Deposits as a tool for preserving and increasing capital do not always suit the investor. And then it makes sense to turn to the stock exchange in search of alternatives. Newcomers to the exchange are predictably attracted by the purchase of shares - the yield on them can be several times higher than on deposits. Thus, the share price of Sberbank, to the delight of the holders, grew from a level of about 55 rubles in 2015 to 240 rubles in January 2018.
However, in addition to profitability, you need to keep in mind the risks. Shares of even large companies can drop significantly in price, especially during periods financial crises. What the same representatives of the "blue chips" demonstrated in 2012.
A share is a security that is issued (issued) by an enterprise and which gives the owner the right to receive profit from the activity of the issuer. Also, the owner of the share can claim to receive a share of the property of the enterprise in the event of its liquidation (however, only after the company repays other debts).
Buying a share is essentially acquiring a stake in a business. And the more successful the company is doing, the better for the investor as the owner of its part.
Charts and stock quotes on the Moscow Exchange
The Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange operates on Russian market since 1992. Today, trading volumes on the Moscow Exchange amount to billions of dollars. Hundreds of companies trade shares here, including domestic giants Rostelecom, Lukoil, Gazprom.
Today, everyone can invest in the stock and foreign exchange market, subject to the necessary conditions (in particular, by concluding an agreement with a broker).
After the decision to invest in stocks has already been made, the investor will be interested in the stock price chart, real-time quotes and market analysis. The data obtained allows us to make a forecast of price behavior, and therefore choose a profitable financial strategy.
Working with stocks requires knowledge of real-time quotes. This is the necessary data for analytical work, which should always be done before taking any action on the exchange. Stock quotes and their analysis is what is needed to conclude a profitable deal.
Market research can be carried out using price charting or fundamental analysis methods, which involves studying the financial statements of the issuing company.
Algorithm of actions in the stock market
The movement of shares takes place on the stock exchange, so to buy them you need to conclude an agreement with an intermediary, open a brokerage account and replenish it. Then you will need to select software, for example, QUIK and MetaTrader 5. After that, you can become the owner of the shares by making a few mouse clicks in the program.
There are many opinions on how much of an investment portfolio should be stocks. Usually they talk about a share of 25-30%.
Types of shares and dividend policy
Shares can be ordinary and preferred. The former entitle the holders of large blocks of shares to participate in the management of the company. Holders of preferred shares (from the English preference) usually do not participate in the management of the enterprise, but they are entitled to higher dividends than the owners ordinary shares.
Each issuing company decides on the policy of paying dividends, their size and frequency of payments. So, for example, dividends from Gazprom can be 17.5% to 35% net profit issuer. The amount of dividends is approved at the meeting of shareholders, but subject to the wishes of the board of directors.
It must be borne in mind that the company is not obliged to pay dividends to owners of ordinary shares, but can direct profits to business development. This often happens with shares of young companies that seem to be actively growing, but shareholders may not receive dividends at the end of the year.
From this we can conclude: when buying shares of stable companies, "blue chips", you can hope for a stable income in the form of dividends, while in the case of young and growing enterprises, an investor can earn on the growth in the value of the securities themselves and their subsequent sale.
But that's not all. You can make a profit even if the stock price falls by opening shorts - short positions. The essence of the method is that an investor takes shares at a percentage from a broker, sells them while the price is high, waits for a decrease in value, and then buys back cheaper. The method is not the easiest and most reliable, so it is better for beginners not to take risks when opening short positions.
How to choose stocks to buy
When choosing stocks, you need to consider their liquidity. To do this, the investor needs to follow the values of the indices of the Moscow Exchange (MICEX) and RTS - the main indicators of the Russian stock market. The MICEX index is reviewed quarterly and includes the top 50 this moment liquid shares of large companies from the main sectors of the economy. Nobody forbids buying shares of small or unknown companies, but you need to understand that such investments have an increased risk.
You can also invest in domestic companies, for example, using the FXRL ETF fund - a local exchange-traded fund for the RTS index. Technically, buying and selling it is no different from buying stocks or bonds. All operations are also carried out through a broker.
