Hi ATAS Team,
First off, I want to say how impressed I am with the platform. The order flow visualization and clarity are incredible, and the cross-platform optimization across both Windows and Mac is seamless. ATASX completely replaced Deepcharts for me.
I have a feature suggestion that would solve a major pain point for active traders who want high reliability without managing a complex VPS setup: A Smart Quote System (Multi-Feed Failover).
The Problem
Data feed performance and latency fluctuate unpredictably throughout the trading day. While one provider (e.g., Rithmic) might lag during high-volatility opens while another (e.g., dxFeed) stays steady, the situation can easily reverse later in the session without warning.
Because these latency spikes and delays are impossible to predict or time, manually monitoring feed health and switching providers during active market conditions costs critical time, focus, and trade execution precision.
The Feature Proposal
Allow ATAS to connect and maintain two active quote providers simultaneously, governed by an automated backend failover mechanism:
Real-Time Health & Latency Monitoring: ATAS continuously tracks incoming data health, packet flow, and latency for both connected feeds in the background.
Seamless Automatic Failover: If the primary feed experiences delays or breaches a latency threshold, ATAS automatically routes chart data to the healthier secondary feed—without freezing charts, losing historical tick data, or interrupting the user workflow.
Running concurrently removes the need to predict provider stability, drastically minimizes latency issues, and provides institutional-grade redundancy right out of the box.
Thanks for building such an outstanding platform, and I look forward to seeing how ATAS continues to evolve!
