This is what your terminal looks like — on every screen
No graphics, no montage: real recordings with a demo account. Four charts side by side on the big screen, the bot setup on the laptop, leveraged trading on the tablet, the app on the phone.
The terminal in action
Click by click through the terminal
Keep scrolling: the pointer opens the menus and shows what is behind them — layouts, timeframes, chart types, indicators, tools, the three panels, bots, Command Center, replay and time bar.

Two exchanges, 23 timeframes, one picture
MEXC and Binance run separately down to the seconds level — both with real volume from the trade stream instead of approximations. You switch in the chart.

This is what a bot trade looks like in the chartEntry → target / stop
The bot draws every trade into the chart: a blue arrow at the entry, a green dot at the target, a red one at the stop — with the percentage. That is exactly how you see it in the terminal, also back through the history. Two winners, one loser — that is what trading looks like.
Market overview
The whole market at a glance
Two heatmaps, the radar and the sentiment: what is going on right now, where liquidations might be waiting and which bot has its weather right now.
Real recording · market heatmap, 24 hours
Market heatmap
Every coin a tile: large when it is heavily traded, green or red by price change.
All coins in three baskets: Majors, Meme and all others
Change over 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days
One click brings the coin into the chart
The chart coin's tile ticks in step with the chart
Sentiment below the watchlist
Liquidation heatmap ESTIMATE
Estimated from Binance's open interest and buy and sell flow: where many positions were opened, their liquidation prices sit at the usual leverage of 10× to 100×. Once the price reaches a level, it is gone.
Period from 12 hours to 2 years
Zoom and pan like in the candle chart, crosshair with price and amount
Real liquidations as dots on top
Side map: what is still waiting at each price level, long below, short above
An estimate, not exchange data. No exchange publishes where its traders' liquidation prices are. So we compared the estimate with real liquidations from OKX: on all five coins tested, it predicted when and on which side liquidations happen clearly better than the price movement alone. So far one day has been tested; we are repeating the cross-check with our own recordings over several weeks.
The radar does not predict prices. It reads sensors that are not contained in the price and shows whether the conditions under which a bot used to earn money are present right now.
Bot weather: good, mixed, bad or no verdict, for every bot
Buying pressure BTC: are impatient traders buying or selling, compared with the past year
For information: Fear & Greed, open interest, funding and liquidations
Tests26
Held up after cross-check1
Demo test until01/2027
A display, not a trading signal. In our study only one sensor predicted anything: buying pressure on BTC, for the Donchian bot on 4h, in the learning and test period and cross-checked with ETH. A demo test running until January 2027 checks whether that holds in the future. The radar changes nothing about your bots.
Demonstration · simulated data. The bounds of the thirds slide with the past year.
Each one runs as its own background service with its own check interval. All are configured through forms, can be backtested and trade exclusively in simulation.
Grid
Sideways market
Lays a price grid over the market and trades the gaps: buys at the lower lines, sells at the upper ones. It lives from fluctuation, not from direction.
Foundation
Price grid, fixed lines
Suits
Calm sideways phases
Upper and lower bound and number of lines freely selectable
Result of each open grid line visible separately
Own service, checks every two seconds
The price swings; at every grid line it buys or sells.
A grid whose net comes along. When the price rises above the top line, everything is sold — then the net moves up, at no cost, because nothing is open. If the price falls below the net, a second net of the same width can open directly below, and it closes as soon as the upper one trades again.
Foundation
Price grid, moves along
Suits
Large coins in an uptrend
Step when moving: 1 to 100 % of the net width
Up to nine tiered nets below, with templates
Spacing in percent: even after a tenfold rise, every round stays above its costs
The price breaks out at the top and the net moves up. If it falls, net 2 opens below.
Tested on the Majors — the twelve large coins, with leverage 1 and no liquidation. On smaller coins it did not hold up. So far it only runs in the demo account.
Does not buy all at once but in steps. Each step moves the average price of the position — so the counter-move needed to turn the position into profit becomes smaller.
Foundation
Follow-up buy levels
Suits
Pullbacks in an uptrend
Several levels with their own spacing and size factor
Adds several signals up into one number: MACD, RSI and the Ehlers SuperSmoother form a score. It only trades when that is clear enough — not on every bit of noise.
Foundation
MACD, RSI, Ehlers
Suits
Clear impulse moves
Higher timeframe filters against the higher trend
Parameter search across timeframes and thresholds
Time stop closes positions that stay open too long
Three indicators add up to a score — it only trades above the threshold.
Looks at three timeframes at once: the trading level for the entry, a middle one for the tendency, a high one for the trend. The stop follows the measured volatility instead of a fixed percentage.
Foundation
VWAP, EMA, RSI, ATR
Suits
Trends with pullbacks
Entry only when the timeframes agree
ATR stop, capped between 0.1 and 1.5 percent
Trailing target and break-even protection
Three timeframes at once. Entry only when all of them point the same way.
Watches the highest high and the lowest low of the last N periods. When the price breaks out of this channel, that counts as the start of a trend. A classic, very simple method — and robust precisely because of that.

