# Step 3. Start Trading with ATAS

Since we have connected the CryptoData demo quotes and the CryptoSIM demo account, you can now try opening a trade without any risk to your deposit. To do this, use the Chart Trader module — the main interface for trading directly on the chart in the ATAS platform. We will walk you through the key features of this interface and help you place your first trade on the demo account.

By default, the Chart Trader panel is hidden. To open it on the active chart, click on the label in the bottom right corner of the screen or use the shortcut key "T."
