After connecting to the Sberbank server, you will have to configure the QUIK interface to suit your needs. Here are the key parameters to pay attention to:

1. Working windows and their location

In QUIK you can open several windows at the same time:

  • 📈 Quotes — display of price charts.
  • 📄 Domware —market depth (purchase/sale at prices).
  • 📋 Portfolio —your assets and their current value.
  • 🔧 Trade orders —history and active orders.

To add a new one window, click on the icon + in the upper right corner and select the desired tool.

In the mobile version of QUIK, you can save chart templates and apply them to different instruments - this saves time when analyzing several assets.

3. Hotkeys (yes, on Android!)

Despite the fact that the smartphone does not have a physical keyboard, in QUIK you can assign gestures or virtual buttons for quick actions. For example:

  • 🔘 Double tap on the chart - open the trading window.
  • 🔘 Swipe left/right - switch between timeframes.

Gesture settings are in section Settings → Controls → Gestures.

⚠️ Attention: When actively trading through QUIK on Android, monitor the battery charge. The terminal consumes a lot of resources, especially when several windows are running simultaneously. It is recommended to keep the phone on charge or use power saving mode.

Safety when working with QUIK on Android

Trading through a mobile terminal requires increased attention to security. Here are the key measures to help protect your account:

1. Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Sberbank requires confirmation of logins to QUIK via SMS or push notifications in the application Sberbank Online. Never disable this feature, even if it seems inconvenient. An alternative is to use hardware keys (for example, YubiKey), but their support on Android is limited.

2. Device protection

Make sure your smartphone is protected:

  • 🔒 Password or biometrics (fingerprint/face) to unlock.
  • 🛡️ Antivirus (for example, Kaspersky or Bitdefender).
  • 🚫 Ban on installing applications from unknown sources.

If you lose your phone, immediately block access to QUIK through your Sberbank personal account.

3. QUIK

Criminals often use social engineering to gain access to the trading terminal. Common schemes:

  • 🎭 "Sberbank Technical Support" - calls asking for the code from SMS.
  • 💌 Phishing emails with a link to the "update". QUIK."
  • 📱 Fake applications on Google Play (check the developer carefully!).
Sberbank never asks for passwords or codes by phone/mail. If you have the slightest suspicion, contact official support.

💡

Create a separate Google account without personal data specifically for installing QUIK and other financial applications. This will reduce the risk of information leakage if your main account is hacked.

Typical mistakes of newbies in QUIK on Android

Even experienced traders make mistakes when switching to the mobile version of QUIK. Here are the most common of them and how to avoid them:

1. Ignoring the test mode

QUIK allows you to trade in demo mode (with virtual money). Many beginners skip this stage and go straight to the real deal. The result is errors in orders, incorrect stop losses and losses. Spend at least a week on training before trading real assets.

2. Incorrect chart settings

A common problem is a mismatch between the strategy timeframe. For example:

  • 📉 Trading on 5-minute charts, but the stop loss is set based on day timeframe.
  • 📈 Usage RSI indicator with a period of 14 on tick chart (this is meaningless).

Before you start trading, clearly define which instruments and timeframes you will use.

3. Neglecting stop losses

On a mobile device it is easier to miss the moment to close a transaction. Always set stop losseseven if you are trading “for a short time”. In QUIK you can set trailing stop (moving stop loss), which automatically follows the price.

4. Trading without a stable Internet

QUIK requires a constant connection. If the Internet is lost at the time of sending the order, the transaction may not be executed or executed at an unfavorable price. Use mobile data and Wi-Fi at the same time (if the smartphone supports Dual SIM) or trade in places with good coverage.

What to do if QUIK freezes during trade?

If the application stops responding, do not panic:

1. Close QUIK through the task manager (do not delete!).

2. Restart the application and check active orders in the section Trade → Active orders.

3. If the order is stuck in the "Sending" status, contact Sberbank support service - they can cancel it manually.

Do not open new transactions until you are sure that previous orders are executed or cancelled!
