Success story #4: Anderson Luiz - from zero coding skills to $1,500+ monthly in sales on cTrader Store
From learning to code out of curiosity to publishing tools used by traders worldwide - Anderson Luiz (VegaXLR) turned his passion for trading and problem-solving into a growing business on cTrader Store.
From curiosity to creation
Anderson Luiz, known as VegaXLR on cTrader Store, is a 33-year-old developer from Brazil. His trading journey began six years ago, driven by curiosity and a desire to invent practical tools.
“I’ve always wanted to be some kind of inventor - to find solutions that help me and others. The challenge of creating something useful, and the satisfaction of seeing it work, is what keeps me learning.”
At first, he studied trading strategies and watched countless videos. But soon he realised that many of his ideas required tools that didn’t exist. Hiring a developer wasn’t an option, so he decided to learn coding himself.
Starting with free cBots from the cTrader community, Anderson analysed their code, modified them, and experimented. In this hands-on way, he learned C# and cTrader Algo far faster than any course could teach.
Why cTrader
Anderson’s choice of platform was straightforward:
“I liked its modern look and built-in features. And later, I discovered the power of cTrader Algo.”
In 2025 he began publishing his own cBots and indicators on cTrader Store. Since then, his products have already earned him over $1,500 on the marketplace - funds he reinvests directly into his own trading.
A rule of trust
Anderson follows a guiding principle in his development:
“I only create and sell tools that I use myself, so I’m sure they’re truly useful. I never wanted to mislead anyone or sell magical solutions. That doesn’t exist.”
This approach ensures quality and has built strong trust among traders.
Featured products
Every product Anderson publishes is first tested in his own trading. That’s why his tools have earned the trust of other traders - they’re created with real use in mind. Here are some of his standout solutions:
Risk Manager
Automatically manages lot size based on defined risk, for both pending and market orders.
Fixed Range Volume Profile
Displays the volume profile of a chosen range, helping traders identify key support and resistance levels.
Moving Average Alerts
Provides alerts for moving average events such as crossovers, direction changes, and price interactions.
Unlimited Trendline Alerts
Tracks breakout, bounce, and touch events across unlimited trendlines, including horizontal and vertical lines.
VegaXLR – Fixed Range Volume Profile
One of Anderson’s standout tools is the Fixed Range Volume Profile - a charting solution that helps traders visualize where most trading activity occurred within a selected range. Simply draw a rectangle over the area you want to analyse, and the indicator displays horizontal bars at each price level, revealing zones where buyers and sellers were most active.
It automatically highlights three key lines:
- POC (Point of Control): the price level with the highest traded volume.
- VAH / VAL (Value Area High / Low): boundaries that show where most of the trading took place.
These lines act as powerful support and resistance levels, allowing traders to identify significant market zones at a glance. The tool also supports alerts and automation: you can trigger actions when the price reaches key levels - such as starting or stopping bots, closing positions, or sending alerts via sound, pop-ups, Telegram, or email. Every aspect of the indicator is customizable, from how detailed the profile appears to how the alerts behave, making it one of Anderson’s most flexible and practical tools.
Looking ahead
For Anderson, cTrader Store is more than a marketplace - it’s a place to share his creations, earn funds for his own trading, and inspire others to learn coding.
“The cTrader Store is improving over time and becoming more popular. It’s easy to use and a great way to find useful tools.”
Final thoughts
Anderson Luiz’s story shows how persistence, curiosity, and hands-on learning can transform an idea into a business. From analysing free cBots to publishing products and earning over $1,500 on cTrader Store, his path is proof that traders can become creators - and creators can build thriving businesses.