FXRL is a portfolio of 30 of the most liquid securities Russian companies part of which the investor can purchase. The return on this portfolio corresponds to the growth of the index, which is usually quite profitable. And the holder eventually becomes the owner of a balanced and diversified portfolio of shares of Russian "blue chips". Moreover, the purchase of all the assets included in the index separately would require large investments of funds, time and would increase the number of transactions.
Those who are just starting to get acquainted with all the intricacies of the stock market are recommended to watch the behavior of the largest Russian companies on the market for a while, the dynamics of changes in the value of securities, study the business performance of issuers, their dividend policy, and only then choose shares for purchase.

The Moscow Exchange, as well as other exchanges and the Forex interbank market, broadcast quotes on weekdays on business days; trading is not held on Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, these days the charts are static and reflect the state of the market at the close on Friday.
If the charts are not displayed at all or errors appear, make sure that you have Java Script and Flash technologies enabled in your browser. If that's okay, try refreshing the page a few times.

In world practice, the most common type of displaying stock information on charts is considered to be Japanese candlesticks. The advantage of this type is that the chart displays maximum information about the price behavior in the specified period of time (time interval). To build a candlestick, four price values are taken - the opening price, the price high, the price low, the closing price. The candlestick body (rectangle) is built as follows: the opening price is a horizontal dash, the closing price is also a horizontal dash, but depending on whether the closing price is lower or higher, the candlestick body starts to be drawn and if the quote goes down, the candlestick is filled with red if the quotes on the exchange are growing, the candle becomes green.
A very important point in Japanese candlesticks is information about the highs and lows (price bursts) that “tails” leave on the candle, or they are also called “candle shadows”. These shadows show what value the quote reached in the selected period of time, but by the close of the candle the quote rolled back and on the chart we only draw a “shadow” in the form of a vertical line.
Thus, Japanese candlesticks on stock charts allow you to clearly see the direction of movement of quotes and their highs and lows, which is impossible to see on a regular line chart, which is built on only one point - the closing price.
The dollar exchange rate, as well as quotes for Brent oil, other currencies and financial instruments- very often differ on different sites, there are several reasons for this. First of all, you need to understand on which site the dollar exchange rate is broadcast online. For example, very often, quotes on websites are broadcast with a delay of 15 minutes - this is one of the main reasons why quotes may not match the values on our website.
It is also important to understand from which source the data is being broadcast. For example, on our website you can see the dollar exchange rate online 24 hours a day, even at a time when trading on the MICEX is not conducted. This is due to the fact that the page displays the weighted average dollar rate from the interbank foreign exchange market, which operates around the clock and is not an exchange market. When currency trading on the MICEX begins, the quotes on Forex and on the Moscow Exchange become almost identical, due to the work of algorithms and arbitrage strategies of traders that extinguish inefficiencies in the market and quotes on Forex and on the MICEX take identical values. You can observe this if you look at currency trading on the spot market and on futures, the charts will be the same, there will only be a difference in quotes, due to the specifics of the futures contract.
There is another important point that explains why quotes can vary significantly on Brent oil and other futures. The fact is that futures are traded in series that differ in delivery date, for example, futures with delivery in December, March, June and September can be traded at the same time, while their quotes will have different values, since they reflect price expectations in different calendar periods. . It follows that if it is now December and the date is approaching the expiration of the December futures contract for oil, then on one site you can see the price of $70 per barrel, and on the other $72, because the first site quotes the current old contract, and the other site updated the contract and already shows the March futures.
So, let's sum up. Quotes may differ on different sites for several reasons: the broadcast is delayed, different data sources, different futures contracts, technical failures. As for the quotes of currency pairs in the interbank market, it is worth remembering that the forex market is not centralized and is not regulated by the exchange, quotes are formed by banks and liquidity providers independently, using different sources and filtering systems, so forex quotes obviously cannot be the same in different markets. sources, unlike exchange-traded instruments, the correctness of which can always be checked on the official websites of exchanges where a particular exchange-traded financial instrument is traded.
