As an active forex trader, one of the factors I always evaluate with any broker, including ATAS, is the structure and transparency of overnight financing charges, also known as swap fees. However, from my research and direct experience reviewing ATAS, it's clear that ATAS itself is not a typical forex or CFD broker but rather a multi-broker trading analysis platform. Its core offering is professional order flow, trading volume, and market depth analysis, primarily delivered through its proprietary Windows-based software. It integrates with different exchanges, particularly for cryptocurrencies, and provides connectivity for futures and stocks, but it does not directly execute trades as a principal broker. Because ATAS does not operate as a broker holding client funds or offering leveraged forex accounts, it doesn’t charge its own swap fees. Instead, any overnight financing costs would be determined by the underlying broker or exchange the user connects to via ATAS. This distinction is important for me as a trader, as it means swap fee competitiveness depends on the policies of the external brokerage firms, not ATAS itself. If you're considering using ATAS, it’s critical to separately verify the overnight financing rates with your chosen underlying broker. In my view, while ATAS can be a solid tool for market analysis, its risk profile is heightened by the lack of financial regulation and the absence of direct swap fee structures. I always prioritize transparency and regulation when it comes to trading costs, so I would approach ATAS carefully, especially when comparing it to established, regulated brokers who clearly outline their swap fee rates.
