What Is LuxAlgo?

LuxAlgo is a trading technology company. We built Vela, our next-generation charting platform: state-of-the-art charts for every market, with Quant, our coding agent, built in, and the largest indicator library in trading. LuxAlgo was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Boston. It's free to start at luxalgo.com.

• Vela runs in the browser at vela.luxalgo.com. Its charts are engineered in-house and cover crypto, US stocks and ETFs, forex, and commodities on every plan, including Free, plus live CME futures on every paid plan.
• Paper Trading gives every trader on Vela a $100,000 paper account. Trade from the chart with stops, targets and sizing by risk, against live prices, with no broker and no real money.
• Quant is our coding agent and the intelligence inside LuxAlgo, built into Vela. It reads your chart, writes and repairs indicator and strategy code, proves it against history, and runs what you approve. Ask in your own words; no code required.
• The Library is the largest indicator library in trading, with 800+ indicators. Free indicators come with every plan, and the full Library with every paid plan.
• Orderflow is built from real trades on every plan, including Free: footprint and TPO charts, volume profiles, delta, and more. What scales with your plan is Orderflow lookback, from 1 day on Free to full history on AI Ultra.
• Plans: Free, Essential, Premium, Ultimate, and AI Ultra. Quant usage, Orderflow lookback, Custom Alerts, and chart history grow with each tier.
• Open source: we started in the open and have published free, open-source indicators since 2020. PineTS, our open-source Pine Script® runtime, is how Pine Script® runs on LuxAlgo. The open-source core of Vela by LuxAlgo, the charting library behind Vela, lives at velacharts.dev, with its developer docs on this site.

How it fits together

The platform is layered: in Vela, a workspace is your saved setup, charts live inside it, and Quant operates on whichever chart is active.

1. Workspaces: your saved setup. It holds charts, layout, drawings, indicators, and panels like the watchlist. Everything autosaves, and a workspace can be shared as a copy. The Journal sits beside that setup and keeps trades on your account.
2. Charts: symbols, timeframes, multi-chart layouts, drawings, indicators, native order flow (footprint and TPO chart types, volume profiles, and delta tools), bar replay, and paper trading from the chart.
3. Data: LuxAlgo market data. Crypto, US equities, forex, and commodities on every plan, including Free; live CME futures on every paid plan. Candles everywhere, plus order-flow footprints on crypto, US equities, and CME futures. No exchange accounts or API keys needed.
4. Quant: our coding agent. It writes and repairs indicator and strategy code for the active chart, working from a written request or a screenshot, and backtests strategies against the chart's history. It also sets up the chart and marks it up at prices read from the chart's own bars. The code is real Pine Script® you can inspect and edit, and it runs on LuxAlgo through PineTS, our open-source runtime.

Alerts

Price Alerts and Custom Alerts watch price, indicator and strategy conditions on Vela. Price Alerts are unlimited on every plan; Custom Alert allowances depend on your plan. Quant can help set up a Custom Alert, and Essential and above include webhook automation.

Strategy Screener and its older alerts retire on November 14, 2026. See Screener alerts and retirement for existing alerts and replacement steps.