Dollar exchange rate online
Instrument ticker on USDRUB charts. To understand the formation of the dollar exchange rate online, you need to familiarize yourself with the following definitions. There are two main instruments traded on the Moscow Stock Exchange in the currency section of the MICEX. USDRUB_TOD is an instrument that is traded from 10:00 to 17:15 (Moscow time), when buying and selling which, the purchase and sale of funds in US dollars in lots for Russian rubles is carried out during trading in US dollars for Russian rubles with a maturity date on the day of the auction. The second instrument is USDRUB_TOM - the trading time ticker, which is from 10:00 to 23:50 (Moscow time), when buying and selling which, buying and selling funds in US dollars in lots for Russian rubles during trading in US dollars for Russian rubles with a due date on the first business day in the country where the settlement bank is located and in Russian Federation following the trading day. Thus, at exchange trading in Russia, the dollar exchange rate turns into these two instruments.Exchange rate for today January 31, 2020 is updated daily on the working days of the Moscow Exchange and is published, among other things, on our website, on this page. A fixed dollar exchange rate from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation is most often needed by companies that make settlements in foreign currency, ordinary individuals and private traders are more interested in stock prices. The fact is that when opening a brokerage account, the investor gets direct access to trading in the currency section, where he gets the opportunity to make purchase / sale transactions not at the set price of the Central Bank, but at the current stock quotes, which gives a number of advantages for making money on the exchange.
After the close of the exchange, trading continues on the interbank forex market, trading takes place on the USD RUB currency pair around the clock, this allows you to generate a stream of quotations in real time and provide page visitors with the dollar rate online 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday. During the opening of trading on the MICEX, traders in banks begin to conduct transactions already on the currency section of the exchange from 10:00 to 23:50 (Moscow time), at this time the quotes on the charts are the most accurate due to high liquidity and the work of algorithmic strategies. However, in Asian trading session traders begin to trade USD RUB and watching the numbers before the opening of the MICEX, it is possible with sufficient high proportion the probability of predicting the opening levels of trading on the Moscow Exchange. Also, using the dollar exchange rate in real time, you can independently calculate the exchange rate of the Central Bank, which is calculated by the price at exchange currency trading at 11:30 Moscow time.
The events taking place in the foreign exchange market in December 2014, when the dollar rate rose rapidly to a historical maximum, at the moment reaching the level of 79 rubles, attracted the attention of citizens who had not previously been interested in trading on the stock exchange. Brokerage companies working with the Moscow Exchange, as well as forex dealers, began to actively offer services to the public in opening accounts for independent trading on the stock exchange. In 2015, exchange rates were traded in a wide range from 49 to 70 rubles, the last trading day of the year closed at the historical maximum of both the fixed dollar exchange rate of the Central Bank and the non-exchange market, the dollar reached 75 rubles, and the euro exchange rate 80 rubles. The first full day of 2016, January 11, was also remembered by traders as a day of new highs in the foreign exchange market and a collapse in stock market, exchange rates reached 76 and 83 rubles, respectively, the MICEX index at the opening was losing more than 3%, but by the end of the trading session, the decline decreased and remained at the level of 2.5%.
Euro exchange rate online real-time chart
Instrument ticker on EURRUB charts. The euro is the legal tender of the EU member states, and is also in circulation in another 9 European countries, which are not members of the European Union. Thus, about this money, it can be argued that it is the same for the whole of Europe. It is a fairly young currency, but since 2006 it has been surpassing the dollar in value. The ECB manages the currency central bank Europe. The ESCB, the system of European central banks, has similar rights. The system is central banks EU countries. There are not significant but important differences between them in that the issue of coins and banknotes is handled by the ESCB, and financial policy determined by the ECB.To see the euro exchange rate online on Forex on the Internet, you can use various sites.

As with any self-respecting resource, there are charts of course changes here.
