Metalex Terminal
Professional-grade precious metals intelligence for serious traders.
What they needed to solve
Metalex needed a Bloomberg-grade terminal for precious metals traders — but one that independent traders and small funds could actually use without a six-figure subscription. The platform had to stream live spot prices for XAU, XAG, XPT and XPD, surface AI-generated trade signals, display real-time order book depth, visualise futures curves, and aggregate market news from multiple sources — all in a single interface that worked seamlessly across desktop and mobile. Existing tools were either too expensive, too slow, or too generic. They needed a custom solution built fast.
How we solved it
Real-Time Data Architecture
WebSocket feeds from MetalpriceAPI and TradingView deliver sub-second spot prices, bid/ask spreads, and volume data across all four metals — no polling, no lag.
AI Signal Engine
Custom signal layer analyses RSI, STOCH, MACD, moving averages, and cross-metal correlations to generate live buy/hold/sell recommendations with confidence scores.
Terminal-Grade Mobile UX
Full terminal functionality on mobile — not a dumbed-down app. Every data panel, chart, and signal view is optimised for the phone without losing information density.
Everything that was built
Live Spot Prices
Real-time XAU, XAG, XPT, XPD spot prices with bid/ask/spread, VWAP, open/high/low, and volume — updating every second via WebSocket.

Curated news aggregation from Yahoo Finance, Gold Telegraph, and Medium — filtered by metal relevance, sentiment-tagged, and ranked by market impact.
Technical Indicators
RSI, Stochastic, Williams %R, CCI, MACD, ADX, and Bollinger Bands — all calculated in real time with configurable periods.

Full-featured mobile view with the same data density as desktop — spot prices, technicals, charts, and signals in a thumb-friendly layout.
We've tried every metals terminal out there. Metalex is the first one that gives us Bloomberg-level data without the Bloomberg price tag — and it works perfectly on mobile. FastLaunch built it in 2 weeks.
