Free trial accounts
Free trial accounts let you test the FairTicks simulated trading platform for a short period before purchasing a full Training account. They are real trial accounts with platform access, but they are deliberately limited.
A free trial is a test drive of the platform. It lets you experience the trading interface, market data, FairTicks rules, contracts, risk visibility, and account behavior. It is not a path to payout or Live account generation.
What is a free trial account?
A free trial is a limited simulated Training account created for testing purposes. It uses a configured free trial template and gives you access to the FairTicks trading environment for a short validity period.
Free trials are designed to help you understand how FairTicks feels before you buy a full paid account.
Free trial = short platform test.
Paid Training account = full evaluation path that can progress toward Live generation when eligible.
The core free trial rules
A free trial is limited to 3 days, and cannot be reset, extended, converted into Live, or used for payout.
| Rule | Free trial behavior |
|---|---|
| Validity | 3 days |
| Live generation | Not available |
| Payout | Not available |
| Paid reset | Not available |
| Free reset | Not available |
| Extension | Not available |
| Bundle usage | Not part of bundle lifecycle |
Which free trials are available?
FairTicks free trials are currently configured as 50K trial accounts across the main account families. Exact values can evolve over time, so your dashboard remains the source of truth for the trial shown to you.
| Free trial | Family | Capital | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Trial Rapid 50K | Rapid | $50,000 | 3 days |
| Free Trial Challenge 50K | Classic | $50,000 | 3 days |
| Free Trial Precision 50K | Discipline / Precision | $50,000 | 3 days |
The values shown in your dashboard are the official values for your free trial. Always check the account details, rules, expiration date, and available actions inside your dashboard.
One free trial per account family
Each trader can create one self-service free trial per account family. This means you can have one Rapid free trial, one Classic free trial, and one Discipline / Precision free trial.
You create a Free Trial Rapid 50K.
Later, that trial expires or breaches.
You cannot create another Rapid free trial from self-service.
You may still be able to create a Classic or Discipline / Precision free trial if you have not used that family yet.
Free trials are designed to let traders test each account family once. The limit prevents unlimited free trial loops and keeps the trial system fair.
What you can do on a free trial
A free trial gives you access to the FairTicks trading experience. You can use it to understand how the platform behaves before purchasing a full Training account.
- Test the trading interface.
- View live market data inside the simulated environment.
- Open and close simulated positions according to the trial rules.
- Use contracts such as NANO, MICRO, and MINI according to the trial configuration.
- Experience risk visibility, near-breach warnings, and account status behavior.
- Understand how Daily Loss, Max Loss, Trailing Drawdown, Stop Loss, and other rules behave where enabled.
- Compare Rapid, Classic, and Discipline / Precision trading styles before buying.
What is blocked on a free trial
Free trials deliberately block lifecycle actions that belong to paid Training or Live / Straight accounts.
| Action | Free trial status | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Paid reset | Blocked | Free trials are not paid evaluation attempts. |
| Free reset | Blocked | Free trials cannot be restarted into repeated unpaid attempts. |
| Extension | Blocked | The 3-day trial period is fixed. |
| Live generation | Blocked | Free trials are not eligible to create Live / Straight accounts. |
| Payout request | Blocked | Payouts are only available from eligible Live / Straight accounts. |
| Bundle outcome | Not applicable | Free trials are standalone trial accounts, not bundle accounts. |
Free trial vs paid Training account
Free trials and paid Training accounts may feel similar inside the trading interface, but they are not the same lifecycle product.
| Area | Free trial | Paid Training account |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Test the platform | Complete the evaluation path |
| Validity | 3 days | Depends on model, such as 15 or 30 days |
| Reset | Not available | Available only if eligible |
| Extension | Not available | Available only if eligible |
| Live generation | Not available | Available after passing, if eligible and processed |
| Payout | Not available | Only later from eligible Live / Straight accounts |
What happens if you reach the target on a free trial?
Reaching a target on a free trial can be useful as practice, but it does not create payout eligibility and it does not create a Live / Straight account.
You use a Free Trial Classic 50K.
You trade well and reach the simulated target during the 3-day period.
This shows that you understood the platform, but the free trial still remains a trial.
It does not generate a Live account and does not create payout eligibility.
