Data

Where chart data comes from, which markets support order flow, and history limits by plan.

Charts use LuxAlgo market data: candles plus a live stream, delivered by one provider that sits in front of several venues. You don't connect exchange accounts or API keys.

Free covers crypto and US equities (including ETFs). Premium, Ultimate, and AI Ultra add forex, commodities, and CME futures.

There are two kinds of data behind the chart, and they matter for which tools run where:

  • Candles: OHLC and volume per bar. Every market has them, and everything candle-based (chart types, most indicators, TPO, VWAP, Visible Range Volume Profile) works everywhere.
  • Footprints: 1-minute slices of volume-at-price and per-side trade counts. Only some venues provide them, and only the tools that need them are restricted. A footprint is not a trade tape or an order book; it's a pre-aggregated summary of executed volume at each price.

What runs where

Order Flow tools that need footprints only run on crypto and US equities. On forex, commodities, and futures those tools warn instead of silently drawing a blank series, so a missing plot always has an explanation.

Three order-flow-family tools are exceptions because they're computed from candles: TPO, VWAP, and the Visible Range Volume Profile work on every market.

Sessions

Where a symbol has a trading calendar (US equities, for example), the bottom bar can switch between:

  • RTH: regular trading hours, the main session only.
  • ETH: extended trading hours, including pre-market and after-hours activity.

The choice affects what the chart shows and therefore everything computed from it. Session-based tools like TPO read differently on RTH vs ETH.

History limits

How much history a chart can load depends on your plan, measured in bars (so a lower timeframe covers less calendar time):

AI Ultra50,000

Footprint history has its own, separate limits by plan. See the note in Order Flow.
