  • BidAsk, Delta and Volume – for analyzing vertical volumes

Volume

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

Big Trades

All big trades are clearly visible due to the Big Trades indicator and its wide functionality.

Cluster Search

The Cluster Search indicator will find the relevant clusters for you based on various criteria, both in history and in real-time.

DOM Levels

The DOM Levels indicator is used to display on the chart the levels where increased activity has been noticed (large clusters of limit orders).

Scalping DOM

It is possible to implement scalping software in the ATAS platform. A distinctive feature of the indicator is a heat map for analyzing the interaction of the price with the levels of large orders in the DOM.

Scalping DOM

TPO and Profile

This is an all-in-one solution for analyzing histograms of horizontal volumes and classical market profiles. The TPO and Profile indicator has 4 display modes – choose the one that suits your strategy the best.

Dynamic Levels

This indicator reflects the dynamics of the market profile in real time. It draws the lines reflecting Point Of Control and Value Area changes.

Speed of Tape

This indicator reflects the trade execution speed in the form of a histogram. If activity accelerates, it is a signal of high probability that professionals are active in the market.

Liquidity and order flow analysis

Aggregation of trades

The 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 is 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)

The Smart DOM is a powerful instrument for analyzing limit orders.

By analyzing characteristic patterns deep in the market, you can:

  • track manipulations;
  • detect strong levels;
  • get a confirmation for conducting trading operations.

You can easily implement intraday scalping:

  • send/cancel/change orders;
  • adjusting working volume;
  • connecting strategies for protecting the capital.

Heat Map

A heat map is an easy way of displaying trading activity in the DOM over time. Use it for scalping and finding entry points. An enhanced heat map provides more useful opportunities for ATAS platform users when working with Scalping DOM and DOM Levels indicators.

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;
  • learning – study the markets safely in the Market Replay mode, use the heat map to track the behaviour patterns of big players in the DOM.

Spoofing detector

Spoofing means sending limit orders to the exchange to mislead other trades participants. In fact, it is a prohibited tactic employed by manipulators.

Thanks to Smart DOM ATAS, you can avoid traps. Moreover, the detection of false activity will enable you to increase the efficiency of trading.

Market trades

In a special Smart DOM column, you can keep track of trades that have just been made. In fact, it combines data on limit orders and recent market trades.

Smart Tape

Smart Tape (Time & Sales) is an important ATAS component. It will give you an edge by tracking the flow of recent trades in real-time.

The data is presented in the classic form. You will find useful innovations in the platform:

  • speed of tape indicator;
  • buyer/seller aggression indicator;
  • positive/negative price reaction indicator;
  • single prints;
  • non-spread trades;
  • trade filtration;
  • visual settings;
  • templates.

Best Bid and Best Ask analysis

You can analyze the Tape by volume at the Best Bid and Best Ask levels using the following filters:

  • Minimum Volume;
  • Maximum Volume.