Free trial profit is simulated trial progress only. It stays inside the trial and cannot be withdrawn or converted into a Live account.
What happens if a free trial expires?
Free trials have a fixed 3-day validity period.
If the trial reaches the end of that period, it can become EXPIRED.
Once a free trial is expired:
- Trading is disabled on that trial account.
- The trial cannot be extended.
- The trial cannot be reset.
- The trial cannot generate Live.
- You can purchase a full Training account if you want to continue.
What happens if a free trial breaches?
If a free trial violates a hard risk rule, it can become BREACHED.
This works like a normal account breach in terms of status and trading access, but without reset or Live progression.
Once a free trial is breached:
- Trading is disabled on that trial account.
- Open positions can be closed through the official breach process.
- The trial cannot be reset.
- The trial cannot be extended.
- The trial cannot generate Live.
Can a free trial be reactivated?
No. A free trial is a limited one-time test for that account family. Once it expires, breaches, or completes its short trial lifecycle, it cannot be reactivated through reset or extension.
If you want to continue after a free trial, choose a full paid Training account. You can choose the same family you tested or a different model that fits your trading behavior better.
Choosing the right paid account after a trial
Use the free trial to understand how you behave under FairTicks rules. The goal is not only to see whether you can make profit, but also whether the account model fits your trading style.
| If your trial experience showed... | Consider... |
|---|---|
| You prefer speed and no Daily Loss rule | Rapid |
| You want a balanced framework with Daily Loss and Stop Loss structure | Classic |
| You felt the 3-day trial was too short to judge properly | A full paid Training account with longer validity |
Common mistakes to avoid
| Mistake | Why it creates confusion | Better understanding |
|---|---|---|
| Thinking a free trial can generate Live | Free trials are test accounts, not evaluation-to-Live products. | Use a paid Training account for the Live path. |
| Waiting until Day 3 to test seriously | The trial is short and can expire quickly. | Test the platform as soon as the trial is created. |
| Assuming free trials can be reset | Reset is blocked on free trials. | Treat each free trial family as a one-time test. |
| Assuming free trials can be extended | The 3-day validity is fixed. | Purchase a full Training account if you need more time. |
| Confusing trial profit with withdrawable profit | Trial profit is simulated and not eligible for payout. | Payouts are only for eligible Live / Straight accounts. |
Common questions
“Can I extend my free trial?”
No. Free trials have a fixed 3-day validity period and cannot be extended.
“Can I reset my free trial after a breach?”
No. Free trials cannot be paid-reset or free-reset.
“Can I request a payout from a free trial?”
No. Payouts are only available from eligible Live / Straight accounts. Free trials are not payout accounts.
“Can a free trial generate a Live account?”
No. Free trials do not generate Live / Straight accounts, even if the trial performs well.
“Can I have two Rapid free trials?”
No. The self-service limit is one free trial per family per user. After using a Rapid free trial, you cannot create another Rapid free trial through the normal trial flow.
“Can I have one Rapid, one Classic, and one Discipline / Precision free trial?”
Yes. The limit is one per account family. You can test each family once if the free trial is available to you.
“What if I get really profitable on a free trial?”
Free trial profit remains simulated trial progress. It does not create payout eligibility and does not create a Live account.
“Does a free trial use the same market data?”
Free trials are designed to let you experience the FairTicks trading environment and market behavior. The exact market access and available features are shown in your dashboard.
“Can I upgrade my free trial directly into a paid account?”
A free trial is separate from a paid Training account. To continue, purchase a full Training account from the account model you want.
“Does using a free trial affect my paid account later?”
A free trial does not become your paid account and does not generate Live. However, your broader FairTicks user-level metrics may reflect recent trading activity where applicable.
Summary
Free trials are short, limited test accounts. They help you experience the FairTicks platform before buying a full Training account. They are useful for learning the interface, testing account families, and understanding the rules.
The most important rule is simple: free trials are for testing, not for payout or Live generation.
One per family, 3 days, no reset, no extension, no payout, and no Live generation.
Free trials are test drives, not Live paths.
Use them to understand the platform and choose the right account model. To continue toward Live, purchase a full paid Training account.
Not sure which paid account to choose after your trial?
Review your trial behavior, account family, risk comfort, and time preference. If you are still unsure, contact support before purchasing.
