What are the best order flow indicators for ATAS in 2027?

1. Reading the tape. Does the tool show what traded, at which price, and on which side?
2. Finding large or hidden orders. Big trades, sweeps, icebergs, stop runs.
3. Context. Does it tell you where the session stands (value, structure, range, related market), so a footprint signal means something?
4. Data requirements. Which plan, which data feed?
5. Price and licence. Subscription or one-time, and which ATAS version it runs on.

We only describe what vendors publish on their own pages. Where a feature is not on the page we read, we write "not listed" with the date. That does not mean it cannot exist. No indicator guarantees results.

ATAS prices are in euros excluding VAT, VAT is added at checkout. PFT prices are shown net, as on the PFT indicator page; VAT is added at checkout. Numbers in brackets refer to the source list at the end.^[2][8]

ATAS ships most of the order flow primitives itself. Its indicator page lists, among others, Cluster Statistic (a look inside each candle), Delta and CVD, Stacked Imbalance, Tape Patterns, DOM Levels, Volume Profile & TPO, VWAP and Fair Value Gaps.^[1] On the plan page, Footprint/Cluster charts, Cluster Search and the Heatmap (beta) are available in every plan including the free Start plan. Start and Plus show futures data with a 15-minute delay; real-time futures data starts with Pro.^[2]

The MBO Bundle becomes a paid add-on

The MBO Bundle uses Market-by-Order data to show individual orders: an Iceberg Tracker for hidden refills, a Stop Runs Tracker and a Sweeps Tracker. It works for futures through a Rithmic connection only; dxFeed support is in development.^[2][3] According to an ATAS announcement of November 2, 2026, the MBO Bundle becomes a paid add-on to the Ultra plan on the ATAS Marketplace around the end of November 2026. Ultra subscribers on 1-month, 3-month or 1-year plans keep it at no extra cost as long as auto-renewal stays on; turning auto-renewal off removes access, and it can then only be bought on the Marketplace. Ultra Lifetime keeps it with no time limit and no conditions.^[5] The ATAS pricing page says "Available until November 27, 2026 only" and that access "may become paid for all subscription types, unless agreed otherwise".^[2]

What this means for you: ATAS MBO Bundle becomes a paid add-on: how to keep it at no extra cost

Best for: everyone. Learn these first; they are the baseline every other option builds on.

JSI sells specialised ATAS tools on the Marketplace. The Cluster Constructor scans each candle through a library of 15+ filter modules and lets you build and visually back-test custom footprint patterns.^[6] The Smart Profile Assistant is a session-based volume profile tool listed at €200 one-time and requires ATAS Pro or Ultra.^[7]

Best for: traders who want to define their own footprint patterns.

We could not verify other names that circulate in forums (for example "ProfitPro" or "deepcharts") as ATAS Marketplace products on November 2, 2026, so we do not rate them.

The PFT Market Suite is six native ATAS indicators sold as monthly subscriptions. One subscription covers ATAS Classic and ATAS X, and after checkout you are added as a subscriber on the ATAS Marketplace without manual file installation. The PFT Market Suite bundle is listed at €120 per month · net instead of €180 for the six single indicators. PFT Odyssey is sold separately.^[8]

The Suite is built around context rather than the raw tape: Market Matrix (session bias), Structure Map (swings, BOS, CHoCH), Range Matrix (how much of the typical range is used), Correlation Engine (does the related market confirm or disagree), MagicZones (fixed reference zones) and the Institutional Detector (large exchange trades, sweeps, absorption and rejection levels).^[8]

PFT states that the tools are analytical decision-support instruments, do not tell you when to enter, and do not guarantee profitability.^[8]

Best for: ATAS traders who already read footprint and want a consistent pre-trade checklist across sessions.

Less suited for: traders who want raw MBO data (that is the ATAS MBO Bundle) or who need a one-time purchase instead of a subscription.

• New to ATAS: start with the built-in Footprint, Cluster Search and Delta/CVD. They come with every plan.^[2]
• You trade large-order reactions: ATAS Big Trades first; PFT Institutional Detector if you also want daily absorption and rejection levels and a dollar volume profile.^[1][8]
• You need hidden-order data: ATAS MBO Bundle, with Ultra and Rithmic.^[2][3]
• You want your own footprint rules: JSI Cluster Constructor.^[6]
• You want session context before you look for an entry: PFT Market Matrix, Range Matrix and Correlation Engine.^[8]

• One subscription, both ATAS versions. PFT states on its page that one subscription covers ATAS Classic and ATAS X and is activated on your existing ATAS account.^[8]
• Context indicators with a stated job. Range Matrix compares the current range with past sessions for Asia, London and New York separately; Correlation Engine compares your chart with a second instrument over four lookback periods.^[8]
• Everything is switchable. Structure Map gives equal highs and lows, prior day and week levels and sessions their own on/off switches.^[8]
• The bundle price is stated. €120 per month · net for six indicators instead of €180.^[8]
• Honest limits. The tools do not signal entries; the decision stays with you.^[8]

If you want raw MBO data or one-time-purchase tools, another option on this list fits better.
