Vela for desktop. ## Vela, on every monitor Our next-generation charting platform, as an app for macOS, Windows and Linux. State-of-the-art charts in windows of their own, your watchlist in the menu bar, and Quant, our coding agent, a keystroke away. - Open Vela in your browser: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart - Vela for desktop, the launch film (0:48): https://www.luxalgo.com/videos/download/launch-film.mp4 ## Sixteen charts. One crosshair Split a window into as many as 16 charts and link them. Move the crosshair, change the symbol or the interval, or draw a line, and every linked chart follows. - **Crosshair.** One moment, marked on every chart. - **Symbol.** Change the market once, everywhere. - **Interval.** Step every chart to the same timeframe. - **Drawings.** A line drawn once appears on each chart. Free with a LuxAlgo account. Without one, Vela opens a single chart. ## Set up the way you work Signed in, each saved workspace opens in its own window, and when Vela opens again, your windows come back where they were. Every window holds all of Vela, Quant and the Library included. - **Quant writes it. Your chart runs it.** Ask Quant, our coding agent, for an indicator. It writes the Pine Script®, and the indicator runs on your chart through PineTS, our open-source runtime. - **800+ advanced tools, one search away.** The largest indicator library in trading lives inside Vela. Search it by name, concept or alias, read what each tool does, and put it on your chart. Charting a Library tool takes a free account. - **Your watchlist and your chart, side by side.** Open your watchlist in a tab of its own from the +: how many of your markets are up today, how they’ve moved over time, and each one at a glance. Right-click a chart’s tab and choose Split with current tab to keep the two side by side, then swap sides from the same menu. - **Prices in your menu bar.** Your watchlist, with live prices, opens from the menu bar on a Mac and from the tray on Windows and Linux. Pin up to three markets to keep their prices in view, and click a row to open that market on your chart. - **The keyboard belongs to the chart.** Every Vela shortcut works, and so do the keys a browser keeps for itself. Press ? on any chart for the full list. (New chart window: ⌘N on a Mac, Ctrl+N on Windows and Linux; Open a copy in a new window: ⇧⌘N on a Mac, Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows and Linux; Next window: ⌘` on a Mac, Ctrl+Tab on Windows and Linux; Ask Quant: ⌘J on a Mac, Ctrl+J on Windows and Linux.) - **Alerts on your desktop.** When a Price Alert or Custom Alert that notifies you in-app fires, your computer shows it as a notification, with the alert’s name, the market and the price. Click it, and the chart opens on that market and interval at the moment it fired.

Vela is free to start, in the app and in your browser, and your LuxAlgo account and plan are the same in both. ### Do I need an account? No. Without one, Vela opens in a single chart window, with a default watchlist in the menu bar. Sign in, and each of your saved workspaces can open in its own window, with your own watchlists. ### Is it signed? Yes. The Mac app is signed with the Apple Developer ID of LuxAlgo Global, LLC and notarized by Apple, and the Windows installers are signed by LuxAlgo Global, LLC. Every file’s SHA-512 is listed with the downloads. ### How does Vela update? By itself. New versions download in the background and install when you restart or quit Vela, never in the middle of your session, and Vela checks every update’s signature before it installs it. On Linux, the AppImage replaces itself, and the .deb and .rpm ask for your password first. ### Which Linux download should I use? The AppImage runs on most distributions without installing anything. The .deb is for Debian, Ubuntu and their relatives, and the .rpm for Fedora, openSUSE and theirs. Each comes for x64 and Arm64, and all three keep themselves up to date. ### Which Mac download do I need? Apple silicon for a Mac with an M-series chip, Intel for older Macs. In the Apple menu, About This Mac lists a Chip for Apple silicon and a Processor for Intel. ### Does Vela start with my computer? Only if you ask it to. Turn on Open at login in Vela’s settings, and Vela opens with your windows when you log in. ## The easiest charts you’ll ever switch to Download Vela for desktop, or open it in your browser.