Oil rate online in real time
Instrument ticker on UKOIL charts. The price of oil can be used to determine trends in the mood of investors in the commodity market, in turn, the price of oil affects the exchange rates, especially those countries that produce mainly raw materials, and not finished products, however, this is not always the case. For example, the Russian ruble was strengthening in March 2015, although Brent oil prices were falling during this period. The online oil rate allows you to understand the situation on the market, predict further events, since in modern realities everyone is interested in how much oil costs at the moment and what its value will be in the future.Oil production. Russian oil Brent grade is considered to be of lower quality compared to American WTI oil, it is distinguished by its high density and high sulfur content in percentage. Currently, oil is sold on the basis of futures contracts, their introduction was initially met with rejection, but when sellers and buyers felt all the advantages of this system, this system gained sympathy from many manufacturing companies. After the introduction of futures contracts, the pricing of oil went out of the hands of OPEC (the organization of the countries-exporters of oil), which had a monopoly on this right until the mid-eighties of the last century.
Pricing. Many factors influence the change in oil prices. The most important, as in the case of any product, is the ratio of supply and demand, but everything is not limited to this. The price of oil is also changing due to investor sentiment. Of the most influential reasons for changing prices, one can single out the growth of the global economy and geopolitical risks, but the online oil rate can be influenced by world oil reserves, weather on the territory of fields, changes in exchange rates (the impact is also in the opposite direction), the discovery of new sources of production, the influence of OPEC .
Oil rate online. Changes in oil prices in real time can be tracked on many resources, a complete picture with many charts can be given by the site of the forex exchange. Here you can follow the dynamics of price changes, forecasts for the near future, and also draw conclusions about what awaits tomorrow.
Dollar index online
On our real-time chart, the dollar index is broadcast under the ticker USDOLLAR, this financial instrument is traded on the international currency exchange and is the equivalent of the DXY stock index. As a rule, stock quotes are publicly broadcast with a delay of 10-15 minutes, therefore, for your convenience, we have chosen the USDOLLAR streaming chart, which is completely identical to the dollar stock index and has only a difference in points. The dollar index allows you to visually observe the behavior of the US currency against all major currency pairs on one chart, which can undoubtedly have a positive effect on your trading in the USDRUB pair.Instrument ticker on DXY charts. Any market index used in the stock, derivatives or other securities markets should be understood as a price averaging tool for all traded instruments. The presence of an index allows you to determine the state of the market trend at a given point in time in order to make a decision on transactions for individual assets. Therefore, such an index serves as a valuable predictive trading tool. For the Forex market in 1973, when exchange rates were floating relative to US dollar and the rate of gold prices after the collapse of the Breton Woods system, the USDX (Unated States Dollar indeX) dollar index, also denoted by the DXY ticker, was developed. From now on, for the entire period of trading in the forex market from Monday to Friday, a continuous round-the-clock calculation of DXY is performed based on data on the exchange rates of the Forex market.
The dollar index is usually calculated as a weighted geometric moving average of the rates of the single European currency - the euro and monetary units Canada, Great Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Sweden against the US dollar. USDX predictive value as analytical tool, allowing to determine the total movement of the Forex market is unusually high and should be the result of a synthesis of fundamental and technical approaches to the analysis of the market situation. The use of the USDX index as a predictive tool for analyzing the Forex exchange rate is a synthetic combination of technical and fundamental analysis. The fundamental component of the method of using USDX as an analytical tool is to determine the "absolute" price of the dollar in terms of its relation to other currencies. The technical side of the issue is that graphically the dollar index is a curve to which all known methods of technical analysis are fully applicable. The DXY index, therefore, is an average indicator of the general market movement, the more common name of which is the term "trend". Then the currencies should move in line with this trend movement and, therefore, the dollar index should rightfully be considered a trend indicator. Let's explain this with the example of two European currencies - Swiss franc and euro.
Practical use of USDX. Every practicing trader knows about the existence of a correlation between the rates of individual currencies, which can be both direct and reverse. With a direct correlation, exchange rates move in the same direction, with a reverse one, in the opposite way. The euro and the Swiss franc are in a state of inverse correlation, and with the growth of the euro against the US dollar, the rate of the Swiss franc, on the contrary, decreases. The exchange rate of the dollar as a whole, shown by its index, in this case shows a downward, "bearish" trend. When the US dollar appreciates, everything happens exactly the opposite.
