Setup

1. Get your API key from Tradeways

In Tradeways, click Add Trades (top-right) → Auto Sync → ATAS Indicator. A new API key is created for you and shown once — copy it. You can also create one manually in Settings → Integrations.

New keys grant access to all your trading accounts by default, so you don't need to copy any account ID.

2. Install the Tradeways module in ATAS

Most users should install the module from ATAS directly:

Open the ATAS settings menu via the gear icon in the top bar.

Choose Custom Modules from the dropdown.

In the Available Modules list, click Install next to Tradeways.

Click Apply to confirm. ATAS will install the module.

Manual indicator file

If the Tradeways module is not available in ATAS yet, or support asks you to install the file directly, use the manual download instead:

1. Download the latest Tradeways indicator file.
2. In ATAS, open Settings → Custom Modules.
3. Use the custom module file option and select the downloaded Tradeways.dll.
4. Click Apply, then restart ATAS if the indicator does not appear immediately.

Use the ATAS module list when it is available. The manual file is the same indicator, but updates are easiest when ATAS can manage the module for you.

3. Add the indicator to a chart

Open any chart and click the Indicators button on the chart toolbar.

Search for Tradeways, paste your API key into the API Key field on the right, then click Add to chart.

The Tradeways Account dropdown fills automatically from your API key.

4. Choose how trades are routed

The Tradeways Account dropdown has two kinds of entries:

• A specific account — every fill on this chart is journaled to that one Tradeways account, no matter which broker account it came from. Best when one ATAS install maps to one Tradeways account.
• Automatic — separate by account — each broker account you trade is journaled to its own Tradeways account, matched by the broker's account ID. Best when you run several prop or live accounts from one ATAS install. When a broker account is first seen, Tradeways reuses an active non-demo account with the exact same name or creates a new destination account, then remembers the mapping.

On Automatic, the indicator reports your broker accounts to Tradeways the moment it connects and whenever you switch accounts — so you can pre-assign where each one lands in Settings → Integrations before the first trade arrives. See Connected broker accounts.

That's it — fills now sync to Tradeways in real time. To review every option, see Settings.
