EdgeDepth vs ATAS
Compare live footprints, profiles and replay, then the ways each platform supports deeper investigation.
When ATAS fits
ATAS is a fit when you need its particular footprint variants, indicator catalog, supported connections or an established ATAS workspace.
When EdgeDepth fits
EdgeDepth provides footprint charts, TPO, volume profiles, VWAP, DOM and tape for hosted live analysis and recorded replay. Add a study of a supported setup when you want to check how it behaved beyond the session in front of you.
What each workflow gives you
| Decision | ATAS | EdgeDepth |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis | Order-flow analysis with footprint charts and market-analysis tools. | Live liquidity heatmap, footprint charts, TPO, volume profiles, sessions, VWAP, DOM and trade tape in the hosted browser terminal. Inspect these views in recorded replay as well. |
| Replay | Market Replay recreates historical trading and supports simulated practice. | Replay recorded trades and order-book updates with heatmaps, footprints and profiles. Seek through the recorded sequence in the browser. Available views depend on recorded streams and plan access. |
| Learning workflow | Session review and trade practice inside the analytical workstation. | Inspect footprints and session profiles, use guided lessons and paper trading in supported replay workflows, and test a supported observation across the research record. |
| Data choice | Check the current ATAS connection and historical-data requirements for the markets you use. | Research covers Binance USDT-M; live coverage includes Binance USDT-M and Hyperliquid perpetuals. Live analysis and recorded replay sit alongside research; broker order execution is not provided. |
Live order flow, recorded replay and research together
Read resting liquidity on the order-book heatmap, inspect executed volume in footprints, and use TPO, session profiles and VWAP for context. The liquidation layers add a separate view: modeled liquidation pressure is distinct from resting orders and observed liquidation prints.
Those tools support a complete visual investigation inside EdgeDepth. Research adds another step when useful: define a supported condition, count its matches and inspect what followed across the selected record. Open the terminal or test a question.
How it could fit your research
Study the footprint, session profile and tape inside EdgeDepth, then replay the recorded sequence and practise in supported replay workflows. Research adds a way to count a supported setup across history. Footprints and session review are shared strengths; the decision depends on the specific tools, feeds and workflow you need.
In EdgeDepth, review the exact setup, markets and dates. Read both favourable and adverse outcomes, check missing windows and inspect counterexamples. A same-scope unconditional reference includes matches and is not a matched control group. An interesting pattern is a reason for another check, not proof of profitability.
Coverage and access matter
Search can reach the full verified research record, with availability varying by measurement and market. Pro tick replay covers 90 days; Research reaches the available recorded replay history. Research history and replay coverage are different. Check coverage and current plans for your intended workflow.
EdgeDepth has live order flow, an event archive, lessons and open-source terminal tools alongside research. It does not execute trades. A monitored condition means the setup occurred again, not that an order should be placed.

Common questions
Does ATAS need a recording made by me to offer replay? #
ATAS offers historical Market Replay. Check its supported data and connection requirements rather than assuming all history must be recorded locally. EdgeDepth supplies its own hosted record for its supported research universe.
Can I inspect EdgeDepth before paying? #
Yes. The hosted live terminal has a free tier, and public demos let you inspect replay. The open-source terminal can run with a compatible gateway. Advanced hosted features, research allowances and replay access vary by plan; existing public reports are free to read.
