The Complete ATAS X Tutorial — everything you need to get started in under an hour. ATAS X is the cross-platform version of ATAS, and in this guide I walk you through the entire setup from scratch: choosing the right version, connecting your data feed, dialing in the settings that actually matter for stability and performance, and building your first charts the right way. From there we go hands-on with the tools that make ATAS powerful — Volume Profiles (RTH & ETH), Footprint charts, and the Heatmap — before moving into live execution: placing market, limit and stop orders, adding SL/TP, trading straight off the Heatmap, and using Cross Trading. We finish by saving everything into a clean workspace so you can pick up right where you left off. Whether you're switching over from ATAS Classic or opening the platform for the first time, this video gets you fully operational. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. It is not financial advice. Trading involves significant risk and can lead to the loss of your entire capital. I am simply documenting my personal journey; always do your own research and trade at your own risk. 0:00 Introduction 0:48 Which Version to choose for ATAS X 1:30 Where to download ATAS X 1:52 What the Login Window is 3:15 First Impression of the ATAS X window 3:52 How to set up your DataFeed Connection 6:35 Where to find your Workspaces 6:46 ATAS provided Learning section 7:00 Where to find your Version Number 7:15 Where to find your Alerts 7:32 IMPORTANT How to Change you Common Settings 8:23 IMPORTANT Where to enable Cross Trading 8:53 Continuation Common Settings 9:36 How to improve your compute stability 10:20 Settings to improve Heatmap stability 10:52 How to set your correct Timezone 11:46 How to Change Hotkeys in ATAS X 12:18 Where to find Custom Modules for accessing Indicators 12:54 How to create a Chart 13:20 How to trade the prefered Instrument in ATAS X 14:30 Explanation of the Drawings Panel in ATAS X 16:18 How to Change the Timeframe in ATAS X 17:10 IMPORTANT How to Change the Default loaded Days for a Timeframe 17:47 How to quickly Change the Footprint 18:02 How to Change your Crosshair type 19:05 Where to find the Quick Change for Templates 19:20 How to Change the Tick Aggregation of an Instrument 19:58 How to link Price Axis 20:18 How to choose a certain Date 20:32 Where to create custom Trading Sessions 20:50 How to scale the Y and X Axis 21:48 How to Change the different Background Color in ATAS X 22:47 Explanation of important Chart Settings 23:33 How to Change your Crosshair in Chart Settings 24:30 How to disable Grid Lines/Session Line in Chart Settings 25:16 How to Change the Axis in the Chart Settings 25:42 Change the Candle Colors in the Chart Settings 26:13 Additional important Chart Settings in ATAS X 27:40 How to create a Template in ATAS X 29:08 How to use a saved Template in ATAS X 29:57 How to use the Tabs 30:36 How to create a new Window in ATAS X 31:05 How to Clone a Window in ATAS X 31:15 How to dock a Window in ATAS X 31:40 How to create and Change the Settings for the RTH Volume Profile in ATAS X 35:55 How to create another Volume Profile for the ETH in ATAS X 37:55 How to add the Bar Timer Indicator in ATAS X 39:00 Save your created Chart as a Template 40:00 How to create a Footprint Chart in ATAS X 41:30 Settings for the Footprint Chart 45:33 How to create a Heatmap in ATAS X 45:50 IMPORTANT Make sure you have Level 2 Data connected 46:20 Change the available functions in the Heatmap 46:42 Change the visual Settings for the Heatmap 48:10 How to execute on ATAS X 48:21 How to open the Trading Panel in ATAS X 48:38 How to use Cross Trading in 50:03 How to market buy/sell in ATAS X 50:20 How to add a SL/TP in ATAS X 50:48 How to place Limit/Stop Orders in ATAS X 52:58 How to take trades on the Heatmap in ATAS X 53:35 How to see your Account stats in ATAS X 55:02 How to pull and drag Windows in ATAS X 56:15 How to create and save a Workspace in ATAS X 56:35 How to properly close ATAS X 57:18 How to properly open ATAS X with a saved Workspace 57:35 Closing Words
