​​ATAS never stops and constantly improves working tools. The updated version Stable 5.7.31.415 is designed to make the trading process even more user-friendly, visual and efficient.

βœ… Great news for Binance Futures and Bybit traders! You can manually adjust the leverage and margin type, and also set some new additional parameters. All of that can be done in an updated window with a well-thought-out filter system. It is up to you how many windows with positions to open – unique settings can be set for each window.

βœ… Now it is possible to trade Binance futures in demo mode on Crypto SIM – hone your strategies without risking your real capital.

βœ… Scaling and indicators that use the Level2 data have been added to the Smart DOM. Now it is much easier to work with crypto tools.

βœ… The Scalping DOM indicator has got two ways of auto-centering. We have also added the output of ping orders with multi-colored highlighting.

βœ… All necessary chart settings can be quickly found by name.

βœ…You can zoom in on candles in any mode to have a quick view in a cluster form.

βœ… New Content, Mode and Color settings have been added to cluster charts. Now it is possible to get 400+ types of clusters. Two new filter modes have been added to the cluster settings: Relative Volume and Relative Trades.

βœ… The cluster mode selection sidebar can now be hidden. For example, if you want to focus on a large number of cluster charts.

βœ… The Magnifier mode can be activated in two ways – by pressing the hotkey or the button on the control panel.


πŸ‘Œ We have also optimized time-tested tools:

βœ… Now you can color clusters according to the heatmap principle in the color settings (like in the Dom Levels indicator). Best bid/ Best ask indicator can be 🎨 simultaneously according to the Smart Tape filters.

βœ… A new "Draw borders" parameter allows to framing each price level in a rectangle for better visual clarity.

βœ… New categories have appeared in the cluster settings. For example, the "Custom rows height" property allows you to set a custom fixed height of price levels. Cluster settings can now be easily accessed from the chart sidebar without opening the general settings window.

βœ… TPO has learned how to show the profile date (Show date), extend the lines of maximum volumes to the price scale and display short volume values at max. TPO and Profilies levels.

βœ… CQG can connect to servers in Chicago, Singapore and Hong Kong. In addition, matching for the RB tool has been added

βœ… Interactive Brokers connector now has matching with CBOE EU instruments.


πŸ‘Œ Healthy perfectionism is the credo of the ATAS platform. Therefore, we tried to fix as many flaws as possible in the new version of the platform:

βœ… Problems with getting data from DxFeed and CQG, ByBit and Interactive Brokers errors.
βœ… Inaccuracies when displaying SmartDOM or Watchlist. Cluster Search and TPO and Profilies indicator errors. Difficulties with drawing in GDI, building depth of market in TWS, canceling limit orders in Transaq connector and saving windows on different virtual desktops.
βœ… We have also fixed flaws in the Multiple target defensive strategy and provided an opportunity to select a volume <10 for TRANSAQ.

​​A false breakout takes place when the price moves forward through some level but doesn’t have a sufficient impulse and moves back through the level. To put it simply, a false breakout is a pattern when:
πŸ“ˆthe price moves within the range (a bulge forms on the market profile at this time);
πŸ“ˆafter that, the price breaks a trading range, but its movement gets exhausted, and there are no trend followers;
πŸ“ˆthe price returns to the range (and often breaks the range in the opposite direction).

Our new article offers a practical idea for trading false breakouts. Do not treat the idea as a guaranteed way to earn money – there are no holy grails on the stock exchange.

This article represents thoughts on how to make money through trading false breakouts:

βœ… A gallery of templates has been added to the ATAS! This new functionality is designed to save you time. It is not necessary to manually select the parameters of charts, the DOM, a smart tape, etc. Use ready-made combinations! A customized one-click chart is a perfect solution for beginner traders. The pros, on the other hand, have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the ATAS community by offering an author’s template and receiving a valuable reward;

βœ… Position settings for margin trading on Binance and ByBit have become even more flexible due to 10 new fields;

βœ… Now you can create several positions tabs – you can set individual settings and change the isolated margin position for each tab;

βœ… Limit orders for one instrument are now synchronized in different windows – when switching the type of limit in one window, it automatically changes in all other charts and order books;

βœ… Now it is possible to select the depth of the DOM in the connection parameters of the ByBit connector;

βœ… We have updated the connecting parameters to Rithmic servers, one of the fastest quote providers. Now the system works even more stable!

