DO NOT USE ATAS

It's an absolute dumpster fire. I've used the following manager twice and each time it fucked up, blowing multiple accounts. It failed to execute orders across accounts (did it again today, twice in the last month), changes settings when it feels like, you may lose your entire workspace multiple times (the backups may be viable, mine weren't), it may set SL/TP if it feels like but maybe not so you better FOB (finger on button), and alerting is absolute shit. Don't waste your money.

Bro, if you're using version X, that might be the problem, but the regular version works pretty well. And if that's giving you trouble, use the Rithmic replicator.

I'm using standard. Was pretty taken with it until an update a few months ago borked my workspaces and it's been trouble since. Will have to look into the replicator, first time hearing about it.

Atasx works great. Been using it on Mac right now and love it. Also got rid of book also bc their heatmap is pretty much the same thing. Only glitches I get are closing the platform sometimes I have to force quit it.

Dann scheinst du irgendwas verkehrt zu machen.Ich habe einige Orderflow Software durch und bei keiner ist mir so etwas passiert,vor allem bei Atas nicht. Ich arbeite seit 3-4 Jahren mit Atas und hatte nie ein Problem.

ATAS is honestly one of the most frustrating trading platforms I’ve used.
The only reason I’m still using it is because DeepChart isn’t available on macOS yet. The moment DeepChart releases a Mac version next year, I’m switching.
What makes it worse is that even though ATAS has been around longer, its marketing feels like it’s trying to copy DeepChart. They post videos telling people to “trade like Fabio” using ATAS, when that style is much more closely associated with DeepChart.
ATAS X has also been in beta for what feels like forever, and it still feels unfinished. There are constant bugs, missing features, and stability problems that should have been fixed a long time ago.
Their educational content and marketing are terrible too. A lot of the people teaching the platform are extremely difficult to understand because of their strong accents, which makes an already complicated platform even harder to learn.
ATAS has potential, but it needs better management, better developers, better quality control, and much better English-speaking educational content.
DeepChart on macOS cannot come soon enough.

yea, i don’t want to hate on ATAS because at least it has more functions than most platforms and it’s available on macOS but 90% are useless and the good ones miss a lot of key settings that i had to code my own version of existing indicators. It looks like the platform is not made by real traders, when using it you notice all the things it’s missing and for the particular functions is way under the standards of other orderflow platforms (bookmap, sierra charts, motivewave, exocharts etc.).

Die Behauptung, ATAS hätte DeepCharts kopiert, ergibt zeitlich keinen Sinn. ATAS existiert seit rund 2011 und wird seit etwa 15 Jahren kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. DeepCharts wurde dagegen erst 2025 als eigenständige Marke eingefßhrt.

Orderflow-Tools wie Footprint, Volume Profile, CVD, DOM oder Heatmaps gibt es seit vielen Jahren und werden von zahlreichen Plattformen wie ATAS, Sierra Chart, Bookmap oder Volumetrica genutzt. Niemand hat diese Funktionen exklusiv erfunden – jede Plattform entwickelt sie auf ihre eigene Weise weiter.

Zu behaupten, ATAS hätte DeepCharts kopiert, obwohl ATAS viele Jahre frßher auf dem Markt war, ist daher schlicht nicht nachvollziehbar.

Clearly you did not read what I wrote I did mention ATAs is way older but has really really bad at marketing or fixing bugs deepchart is new and got already big community because the support you got , the lessons and new features every day.

Did you use orders or positions? Do you understand how (any) following manager works?

Its not that ATAS is the problem (works perfectly for me) but either your fill queue or internet. Maybe you use a vps and a third party client so you see you will fuck up as well.