Another side of the use of USDX in practice is its use as an independent trading instrument– futures on this index. At the same time, the ICE exchange (short for Intercontinental Exchange), located in Atlanta, differs in the maximum volume of trades for the DXY instrument. In conclusion, we can give an example of another dollar index that exists along with the USDX. Such an index is TWDI, also called a trade-weighted index, which is calculated by the US Federal Reserve. Its difference from DXY is based on the fact that the exchange rate of the US currency is calculated in relation to a wider currency basket consisting of the national currencies of the US trading partners. However, due to the fact that the composition of this basket of currencies is not constant, then the TWDI index itself is a variable value and, for this reason, cannot serve as a technical analysis tool.
Gold rate online
Instrument ticker on XAUUSD charts. Purchasing precious metals is a great way to save and increase your wealth. At the moment, the dollar has reached its highest level in the last quarter of a century, but still continues to grow. The online gold rate does not undergo major changes, there are no jumps in it, which means that the danger of all kinds of risks when investing is significantly reduced. XAUUSD price quotes are stable and predictable, which predisposes to long-term investments in order to save and increase their resources.Factors affecting the course. Although the price of gold is stable, and shows a steady growth, but still there are small roughnesses, because the market cannot exist without risks, but they are so small compared to other rates that they can be easily neglected. Gold prices are affected by changes in global economic growth, as well as changes in investor sentiment. You can track the rate of gold online on various resources, if you are a forex player, you can easily follow the rate thanks to the numerous statistical calculations provided by the exchange. Due to the stability of gold prices, quotes are easily predicted for several days, and sometimes even weeks ahead.
The feasibility of investment. As mentioned above more than once, oil prices are stable, so investing in this precious metal is relatively safe and most appropriate, especially if you are looking for material for long term investment. Gold is of little interest to traders and speculators, because speculative tactics and strategies do not work here because of the high rate stability. The yellow metal prefers a conservative approach, only in this case you can get a benefit, even if it is not as big as with an active game in the foreign exchange market, but stable, it is unlikely that you will lose your savings when investing in gold - you need to try very hard for this. Investing in gold guarantees that you will stand your ground in any case, since the price of gold is one of the few stable things in this unstable world.
The day of many Russians begins and ends with the search for information about current exchange rate currencies. Its value affects our financial opportunities. It affects the cost of imported goods and medicines, the cost of foreign travel, the cost of foreign cars, and much more. The formation of the rate occurs as a result of trading on currency exchanges. On them, money plays the role of a commodity that is bought and sold. Demand and supply form the value of currencies in relation to each other. It was she who received the name of the exchange rate. This value is not constant. It changes its value throughout the entire trading session.
Until the 30s of the last century, the exchange rate of national currencies depended on the gold reserves of states. Each monetary unit corresponded to a certain gold equivalent. This approach to evaluation national currency changed with the introduction of the gold-currency system. Gold was replaced by a reserve currency, in the role of which the US dollar was chosen by the financiers. The ratio of the value of national monetary units to the dollar has become a fundamental factor in determining the exchange rate of national currencies.
Foreign exchange interventions of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in the foreign exchange market
Issues related to currency regulation are under the jurisdiction of the Central Bank. He chooses the option of establishing the exchange rate of the national currency, which can be fixed or "floating". The first is established officially. It means how much the state is willing to pay for a particular national currency of other countries. This rate is taken into account when concluding international treaties.To maintain a fixed exchange rate, the Central Bank has to maintain constant trading operations buying or selling currency within their reserves. This regulation of the exchange rate is called motto policy. "Floating" exchange rate involves its regulation by exchange trading. Absolutely free market formation of the exchange rate in practice does not exist. The Central Bank always keeps abreast of fluctuations exchange rates and by its intervention tries to keep them within a certain corridor.
As currency regulation methods such as discount policy, devaluation, currency dumping or revaluation are used. The essence of the discount policy is to change the discount rate, which affects the inflow or outflow of capital from the country. Raise discount rate in cases where they want to strengthen the national currency and ensure its growth.
