At a glance
LuxAlgo and Horizon do different jobs. LuxAlgo is an indicator and signal toolkit for reading charts on TradingView: it tells you when a setup appears and leaves the trade to you. Horizon takes a rule written in plain English and runs it: backtest, paper, then live through your broker. Traders who like LuxAlgo's signals can describe the same rule to Horizon and let it execute.

Choose Horizon if
- You want the rule to trade itself, through your own broker, without you watching the chart.
- You want a backtest that replays the strategy bar by bar, then a paper run, before real money.
- You want to copy strategies that creators are running live, or publish your own.
- You would rather describe a rule in plain English than tune indicator settings.
Choose LuxAlgo if
- You trade by hand on TradingView and want richer signals and alerts on the chart.
- You want an analysis toolkit, not an execution platform.