Higher timeframes
Channel length, trailing and volume filter adjustable
Trend filter prevents entries against the direction
Few entries, but longer holding times
As long as the price stays inside the channel, nothing happens. The breakout triggers the entry.
Five opinions instead of one: several independent sub-strategies assess the situation, and it only trades with a sufficient majority. Whoever was wrong recently gets less weight.
Foundation
Five weighted experts
Suits
Changing market phases
The majority threshold decides how much the experts must agree
Weights adapt to the most recent hit rate
Every single opinion stays traceable in the log
Five experts vote. Without a majority, nothing is traded.
Two halves, one direction: one follows the trend — in as long as the price is above its EMA and BTC plays along. The other buys short pullbacks in the uptrend and sells on the first recovery. Long only, ideally on all twelve large coins at once.
Foundation
EMA trend, RSI(2), BTC market weather
Suits
Longer upward phases
Decides at the candle close — 4h, 6h, 12h and 1d held up
Market weather: only in when BTC is above its EMA (10 to 300, default 200)
No fixed stop: the exit is the rule itself
The green background means the trend half is in; ▲ marks a pullback buy, ● the recovery.
The robot button at the top opens the list of all bots, also with the B key. Search, filter, compare: every row says what our study found about this bot, even when it is nothing good.
The beginner setup asks one thing after another; costs and details stay on default until you need them. The six questions are the same for all eight bots — shown here with the Trend Guard.
1Choose a bot
Eight bots, one setup
The robot button at the top opens the bot window: search, filters and the study badge for every bot. Expand a bot to see the presets; one click opens the setup with these values.
Grid, Dynamic Grid and DCA for nets and buying the dip
Confluence, Scout, Donchian, Quorum for signals
Trend Guard: trend + pullback, long only
2Question 1 · What to trade?
Pick a coin, give it a name
On the right you see “This bot” from the start — everything you are setting up, at a glance. Plus the timeframe; the direction is set by the Trend Guard: long only.
3Question 2 · How much?
Margin, leverage, buffer
You enter your own margin and the leverage. Below, the setup calculates right away: volume, at which price it would be liquidated and how much of the bot account is committed.
4Question 3 · How to trade?
Three presets instead of many fields
Calm, Standard or Fast — one click is enough. Right below it shows exactly how this setting would have done on the coin over the last twelve months. You can change single values in “Expert” mode.
5Question 4 · When to get out?
The exit — clearly named
Stop-loss, target, trailing — or, as with the Trend Guard, the rule itself. What does not apply to a bot is shown crossed out instead of silently missing.
6Question 5 · Test first
One click runs all the numbers
Pick a period, then one button calculates fact sheet, backtest and basket in turn — with real prices, fees and slippage as measured live.
7The verdict
One sentence that tells you where things stand
Holds the setting — or not. Below it the fact sheet: profit, hit rate, deepest drawdown, worst streak and how much leverage would still be safe.
8The basket
The same setting on twelve coins
If it only works on one market, you will see it here — before real money is involved. Each row can be opened as a curve.
9Question 6 · Start
You start exactly what was tested
As a demo bot with play money — or live through your own exchange keys, with confirmation, emergency stop and limits.
10It runs
The card shows what it is thinking right now
In the bots panel: trend half in or out, market weather, RSI(2), key data. Pause, edit or stop at any time.
Live means real money. This mode exists, but it is not what this platform is for. Let a bot run in demo mode for weeks first and watch how it behaves in bad phases — not just in good ones.
Set volatility, margin and leverage and see how stop, target, fees and distance to liquidation follow from them. The same calculation is behind every position in the terminal.
In demo mode the path ends in the simulated account. Anyone who wants to trade for real later stores exchange keys — they are kept encrypted and never leave the server.

The methodology
No black-box hocus-pocus
What is behind the ratings is laid out openly here. Check it — that is worth more than any profit figure.
Confluence score
Many small signals — trend, RSI, volume, position in the range — are weighted and added up into one number. Higher timeframes count more. It only trades when this number crosses a threshold, not on every twitch.
Ehlers SuperSmoother
A filter from digital signal processing, a two-pole Butterworth low-pass. It smooths price noise without lagging as much as a simple moving average. The basis of the oscillator in the chart.
ATR risk management
The stop follows the actual volatility: Stop = ATR × factor, limited to 0.1 to 1.5 % of the price. Volatile market → wider stop, calm market → tighter one. A fixed percentage would be wrong in both cases.
Trailing instead of hard target
Hard means: at the target it closes, done. Trailing means: at the target a trailing stop is activated and the winner may keep running until the price comes back. One locks in, the other allows big moves.
Several timeframes
A rating on the 5-minute level is checked against the 1-hour and 4-hour levels. That way a bot does not trade against the higher trend just because the small timeframe happens to look like it.
Walk-forward and over-optimisation
The biggest risk in backtesting is called curve fitting: parameters are tweaked until they fit the past — and then fail in the present. To counter this, the history is split: optimised on one half and tested on the other; a stability measure also feeds into the rating. That reduces the problem. It does not solve it.
Frequently asked questions
Briefly answered
Is FoundLux Terminal Pro free?
Yes. It is a free demo and simulation platform. You start with 10,000 USDT of demo balance with no real monetary value.
Do I need real money?
No. Everything is paper trading. At no point is real money or crypto used, transferred or put at risk.
Where do the prices come from?
From MEXC and Binance. Both sources are kept separate — down to the seconds level with real volume from the trade stream. You can switch between them in the chart.
Which trading bots are there?
Eight: Grid, Dynamic Grid, DCA, Confluence Engine, Scout Engine, Donchian Channel, Quorum Engine and Trend Guard. Each is configured through forms, can be backtested and runs purely as a simulation.
Do I need programming skills?
No. Symbol, timeframe, leverage, stop and target are set in forms. Backtest and parameter search run at the push of a button.
Are good backtest figures a promise?
No, and that is the most important sentence on this page. Backtests are historical simulations. What worked in the past can lose immediately in the live market. That is exactly why there is a risk-free environment here — for learning, not as a promise of profit.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Terminal and website are built for mobile devices. There is also FoundLux Premium, an installable app for accounts, bots and positions.
