Same job, three desks

How to read the table
LuxAlgo is huge. Trading Alpha is a trend/squeeze desk. APX is five public scripts and a paid screener. A LuxAlgo alternative and a Trading Alpha alternative are different jobs. Competitor names live on this page only. We do not claim their features, and we do not ship order blocks or an AI builder.
| Job | LuxAlgo | Trading Alpha | APX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shape | Huge library. SMC / price action. AI / Quant. Best if you want SMC + a catalog. | Trend bars, R/T, HTF/LTF squeeze, custom RSI. Closest product shape to APX. | Five public scripts: Flow, APX Net Vol, Bernoulli Break, Venturi Break, and APX RSI. Screener is the paid desk. Small suite. |
| Bias | Many scripts in the catalog | Trend bars, R/T | Flow — bar color, micro dots, R T B |
| Control | Not covered in these notes | Not covered in these notes | Net Vol, own pane under price |
| Trigger | Catalog of breakout / PA tools | HTF and LTF squeeze | Bernoulli (DWM) or Venturi (SMH). Never both on one chart. |
| Check RSI | Depends on the script you add | Custom RSI | APX RSI — regular fade, hidden continue, skip a 70 |
| Scanner | Library / platform tools | Not the APX desk | Screener included with Starter and Pro |
| Not in APX | Order blocks, FVG, ICT, BOS/CHoCH, AI strategy builder | — | We do not ship order blocks, FVG, ICT, BOS/CHoCH, or an AI strategy builder. We do not claim them. |
Who should pick which desk?
SMC and a big catalog → LuxAlgo.
Trend + squeeze desk with a closer product shape → Trading Alpha or APX.
Five public scripts and the paid Screener as one desk → APX.
APX does not ship Smart Money Concepts tools. If you need order blocks or fair value gaps, APX is the wrong desk.
