# 3.2 Allocation Trading Agents (ATAs)

An ATA is the on-chain wealth management layer for depositors who want managed exposure across multiple strategies rather than direct configuration of a single vault.

A depositor sets their risk parameters once, including target allocation, maximum drawdown tolerance, and acceptable strategy types, and the ATA dynamically manages their capital across the available pool of published STAs. It reallocates based on live performance, drawdown signals, and correlation between active strategies.

The ATA is how maicrotrader functions as an on-chain wealth management platform rather than a single-strategy product. Strategy creators get a distribution channel. Depositors get a portfolio rather than a position. The MAE runs the logic for both.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maicrotrader.com/3.-how-maicrotrader-works/3.2-allocation-trading-agents-atas.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