A separate set of improvements and optimization has been implemented for the indicators:

πŸ“ˆ For the Volume and Delta indicators: the threshold for switching to the volume display mode has been raised and the volume accuracy has been reduced to 5 characters (on the crypt). The divergence arrow in the Delta indicator has been moved from the indicator panel to the chart; we have provided the ability to disable the arrow when the candle is bearish and the delta is positive (and vice versa) and to disable the display of the current value;

πŸ“ˆ For the Scalping DOM: the ability to change the FIFO/LIFO mode has been introduced to the chart; we have provided the display of orders that are not visible within the current price range; auto-centering has been added; we have upgraded the visualization of the price scale using the Grid category and the Price axis border property;

πŸ“ˆ Filtering by cumulative or non-aggregated trades is now available for the Order Flow, Market Power and Multi Market Power indicators, in the Cluster Search: an improved filter by time, by β€œPrice location” and an auto-filter (by analogy with the Big Trades), in the Depth of Market – volume filters (as in Scalping Dom), in HRanges – a filter for the number of bars and the ability to hide ranges when the volume filter is activated, in the Open Interest – the bar closing filter, when the signal value reaches the filter value and closes with a lower module value;
πŸ“ˆ The Daily Change, Zig Zag Pro, Imbalance Ratio and TPO and Profile indicators have got improved visualization settings;

πŸ“ˆ For the Cluster Statistic: the number of completed trades is now displayed in the cluster, now you can align the text to the center;

πŸ“ˆ The values of the lines have been added to the alert messages in the EMA and SMA indicators to provide more information. An extreme value alert has been added to the RSI indicator;

πŸ“ˆ A 🚩 β€œshow current value” has been added to the OI analyzer indicator;

πŸ“ˆ Level settings can now be inverted in the Fibo Fan indicator;

πŸ“ˆ Now it is possible to specify the period in candles and hide labels on the lines in the Initial Balance;

πŸ“ˆ Rounding has been removed from signals and the axis for the Squeeze momentum indicator;

​​The term β€œtesting” is common among those who analyze price and volume charts. However, in our opinion, it is often used superficially.

When doing a chart analysis test, always ask yourself the following questions:
πŸ‘‰ Who is testing?
πŸ‘‰ What is being tested?
πŸ‘‰ What is the purpose?

A new post on our blog is aimed to give a test new meanings in trading. We will explain the VSA logic and clear examples of testing in different markets. Read the full text at the link: https://bit.ly/3Pkhrb2

​​4️⃣ MODES OF THE FIXED MARKET PROFILE

The ATAS platform provides advanced functionality for working with market profiles. A fixed profile, a dynamic profile in drawing mode, and a profile indicator help to get a full picture of horizontal volumes.

You can see four modes of the fixed profile in the picture:
1️⃣ β†’ top left: a regular profile
2️⃣ β†’ top right: a profile in TPO mode
3️⃣ β†’ bottom left: a profile and TPO
4️⃣ β†’ bottom right: a profile and TPO superimposed on each other.

All parameters of the fixed profile have flexible settings. You can individually choose the color, transparency, gradient, and display of important levels (value zones, maximum volume levels).
In each mode the fixed profile can be built based on information about trades, volumes, time, bid/ask trades (by default), delta (two ways of displaying).

How to use market profiles? Read in detail on our blog: https://bit.ly/3dJZ4PS

​​MARKET STRUCTURE ANALYSIS IN DAILY TIMEFRAME

One should start the analysis of the market structure in the daily time frame. Since the long-term structure of the market is always more important and trading against the daily trend is not effective. We can use two instruments for the analysis:

πŸ‘‰ β€œFixed TPO and Profile” with β€œContract” period. This instrument clearly shows the main levels of maximum volumes accumulated for a traded contract.
πŸ‘‰ β€œDynamic Levels” with β€œMonthly” period. You can remove the Value area levels and highlight the maximum volume level in this indicator.

