ATAS Data Connection: How to Connect the TAI-PAN Data Feed to ATAS
Connecting TAI-PAN to ATAS: Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Are you using the professional trading platform ATAS and need reliable, fast market data? With the TAI-PAN real-time data feeds, you get the highest data quality directly in your ATAS charts. This guide shows you how to set up the connection in just a few clicks.
What is ATAS – and why does it need a data feed?
ATAS (Advanced Trading Analytics Software) is a professional chart and trading platform used primarily by futures traders for order-flow analysis. The platform offers market and volume profiles, DOM heatmaps, footprint charts and detailed bid/ask evaluations.
Important: ATAS does not provide real-time market data itself. The platform depends on external data feed providers that deliver current prices, tick data and order book information in real time.
The official ATAS documentation lists accepted data feed providers in its knowledge base under "Connectors". TAI-PAN by Lenz + Partner is officially listed there – with its own setup guide and demo registration page.
TAI-PAN – officially supported data feed for ATAS
Lenz + Partner and ATAS have an official data feed integration. TAI-PAN is listed in the ATAS Connector knowledge base and can be set up directly within the platform – without any third-party software.
What makes TAI-PAN stand out as an ATAS data feed:

Setup guide: connecting TAI-PAN to ATAS
The setup is straightforward and can be completed in just a few clicks. Please have your TAI-PAN login credentials ready – customer number / ID and password – which you received from us via email.
Open the Connections Manager
Start your ATAS software and click on Connections in the main menu.
Tip: If you have old connections that are no longer needed, you can delete them here first for a better overview.
Add TAI-PAN as a data feed
Click the Add button in the connections window. A list of all supported data providers will open. Select Taipan and click Next.
Connections → Add → Taipan → Next Enter your login credentials
Fill in the three fields in the connection form:
- Name: Assign a unique name for the connection (e.g. "Tai-Pan Realtime")
- Customer number / ID: Enter your TAI-PAN ID from our email
- Password: Enter your corresponding password
You can also find your customer number at any time in the TAI-PAN customer portal.
Establish the connection
Click Finish and then click the Connect button. The status will now change to "Connected". You can now close the connections window and directly open your first chart.
Sometimes, after the initial setup, the time in the chart might be shifted (e.g. by 2 hours). Here is how you can fix this time zone error in seconds:
- Go to Settings in ATAS and select Time Zones.
- You can set the time zone either by "Exchange" or by "Symbol".
- Find the corresponding exchange (e.g. Eurex) in the list. If there is a "0" everywhere under the shift column, click directly into the field.
- Select "Local Time Zone" from the drop-down menu.
- The shift (e.g. "2" for two hours) will now be set correctly automatically – your chart will display the exact current trading time again.
