On this page
ATAS is one of the most established order-flow platforms on the market — deep footprint customization, a large community and years of feature depth. Senzoukria is a newer, lighter platform built around the same order-flow primitives — footprint, delta, imbalance, absorption — at a flat $29/month, with a read-only NinjaTrader bridge that reuses the Rithmic feed you already run. This page compares both honestly so you can pick the right tool for your setup, not the one with the loudest marketing.

What ATAS does well
ATAS is arguably the deepest standalone order-flow suite on the market. Its footprint and cluster charts support extensive per-cell customization, its imbalance and absorption detection can be tuned in detail, and it ships a large marketplace of community indicators built over years. Prop-firm traders and prepared discretionary traders who want to configure every threshold themselves are well served by ATAS — it rewards the time invested in learning it.
Where Senzoukria fits
Senzoukria is a native desktop app (Windows; macOS and Linux in beta) at a flat $29/month — one plan, no per-exchange add-ons. If you already trade a Rithmic account through NinjaTrader (including a Rithmic-type Apex account), the read-only NinjaTrader bridge reads your existing NinjaTrader feed locally, with no proxy and no extra credentials, so you keep your existing setup. Footprint, delta, imbalance, absorption and CVD are there out of the box, along with a liquidity heatmap. Senzoukria also includes a GEX dashboard; GEX on US equity options uses your own Alpaca or ThetaData key. The feature surface is smaller than ATAS, so there is less to configure before your first chart.
Which should you choose?
If you want the single deepest, most configurable footprint suite and you're prepared to spend time learning its settings — or you rely on ATAS's custom-indicator marketplace — ATAS is the more complete tool. If you trade a Rithmic account and want footprint, delta, absorption and a GEX dashboard in one $29/month plan, Senzoukria is built for exactly that. Read our footprint chart guide and imbalance guide to see the primitives both platforms are built on.
Migration / setup
Moving over — or just running both side by side — takes minutes. Install the Windows installer (about 60 MB), then either drop the single read-only NinjaScript bridge file into your existing NinjaTrader instance or sign in with your Rithmic credentials directly inside the app, if your account is enabled for Rithmic's R | Protocol API (one market-data session per login). Nothing to export from ATAS. Manual orders are available only on the direct Rithmic connection, and strategy automation is paused on real accounts. Apex prohibits automated trading on all account types, so on Apex use manual orders only. The full comparison hub covers Bookmap, Sierra Chart and Quantower too if you're weighing more than one option.
Try it on your own feed before deciding — download Senzoukria or see full pricing. $9 for 14 days, then $20 the first month and $29 a month after, locked while your plan stays active.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Senzoukria a good ATAS alternative?
- Yes, if what you want is footprint, delta, imbalance and absorption on your existing Rithmic feed at a lower, flat price. Senzoukria is $29/month, locked while your plan stays active, after $9 for 14 days and $20 for the first month, and can read your NinjaTrader feed locally through a read-only bridge. If you rely on ATAS’s deepest customization or its indicator marketplace, ATAS remains the more complete suite.
- Can I use Senzoukria with my Apex account instead of ATAS?
- Only with a Rithmic-type Apex account. Apex sells Rithmic, Tradovate and WealthCharts accounts; Rithmic-type accounts can connect, and Tradovate and WealthCharts accounts cannot. Senzoukria connects two ways: through a read-only NinjaTrader bridge (one NinjaScript file reads your existing NinjaTrader feed locally, with no extra credentials) or by signing in with your Rithmic credentials directly inside the app, if your account is enabled for Rithmic’s R | Protocol API (one market-data session per login). Apex prohibits automated trading on all account types, so use manual orders only on Apex.
- How much does ATAS cost compared to Senzoukria?
- Senzoukria is a single flat plan at $29/month. ATAS has a free Start plan and paid plans up to €89.95/month (Ultra). Real-time futures start with the Pro plan at €69.95/month, or €39.95/month billed annually, excluding VAT. Plans change, so check atas.net/pricing for current numbers.
- Does Senzoukria have everything ATAS has?
- No. ATAS has a broader set of tools, a large custom-indicator marketplace and years of feature depth. Senzoukria focuses on core order-flow tools (footprint, delta, imbalance, absorption, CVD and a liquidity heatmap) in one $29/month plan. Senzoukria also includes a GEX dashboard; GEX on US equity options uses your own Alpaca or ThetaData key.
