# About LuxAlgo | The AI Trading & Charting Platform

> LuxAlgo is the AI trading & charting platform: state-of-the-art charts, real-trade orderflow, the largest indicator library in trading, and Quant, our coding agent. Founded in Boston in 2020, used by 100,000+ traders.

LuxAlgo is the AI trading & charting platform: state-of-the-art charts with QuantCharts, our coding agent for strategy development built in, and the largest indicator library in trading with 800+ advanced tools. Founded in Boston in 2020 and used by 100,000+ traders.

## What LuxAlgo does

- QuantCharts (https://www.luxalgo.com/features/charts/): state-of-the-art charts engineered in-house on Vela™, our open-source charting engine. Every market, every chart type, 66 drawing tools, multi-chart workspaces, every LuxAlgo tool built in. Free for everyone.
- Quant (https://www.luxalgo.com/features/quant/): our coding agent. It reads your chart, writes and repairs indicator and strategy code, and proves it against history.
- Orderflow (https://www.luxalgo.com/features/orderflow/): footprints, volume profiles, TPO, and delta, built from real trades on every plan, including Free.
- The Library (https://www.luxalgo.com/library/): the largest indicator library in trading, 800+ free indicators, each a single step from a backtested strategy. Also an MCP server for AI agents.
- Backtesting (https://www.luxalgo.com/features/backtesting/): any strategy Quant writes, or any Pine Script® you bring, tested against years of history in one window.
- Vela™ and PineTS (https://www.luxalgo.com/vela/, https://www.luxalgo.com/pinets/): our open-source charting engine (Apache-2.0) and Pine Script® runtime for JavaScript, free to use and commercially licensable.

## What makes us different

- Orderflow on every plan, including Free: built from real trades; what scales with paid tiers is lookback, from one day on Free to full history on AI Ultra.
- A coding agent inside the chart: Quant sees and controls the chart it works on, writes and repairs code, inspects the result, and backtests in the same window.
- The largest indicator library in trading, free with attribution, and readable by AI agents over MCP.
- Open source at the core: Vela™ and PineTS are public repositories with tens of thousands of installs a month.
- Straightforward terms: free to start, no credit card; paid plans monthly or annual, cancel anytime, 30-day money-back guarantee on the first payment.

## Our path of progress

- 2020: Founded on open-source roots. LuxAlgo begins as a small team of developers and traders publishing open technical analysis tools, built for the charting platforms traders already lived on.
- 2023: The front of technical analysis. Hundreds of tools published, dozens of publisher awards, and a following of millions of traders across the open charting community.
- 2024: The Backtesting Assistant. We launch our backtesting platform, built to advance what honest, bias-free strategy testing could be. The same year, our team is recognized in TradingView®’s Pine Script® Wizards program for our open-source community scripts.
- 2026: Quant. We launch Quant, our coding agent: it reads the chart, writes and repairs indicator and strategy code, and proves it against history.
- 2026: PineTS. We acquire PineTS, bringing Pine Script® execution outside TradingView®, now at thousands of installs weekly across the open-source developer community.
- 2026: QuantCharts. We launch QuantCharts, state-of-the-art charting engineered in-house on Vela™, our open-source charting engine, with the full Orderflow suite built from real trades and every LuxAlgo tool built in.
