The checkup takes into account the type of the request, the present quote level of the selected instrument available in the Customer’s terminal. After a successful checkup the request will be routed to the server.
3) If the client terminal has an active internet connection with the server at the moment of the request then this request is received by the server and a second checkup on the correctness of the request is carried through in regards to the type of the request and the present quote level of the selected instrument available in the server.

6) Confirmation of execution of Customer’s request by a dealer is sent to the server, is written into a server log and is sent to Customer’s terminal.
