Efficient trading organization

You can work simultaneously with windows from different exchanges and multiple ATAS charts. No chaos in the workspace – Workspaces and Layouts will enable you to keep things in perfect order and quickly switch between instruments.

Keep respective charts, Time & Sales and order books in separate layouts. You can quickly switch between the layouts without waiting for the data to load from history.

Universal profile

Market Profile is a unique way of organizing market data that reveals trends and price ranges. It shows where market participants have “agreed” on a fair price and where they have not, where an asset may be undervalued or overvalued.

Market Profile uses TPO Charts to display this data. Each TPO block represents the price and time when an asset was traded. Each time the price reaches a new level within the current period, a new TPO block is added.

Volume Profile is a more advanced tool. It shows the volume traded at specific price levels, giving traders insights into when significant volume occurred and at what prices.

Market Profile & TPO

Drawing Objects

  • 20+ classic drawing objects: trend lines, horizontal lines, Fibonacci, channels, and more.
  • Graphical tools for advanced analysis: Anchored VWAP, Dynamic POC, CVD Correlation, Market Profile and TPO, Long/Short Position.
  • Global Objects with the ability to add figures in a single click and manage them on all charts with the same instrument.

Volume Analysis Indicators

Frames, charts and convenient organization of workspace

Indicators from the ATAS arsenal are reliable assistants for achieving success in the competitive exchange environment. Dozens of indicators are split into categories:

  • BidAsk, Delta and Volume – for analyzing vertical volumes.
  • Clusters, Profiles and Levels – for analyzing profiles (horizontal levels).
  • Commitments of Traders – for analyzing COT reports.
  • Order Flow – for working with the flow of executed trades.
  • Technical – classical technical analysis indicators.
  • Other.

The list of available indicators is constantly enhanced, and their functionality is improved with each update.

Cluster Statistics

Receive comprehensive information about the structure of vertical volumes for each bar.

Big Trades

All big trades are clearly visible due to the wide indicator’s functionality.

Volume

The volume histogram shows the activity of trade execution for every period.

Cluster Search

Analyze cluster data with a flexible filter system to identify breakouts/pullbacks, volume accumulation/distribution, and support/resistance level confirmations.

Market Profile & TPO

Use this powerful tool to build Volume and TPO profiles for specified periods, identifying value areas, single prints, initial balances, and much more.

DOM Levels и DOM Trader

Use effective scalping tools to identify liquid support and resistance levels. The heat map built into the indicators is created for visual analysis of price interaction with the levels of large orders in the exchange stack.

Scalping DOM

Dynamic Levels

Dynamic Levels show the changes in Volume POC and Value Area over time.

Track how volumes accumulate and how the value area shifts over any period.

Maximum Levels

Maximum Levels display the current day’s, week’s, month’s, and contract’s Point of Control (POC) as horizontal lines.

Tape Patterns

Process and filter raw order flows to identify patterns, algorithmic footprints, and trade chains based on various criteria.

Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)

Analyze accumulated delta over a specific period. Unlike classic delta, which shows the difference between buys and sells for each bar, CVD reveals the overall dynamics of the buy and sell balance over the chosen period.

CVD pro / Market Power

Analyze the trading activity of traders dealing with specific volumes using the advanced cumulative delta indicator.

Monitor the correlation (or lack thereof) between the direction of trades of certain sizes and the price movements.

Speed of Tape

Analyze the intensity of trades on the exchange to find support/resistance points. This indicator highlights bars with high trade speed.

Liquidity and Order Flow Analysis

Algorithm of trade aggregation is a unique development of the ATAS team. You can see real big trades rather than a series of small transactions that come from the exchange.

Thus, the Smart Tape and Smart DOM are presented in a more user-friendly and clear format, making it easier for you to track the activity of major players. It helps you to ‘unveil’ the hidden motives of market leaders.

Smart DOM (Depth Of Market)

Smart DOM (Order Book) is not only a powerful scalping tool but also an instrument for analyzing limit orders.

Some advantages of the module include:

  • working with the full depth of the order book and scaling for cryptocurrencies;
  • displaying the placed order in the order queue;
  • visualizing traded volumes at each level;
  • spoofing detector (identifying order manipulation in the order book);
  • innovative method for detecting high-frequency algorithms (HFT);
  • template designer to create and save custom order book layouts for any purpose.

The platform also features our proprietary indicators that help assess the dynamics of the order book directly on the price chart: DOM Levels, Scalping DOM, and DOM Power.

Smart DOM & Heat Map
Индикаторы объемного анализа

The unique Smart Tape algorithm

An enhanced version of the classic tape for order flow reading in the market:

  • print aggregation — a unique proprietary algorithm that reveals the actual size of aggressive market trades;
  • filter separates and tracks actions of large and small players;
  • Open Interest (OI) indicates money inflows or outflows in the market;
  • Buy/sell strength indicator shows the balance or imbalance between bulls and bears;
  • Tape speed indicator displays surges of activity or lulls in the market;
  • history mode enables you to analyze the trade flow at any specific time interval;
  • templates for saving your favorite tape settings.

Use proprietary ATAS indicators to visually assess the order flow directly on the price chart: Orderflow, Speed of Tape, Big Trades, and more.

Heat Map

A heat map is a way to display activity in the DOM over time. The brighter the color of a price level on the chart, the larger the volume of limit orders placed at that level in the DOM.

Use the heat map in ATAS indicators for:

  • scalping;
  • finding more accurate entry points – minimize the risk.
Heat Map
Bid Ask Tape

Bid Ask Тape

The Bid/Ask Tape (Spread Tape) is a specialized tool that shows bid and ask volumes at each price level. It is organized in columns, where each line shows the details of a separate trades:

  • the left column shows the precise time of each trade, down to the second;
  • next, it lists the bid price at the trade time;
  • the following column shows the volume of market sells (Bid);
  • then, the volume traded within the spread (between bid and ask);
  • the volume of market buys (Ask);
  • the ask price at the trade time;
  • the delta value.

All Prices

All Prices is a module that displays horizontal volume levels based on the price scale for specified time intervals. These values typically serve as strong support and resistance levels.

The columns show:

  • Price level;
  • Volume – the number of contracts traded at this level during the selected period;
  • Trades – the number of transactions completed at this level over the selected period;
  • Bid – the number of market sell orders;
  • Ask – the number of market buy orders;
  • Delta – the difference between Bid and Ask.
All Prices
MBO DOM

МВО DOM

The indicator creates the order book using “Market by Order” data — information from the exchange about the volumes of individual orders. You could see the orders that make up each exchange level, including their volumes and the order in which they were placed.

You can analyze detailed information for each order:

  • the price and volume;
  • time of the last change for that order (regardless of the level)
  • its ID;
  • its execution priority in the queue.
