Connecting to dxFeed

This manual serves as a guide to connect dxFeed accounts.

Subscription

Here is the link where you can order the online data subscription: https://get.dxfeed.com/orders/new/atas

This connection provides quotes for the exchanges CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, EUREX, NASDAQ.

It is now possible to open charts of instruments for which you have a subscription, but there are no such instruments in ATAS. To open a chart from dxFeed, you need to connect the dxFeed connector and select the dxFeed section in the instruments manager.

Connection Steps

1. Open the Connection Settings window.
2. Click the Add button to add a new connection.
3. A window will open with a list of available accounts and quote providers.
4. Select the dxFeed connection and click Next.
5. In the connection window, enter your login and password, fill in the necessary parameters, and click the Finish button.

Settings

Common

• Connection name — what the connection will be named (in the “Name” column).
• Login, password — credentials you received for accessing your dxFeed account.
• Align by trading session — disable to request all data. Enable to align data according to ATAS instruments. Disabling this option allows viewing pre- and post-market data. Changing this setting may require cache clearing.

Limitations

• Days back with full volume — determines how many days of cluster data are shown on dxFeed charts. More days increase loading time but provide more chart data.
• Number of visible levels — depth limit for the dxFeed connector. A value of 0 disables the limitation.
• Use limited order book — limits the number of levels in the DOM on the server. This reduces the volume of data and increases processing speed.

Errors

If during connection you see the error: "Unable to load DLL DXFeed 64.dll" — follow this link and install BOTH files:
