What it shows

A fast answer to one useful question.

A mirrored range funnel over the last 20 H1 bars with a bold compressed / typical / expanded verdict, the current range value, and its plain-language percentile against the recent window.

H1 candle high/low · last 20 bars · one symbol.
Pick the instrument with symbol=; it defaults to BTCUSD when you omit it.
Renders inside a sandboxed Shadow DOM, so it cannot collide with your page’s CSS or scripts.

What the gateway serves itSIMULATED PREVIEW

Gateway kind: ohlc
Symbol axis: One symbol, set from the embed
Allowed: BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD
Default: BTCUSD
Pinned timeframe: H1
Pinned limit: 20
Refresh: ~15 s, cached

Every value here is what the gateway enforces, not a description of it. A parameter outside this scope is rejected before any data is fetched.

Where it fits

Small enough for a sidebar. Useful enough for a homepage.

Volatility Squeeze is a compact derived-data module rather than a full dashboard. It works best where you want one concise market observation with a clearly stated data basis.

Embed it

One script tag. No chart library. No build step.

Subscribe, authorize the domains that will host the widget, copy your public wk_ key, and paste the snippet where you want Volatility Squeeze to render.

Subscribe & authorize domains

Your subscription includes 1 domain slot. Add more slots when the same widget needs to run on more sites.

Copy the public widget key

The wk_ key is meant to appear in the page source. It is restricted to the domains you authorize and can be revoked.

Paste the embed

Choose your theme and symbol, then drop the generated script tag into the page.

<script
  src="https://tickatlas.com/widgets/embed.js?w=volatility-squeeze&k=wk_YOUR_KEY&symbol=BTCUSD"></script>

Light is the default, so the snippet stays clean. Dark appends &theme=dark; Auto appends &theme=auto and follows each visitor’s system preference. Picking one re-renders the preview above in that theme.

Embed parameters

Small configuration surface. Predictable output.

The querystring on the embed.js script tag stays intentionally compact. Most sites only need the widget slug, the public widget key, a symbol and a theme.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
w	string	Yes	Widget slug — fixed to “volatility-squeeze” for this widget.
k	string	No	Your public wk_ key. With it the widget goes live on your authorized domains; omit it for the SIMULATED preview (synthetic data, zero network). Default: preview mode.
symbol	symbol	No	The symbol to display, uppercased. Must be within the widget’s allowed set. Allowed: BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD. Default: BTCUSD.
mode	enum	No	Force preview even with a key, e.g. for a staging page. Allowed: live, preview. Default: live when k is present, else preview.
theme	enum	No	Colour theme. light (default) is today’s look; dark uses a WCAG-AA dark palette; auto follows each visitor’s system (prefers-color-scheme). Omit for light. Allowed: light, dark, auto. Default: light.

Default symbol

Omit symbol= and the gateway serves BTCUSD.

BTCUSD

Allowed instruments

Set symbol= to any one of these 4.

Under the hood

Public embed key outside. Short-lived access inside.

The browser-facing key is domain-scoped by design. The embed exchanges it through our gateway, calls the hosted widget endpoint with short-lived authorization, and renders inside an isolated Shadow DOM.

CSS isolation

A sandboxed Shadow DOM with all:initial keeps your page’s styles and scripts out and the widget’s styles in. It fits its container’s width, never wider.

Domain authorization

The public wk_ key only renders on domains you add to the subscription, and you can revoke it from your dashboard at any time.

Cached refresh

It refreshes about every 15 seconds against cached data, so many visitors collapse onto one computation. Over the per-key / per-domain limit the gateway returns 429 and the widget keeps its last frame.

Graceful failure

No current data, a revoked key or an unauthorized domain all produce an explicit “unavailable” state — never a fabricated or zeroed value, and never a thrown error on your page.

$14.99 per month

1 domain slot = $14.99 base subscription. Slots are fixed at purchase; manage domains and your key from your dashboard.

Data contract

The embed has a simple hosted endpoint behind it.

The embed calls this endpoint for you on each refresh, using a short-lived token minted from your wk_ key — your key never leaves the gateway.

Endpoint parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
symbol	symbol	No	Single-series widgets: one symbol, within the allowed set. Allowed: BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD. Default: BTCUSD.
timeframe	enum	No	Candle timeframe. Allowed: M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1. Default: H1. This widget pins it to H1.
limit	integer	No	Number of most-recent candles returned. Allowed: 1–500. Default: 100. This widget pins it to 20.

Set symbol on the embed to any one of this widget’s allowed symbols (BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD); it defaults to BTCUSD if omitted. A symbol outside this set is rejected by the gateway before any data is fetched, and the widget shows its “unavailable” state.

Frequently asked

Before you embed it.

What the widget reads, how preview mode works, and what happens when data is temporarily unavailable.

Which symbol does it track?

One symbol per embed from BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, or GBPUSD.

What does compressed / typical / expanded mean?

The current H1 range's percentile against its last 20 bars — a descriptive read, not a breakout forecast.

How often does it refresh?

The 20-bar window updates as each H1 bar closes; polling is ~15-second cached with the last verified frame held on a gap.

Is it free to preview?

Yes, synthetic and keyless; the live widget is a paid subscription.
