ATAS, Quantower, DeepCharts or Tradesea: Which Prop Firms Actually Support Order-Flow Charting

Footprint charts, volume profile and tick-level market replay are order-flow tools, and MetaTrader does not run any of them. Futures traders who want that level of detail generally run a dedicated platform such as ATAS, Quantower, DeepCharts or Tradesea alongside their prop firm's own trading platform. The harder question is not whether the tool has the feature, it is whether your specific firm's data feed will let you connect it at all. We checked what each vendor actually publishes about its own prop-firm partnerships, and matched every name against our own firm database rather than assuming a match.

What each platform actually offers

See the head-to-head breakdowns on ATAS vs DeepCharts, DeepCharts vs Quantower and our best trading platform ranking for the full spec sheets behind this table.

ATAS: 5 named firms

ATAS names The Trading Pit, BluSky and FunderPro as partnered firms on its own prop-firm connections page, alongside Vision Trade Futures and Trade OPM, neither of which is a firm in our own database, so we have not linked either name. Source: atas.net/connections/prop-firms.

Quantower: 12 named firms

Quantower's connections page lists the largest partner set of the three: Apex Trader Funding, Bulenox, Earn2Trade, Elite Trader Funding, Funded Futures Network, Leeloo Trading, Phoenix Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader and Topstep. Three more names on the same page, OneupTrader, Phidias Propfirm and TickTick Trader, are either not in our firms table or not currently publishable on our site, so they are named here as text only.

DeepCharts: no published partner list

We checked deepcharts.com for a prop-firm partnerships page and found none. Its own connections documentation covers retail brokers and Italian banking integrations (Interactive Brokers, Directa, Sella, IWBank, WeBank) rather than futures prop firms. That does not mean no firm supports it, only that DeepCharts itself does not make the claim anywhere we could verify, so we record the field as unverified rather than assuming zero. See the full DeepCharts tool page for what is and is not confirmed.

Tradesea: firm-distributed, 9 named firms

Tradesea is a different case entirely: its own product description states there is no direct-to-consumer signup and no public pricing, it is distributed exclusively through partner prop firms, brokers and funding evaluators. Its partnerships page names Lucid Trading, Tradeify, Halcyon Trader Funding, BluSky and YRM Prop as firms we track; EdgeProp, FundedSeat, FundYourEdge and Edmond Trader Funding are not in our own database, so they are named as text only. Practically, if your firm is not one of the 5 linked above, Tradesea may not be reachable as a self-serve purchase at all. Source: tradesea.ai/partnerships.

The Rithmic shortcut, and why it is not the same answer

All four platforms connect to Rithmic in some form: it is Tradesea's only data feed, and it appears in ATAS's and DeepCharts's connector lists and in Quantower's long broker list. Rithmic is also the data feed behind a large share of the futures prop firms we track on our own Rithmic firms page. That technical overlap is real, but it answers a different question than the partner lists above: a Rithmic connection tells you the platform can technically receive your firm's data feed, not that your firm's own rules permit running third-party charting software against a live evaluation or funded account. The vendor partner lists above are each firm choosing to be named; a shared data feed is not that same confirmation.

Methodology

Every price, feature flag and partner-firm name above is read from our own tool_specs table, each row carrying the vendor's own source URL and a verification date, checked live this session. Fields we could not find a sourced answer for (Quantower's market replay, all three Tradesea feature flags, Tradesea's own pricing) are left unverified rather than filled in or estimated. Every firm name from a vendor's list was checked against our own firms table by exact name match; only firms we hold as live, publishable pages are linked, and unlinked names are quoted exactly as each vendor spells them.

Disclosure

PropFirmMap is not a commercial partner of ATAS, Quantower, DeepCharts or Tradesea. None of the four pays us a commission, and their inclusion here is based solely on their own published prop-firm partnerships, independent of any partnership status.

Frequently asked questions

Does having a Rithmic-fed firm guarantee I can use ATAS or Quantower?
No. Rithmic connectivity is a technical prerequisite, not permission. Confirm directly with your firm whether third-party charting platforms are allowed on an evaluation or funded account before connecting one.

Why is DeepCharts not listed with any prop firms?
Because it does not publish a prop-firm partnerships page. That is recorded as unverified in our data, not as zero support, since a firm could support it without either party publishing the connection.

Can I buy Tradesea directly if my firm is not one of the 5 linked above?
Our data shows no public, direct-to-consumer pricing or signup for Tradesea; its own description states distribution is exclusively through partner firms, brokers and evaluators.

Do footprint charts or volume profile break any prop firm's trading rules?
Our data does not show any firm restricting order-flow charting itself; these are read-only visualisation tools, not automated execution. Always confirm against your specific firm's own rules page rather than assuming from another firm's policy.
