Since Atlas started back in 2009, we’ve held 10 Pie Parties each year (we go dark in November and December). They are simple events designed to be an open dialogue with the attendees. As the name suggest, guests are served pie and beverages as we discuss the topics du jour. Covid-19 shut these down last year, but we started them back up at the end of March in a

Our proprietary algorithm processes figures from billions of dollars trading hands during market hours here in America. Scouring the globe for useful data can be exhausting.
