​​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 → top left: a regular profile
2️⃣ → top right: a profile in TPO mode
3️⃣ → bottom left: a profile and TPO
4️⃣ → 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:

👉 “Fixed TPO and Profile” with “Contract” period. This instrument clearly shows the main levels of maximum volumes accumulated for a traded contract.
👉 “Dynamic Levels” with “Monthly” 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 “Dynamic Levels” indicator.
The situation has changed at point 2. The maximum volume level of the “Dynamic 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.

👉 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:
✔️ open the chart;
✔️ in the chart settings, go to the Cluster Settings tab;
✔️ in the Filters section, add a filter by clicking on the plus sign;
✔️ in the filter settings, select Relative Volume (by volume or by the number of trades);
✔️ 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.

You can find information about filters and other useful tools of the ATAS platform in our blog at the link https://bit.ly/3e6V8sK

​​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?

✅ 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?

✅ Our main pride in this update is the ChartTrader.
✔️ 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.
✔️ You can choose the type of order on the exchange (TimeInForce: GoodTillCancel, FillOrKill, ImmediateOrCancel, etc.) and use the additional options: ReduceOnly, PostOnly, CloseOnTrigger, etc.
✔️ You can assign a price type for conditional orders (Index price, Last price, Mark price, etc.).
✔️ Before sending an order, you will see its cost and the maximum possible volume.
✔️ If there are no portfolios available, the platform will offer to connect a connector and detailed instructions on how to do it.

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

✅ 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.
✅ "Gradient proportion" has returned to the display settings of cluster charts. If you increase the %, there will be fewer contrasting clusters.
✅ When you save the connector settings, the platform automatically finds an active connection and offers to reconnect to it.
✅ 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.
✅ 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.
✅ Now ATAS also “speaks” Chinese. Other localizations are coming up next, for example, Spanish.

​​WHAT IS VSA DISTRIBUTION
Distribution is a trading range at the market highs in which a financial instrument changes its owner. As a rule, the major interest (insider, smart money or composite operator) uses the current market situation in order to distribute the asset they own at high prices.
The general features are the following:

👉 An extremely powerful upward impulse passes at the beginning of the distribution area. Usually it is accompanied with good news in the media. A major player sort of advertises stock/futures/currency in order to make minor players snap the instrument up like hot cakes. From the VSA point of view, an analyst registers the buying climax and/or the End of Rising Market.

👉 Then the buyers’ pressure exhausts. The upward waves become less powerful. New highs are just a situational overrun of previous records. The major player provides false support to the market only to buy time and sell more.

👉 Downward movement starts on the growing volume (Selling Pressure) after the final false upward movement (Upthrust) and is accompanied with weak rallies (No Demand).

👉 As for the stock market, the stock becomes weaker than the index.

​​HOW THE US FINANCIAL MARKET IS REGULATED

Financial Supervisory Authorities (regulators) ensure that market participants do not violate the rules, and that trading is carried out honestly and transparently.

For example, trading in the US financial markets is regulated by:

👉 SEC (The United States Securities and Exchange Commission, founded in 1934 under President Roosevelt) is an agency of the US government. It is the main body that oversees and regulates the US securities market.

👉 FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) – is a private American corporation that enforces the rules of trading in the over-the-counter market (OTC market). It was created in 1939 by the decision of the US Congress.

👉 CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission). The central government agency of the USA that ensures the enforcement of the Commodity Exchange Act.

👉 NFA is the National Futures Association founded in 1984. It is a regulator in the derivatives markets, including the market of exchange-traded index futures. The NFA is funded by membership and evaluation fees and membership is mandatory for many market participants.

👉 FED (Federal Reserve System) is not a classic regulator, but the relevant rules approved by the Fed must be followed by financial market participants.

👉 SIPC is the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. It was created under the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) in 1970. SIPC is also not exactly a regulator, it is controlled by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The purpose of SIPC is to expedite the recovery and return of client’s missing assets during the liquidation of a bankrupt investment company.

​​HOW TO FIND TRACES OF “SMART MONEY” USING THE CLUSTER SEARCH INDICATOR IN ATAS

It is very important for traders to decide at what levels they will trade. We are going to look at big trades and the limit side of the trade using the Cluster Search indicator.

We are going to use two Cluster Search indicators to find levels where a fierce battle between buyers and sellers took place.
Market orders are often absorbed by limit orders at the end of a focused movement and as a result the price reverses. These are the levels that the Cluster Search indicator can detect. If you want to separate the European and American sessions, it is necessary to use four indicators. Two for each session – one for buys and the other one for sells.

​​ATAS IS CONQUERING THE WORLD OF TRADING

Dear friends, we would like to share a photo report from Frankfurt am Main, Germany, where the World of Trading conference was held.

WoT is an annual prestigious exhibition and conference that brings together leading representatives of the trade industry in Frankfurt am Main. This time, representatives from more than 60 stock exchanges, brokers, software vendors, educational companies, specialized publishers and online resources met to exchange ideas.

The ATAS team presented the functionality of the platform to the public and received a lot of positive feedback! This motivates us to develop, improve trading instruments and the quality of service for our clients.

​​ABOUT CLEARING IN LAYMAN’S TERMS

Clearing on the exchange is the time for non-cash settlements between the accounts of market participants.

👉 To go through clearing, you must have funds on your trading account to ensure the result of the transaction (if it is negative) and a security margin, which is set not by the broker but by the exchange itself. If the time of clearing has come but you do not have enough free funds on your account to ensure an open position when transferring through clearing, the position will be closed at an average daily price which is much worse than the market price, and a fine will also be imposed. Therefore, be careful when transferring a position through clearing!

☝️ Here is a quick reference that will help you not to get confused in terms:
Intraday Margin is set by the broker intraday.
Initial Margin is a sum on the balance that is necessary for transferring the contract through the night on the FIRST day!

Maintenance Margin – is a sum on the balance that is necessary for transferring the position overnight on the second and subsequent days.

​​DRAWING TOOL FOR DEAL PLANNING

We share a life hack for planning trading operations in the ATAS platform. Applying it is very simple:

👉 From the drawing menu, select Long Position (if you plan to go long) or Short Position (if you plan to go short).