Every year, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation develops a strategy for its monetary policy, which determines the form and methods of foreign exchange regulation. It takes into account the state of the domestic economy and the processes taking place in the global financial system. In 2016, the Central Bank plans to raise the discount rate and keep inflation at 4%. The reduction in the outflow of capital from the country and a decrease in demand for the currency can slow down the rate of the ruble's fall. Many international analysts predict the beginning of an increase in oil prices in 2016. This may have a serious impact on the strengthening of the ruble exchange rate.
The impact of the dollar on the Russian economy
Settlements under international agreements are carried out in foreign currency. About 53% of the foreign trade turnover is accounted for by settlements with the EU countries. This defines the need Russian economy In Euro. Together with the US dollar, the euro is the second reserve currency. The tangible impact of the dollar on the Russian economy is associated with oil prices, which are pegged to this currency. The state of the Russian economy largely depends on fluctuations in the exchange rate of these two major currencies.The low exchange rate of the dollar against the ruble reduces budget revenues and the competitiveness of Russian producers' products. The depreciation of the ruble stimulates domestic producers. Prices for imported goods and raw materials are rising and they are becoming less affordable for buyers and producers.
The negative consequence of the depreciation of the domestic currency is the inevitable rise in inflation. It is associated not only with an increase in the price of imported goods, but also with other factors. In the composition of many domestic goods there is an import component. It can be raw materials, materials, components or packaging. They contribute their percentage of appreciation to the price of the goods. Domestic manufacturers and retailers are also taking advantage of the moment. With the growth of the dollar, they seek to raise the prices of their products to the level of imported goods and receive additional income.
The impact of Brent oil prices on the ruble exchange rate and the Russian economy
The exchange rate of the Russian currency has a significant dependence on the price of oil. Profit from the sale of oil and gas is almost half of the country's budget and a third of GDP. The fall in the price of oil leads to a decrease in the revenue side of the budget. Weak ruble allows them to compensate for their losses when the price of oil falls. When converting dollar revenues, they receive, with a fall in the domestic currency, the same income in ruble terms as with a higher price and a low dollar rate.By lowering the exchange rate of the national currency when the price of oil falls, the state seeks to "get" the missing ruble budget revenues. The instability and unpredictability of oil prices makes it impossible to make long-term forecasts of the ruble exchange rate and implement serious programs for the development of the country's economy. Since 2016, the Government has switched to annual budget planning.
Many economic experts believe that a serious decline in oil prices could lead to a collapse financial system. Not all resource-based economies, whose budget was filled with proceeds from the sale of oil, will be able to survive the protracted oil crisis. Russia is facing difficult times. The only way to stabilize the domestic economy can be its structural changes. It is extremely difficult to carry them out in a short time without long-term, cheap investments. Time will show whether Russia will cope with the challenges of global crises.
It doesn't matter if you own shares or are just about to buy them - information on quotes allows you to evaluate the cost of your acquisition and choose the right moment to buy or sell.
At the same time, official sources, such as the exchange website, which provide data with a delay of 15 minutes, are not suitable for everyone. We will figure out how to receive quotes from the MICEX online, what options exist, how much it costs and how much labor it requires.
Why you need real-time quotes
One of the main postulates of technical analysis is the assertion that the current price of an asset includes both an assessment of its current value and all possible positive and negative changes in the future. The equilibrium price of the current moment is the result of a superposition of the opinions of all analytical and financial institutions on the value of an asset.
From this point of view, any change in the price of a stock outside the established range of volatility indicates a positive or negative change that has occurred in a company, industry, or even a country. Even experienced analysts cannot always explain the very reason for the change in value; often the general public learns about the reasons for the rise or fall in the price of shares when the market has already begun to correct after a strong movement.
Important! Having up-to-date information about the change in the price of his asset, the investor can make a timely decision on the transaction.
By receiving stock quotes on the MICEX in real time, you can significantly limit losses when the stock price falls, as well as make a profitable deal by buying a growing asset at the beginning of its movement.
The issue of efficiency is in the first place in all scalping strategies, as well as when using robotic trading algorithms, which are used by professionals, both institutional and private traders.
For the competent use of the information received, considerable experience and discipline are needed. Otherwise, even the flow of real-time trading information will not be interpreted correctly, or will not lead to a transaction for psychological reasons.
