How to open the Connections window

To open the connection settings window in the ATAS platform, choose one of the following options:

1. In the program's main menu, go to the Home tab, then select Connections.
2. Left-click on the connection status indicator in the main platform window.

Description of the Connections window

The following window will open. Below is a description of each section:

1. Add – add a new connection.
2. Type – the data source of the connection.
3. Name – the name of the connection you can define manually.
4. State – the current status of the connection.
5. Quotes provider – select this to use the connection as a quote data source.
6. Auto connect – enable this if you want the connection to be established automatically when the platform starts.
7. Connection settings button – opens configuration options for the selected connection.
8. Delete – removes the connection from the list.
9. Connect/Disconnect – use to connect or disconnect the selected connector.

If you have several connections that provide quotes for the same instrument, you should leave only one connector as a data provider so that volumes are not double-counted

Connecting multiple accounts

Can I connect several accounts at the same time?

Yes, you can do that. It's important not to connect two or more data providers for the same market simultaneously, otherwise quotes will be duplicated.

If you want quotes to be supplied only from one connector and use both connections for order placement, you need to uncheck the Quote provider option for one of the connections.
