account for trading in the QUIK terminal.

Stay tuned, in the following articles there will be setting up the terminal workspace for convenient work. I'll show you how QUIK is set up for me, and you can set it up for yourself the same way.