The image shows the 6A(AUDUSD) futures chart in the daily time frame.
At point 1 the chart is in a steady trend, the price is consistently above the maximum volume level of the β€œDynamic Levels” indicator.
The situation has changed at point 2. The maximum volume level of the β€œDynamic Levels” indicator moves chaotically, goes down, goes up. This indicates the flat state of the market.

​​THE RELATIVE VOLUME FILTER – A COOL FEATURE FOR CLUSTER CHARTS

Traders and technical analysts of financial markets have probably faced the problem of reconfiguring charts every time when changing time frames and/or financial instruments. The reasons why this happens are obvious. The more often you have to change the time frame or something else, the more urgent the problem is.

A possible solution is to create a database of your own templates (snapshots) where the settings of charts and indicators are stored, but this option has its drawbacks.

πŸ‘‰ For the convenience of its users, the team of the ATAS trading and analytical platform has developed a special solution – the Relative Volume filter which can be applied to a cluster chart.

To activate the Relative Volume filter:
βœ”οΈ open the chart;
βœ”οΈ in the chart settings, go to the Cluster Settings tab;
βœ”οΈ in the Filters section, add a filter by clicking on the plus sign;
βœ”οΈ in the filter settings, select Relative Volume (by volume or by the number of trades);
βœ”οΈ Specify the value as a percentage.

For example, the Relative Volume filter = 90% on the attached chart. It means that ATAS automatically finds the largest volume among all clusters loaded on the chart and takes its value as 100%. After that, all clusters whose volume is at least 90% of the maximum are painted black.

Let's say we used absolute values. If you changed the period, for example, from 5 minutes to 4 hours, a lot of black clusters would appear on the chart. This would require time to reconfigure the filter. But if you use relative values as a percentage, the work becomes much easier.

☝️ Please note that you can add multiple filters with different colors.

If you have any questions when setting up the Relative Volume filter for cluster charts, please contact the support service.

​​Hello friends!

We would like to present you BETA 5.7.33.200 – a fresh update of ATAS which has made the platform even more functional and easy-to-use. See for yourself.

What's new?

βœ… FTX (another connector) is now available for crypto traders. It is a rapidly growing exchange with support for margin spot trading and a huge variety of unique derivatives and securities. Now you can receive quotes and make trades on FTX directly from ATAS.

What's improved?

βœ… Our main pride in this update is the ChartTrader.
βœ”οΈ Now you can specify not only the order size as a % value of the portfolio size, but also the base and quote currencies. For example, for the BTCUSDT pair, it can be either BTC or USDT.
βœ”οΈ You can choose the type of order on the exchange (TimeInForce: GoodTillCancel, FillOrKill, ImmediateOrCancel, etc.) and use the additional options: ReduceOnly, PostOnly, CloseOnTrigger, etc.
βœ”οΈ You can assign a price type for conditional orders (Index price, Last price, Mark price, etc.).
βœ”οΈ Before sending an order, you will see its cost and the maximum possible volume.
βœ”οΈ If there are no portfolios available, the platform will offer to connect a connector and detailed instructions on how to do it.

βœ… Three new sets of ready-made settings are available in the template gallery:
βœ”οΈ Basic Prop DOM with a summary of useful information for prop trading through Smart DOM;
βœ”οΈ Advanced Limit Tracking allows you to track the addition and removal of volumes at limit levels and highlight big limits with filters.
βœ”οΈ Minimalistic Compact – asks, bids, price scale, daily volume profile and nothing extra.

βœ… We tried to make the strategy settings even more convenient. Using the "Activate by zero position" flag, you can not only check the position, but also check for pending orders.
βœ… "Gradient proportion" has returned to the display settings of cluster charts. If you increase the %, there will be fewer contrasting clusters.
βœ… When you save the connector settings, the platform automatically finds an active connection and offers to reconnect to it.
βœ… Of course, we could not ignore the indicators. This time, the improvements have been made to the new Bar Timer alert and the VWAP flag.
βœ… A help button has appeared at the top of the screen. If you click on it, you can find out the details of the latest updates, suggest your own ideas for improving the platform, go to the Knowledge Base or contact technical support.
βœ… Now ATAS also β€œspeaks” Chinese. Other localizations are coming up next, for example, Spanish.
