Every hour, for every market, Atlas says one of three things. The page at /atlas explains all three.
GO. The thing Atlas waits for has actually shown up. It publishes a direction and the exact prices, before the move happens. Then it gets graded against those exact prices later.
WAIT. Something is forming, but it is not there yet. Atlas shows what it is watching and what would have to happen next. No call until it does.
STAND DOWN. There is nothing worth doing. Sit out.
What direction means
A call has one of two directions.
One is a call that the price will rise. On the record this is written LONG.
The other is a call that the price will fall. On the record this is written SHORT.
That is all those two words mean. A bet that it goes up, or a bet that it goes down. They sound like insider language. They are not.
What is missing from all three
None of the three answers is buy or sell.
Atlas never tells anyone to buy or sell anything. It says what it sees and grades itself on it. What you do is yours.
Try this now
Scroll to THE CALL LOG on the record. Every row is one call. Find one marked LONG and one marked SHORT.
You do not need to understand the prices yet. Just see that both exist, and that both are sitting there in public.
