Free Trial Accounts
FairTicks Free Trials let you experience the simulated trading platform before purchasing a full paid Training Account. They provide real platform access inside a limited trial lifecycle, but they do not create Qualified Account progression or payout eligibility.
A Free Trial is a platform test drive. Use it to experience the trading interface, simulated market behavior, account rules, risk visibility, contracts, and account lifecycle before choosing a paid Training Account.
What is a Free Trial Account?
A Free Trial is a limited simulated account created from one of the FairTicks Free Trial templates.
Each newly created Free Trial currently receives a 7-day validity period.
The trial exists for platform discovery and product testing. It is separate from the paid Training lifecycle.
Free Trial = limited simulated platform test.
Paid Training Account = evaluation account that can progress toward Qualified Account generation when its requirements are satisfied.
The core Free Trial rules
Under the current standard policy, a trader can create one Free Trial per eligible trial type. Each new trial receives 7 days. An eligible expired trial that was never used for trading can receive one restart for another 7-day period.
| Rule | Current standard Free Trial behavior |
|---|---|
| Initial validity | 7 days |
| Creation limit | 1 Free Trial per eligible trial type |
| Unused-trial restart | Maximum 1 restart on the same eligible expired trial |
| Restart duration | 7 additional days from restart confirmation |
| Qualified Account generation | Not available |
| Payout | Not available |
| Paid reset | Not available |
| Discipline free reset | Not available |
| Paid extension | Not available |
| Bundle lifecycle | Not applicable |
Which Free Trials are currently available?
FairTicks currently has four standard 50K Free Trial templates.
| Free Trial | Related model | Simulated capital | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Trial Rapid 50K | Rapid | $50,000 | 7 days |
| Free Trial Challenge 50K | Classic | $50,000 | 7 days |
| Free Trial Precision 50K | Discipline | $50,000 | 7 days |
| Free Trial Instinct 50K | Instinct | $50,000 | 7 days |
Free Trial templates can evolve. Review the selected trial's Rules, Account Snapshot, expiration information, and available actions inside FairTicks for the exact configuration attached to that trial.
One Free Trial creation per type
Under the current self-service policy, a trader can create one Free Trial for each eligible trial type.
The creation limit is tracked separately by trial type.
You create a Free Trial Rapid 50K.
That uses your current Rapid trial creation allowance.
You cannot later create a second separate Rapid Free Trial through the standard self-service creation flow.
Your eligible Challenge, Precision, and Instinct trial creation allowances remain separate.
Creating a trial and restarting an eligible expired trial are different actions.
The creation limit determines whether a new trial account can be created. The restart limit determines whether the same previously created trial can receive another 7-day period.
What you can do on a Free Trial
A Free Trial is intended to give you meaningful access to the FairTicks trading experience.
Depending on the selected trial configuration, you can use it to:
- Explore the FairTicks trading interface.
- View supported simulated market data.
- Open and close simulated positions under the trial's account rules.
- Experience NANO, MICRO, and MINI contract controls where available.
- Review Maximum Exposure behavior.
- Experience Daily Loss where enabled.
- Experience EOD Maximum Loss where enabled.
- Experience Intraday Trailing Drawdown where enabled.
- Review Stop Loss and planned-risk behavior where applicable.
- See FairTicks risk monitoring and near-breach states.
- Compare the behavior of different FairTicks account models before purchasing.
What is blocked on a Free Trial?
Free Trials intentionally block lifecycle actions that belong to the paid evaluation and payout pathways.
| Action | Free Trial status | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Paid reset | Blocked | Free Trials do not use the paid Training reset lifecycle. |
| Discipline free reset | Blocked | The paid Discipline free-reset pathway does not apply to Free Trials. |
| Standard extension | Blocked | Free Trial periods use their dedicated trial lifecycle. |
| Qualified generation | Blocked | Free Trials cannot become the source of a Qualified Account. |
| Payout request | Blocked | Free Trials are not payout-enabled accounts. |
| Bundle Qualified outcome | Not applicable | Free Trials do not participate in the paid bundle Qualified-generation lifecycle. |
Free Trial vs paid Training Account
| Area | Free Trial | Paid Training Account |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Explore and test FairTicks. | Complete an evaluation that can progress toward Qualified generation. |
| Starting cost | Free | Paid product |
| Validity | 7 days | Depends on the selected paid account family. |
| Trial restart | One eligible unused-trial restart. | Not applicable |
| Paid reset | Not available | Depends on account family and eligibility. |
| Extension | Not available | Available only on supported eligible Training models. |
| Qualified generation | Not available | Available after an eligible Training pass and generation process. |
| Payout | Not available | Available later only from an eligible payout-enabled account. |
What happens if you reach the target on a Free Trial?
Reaching a displayed target can be useful as a personal practice milestone, but it does not transform the Free Trial into a paid evaluation or Qualified Account.
You trade a Free Trial Challenge 50K.
During the 7-day trial, you satisfy the displayed simulated target.
The result can help you understand how you performed under that trial configuration.
The Free Trial still remains a Free Trial. It does not generate a Qualified Account and does not create payout eligibility.
Free Trial PnL is simulated trial activity. It cannot be withdrawn, transferred into a paid account, or converted into Qualified payout profit.
What happens when a Free Trial expires?
Each newly created Free Trial currently has a 7-day validity period.
When the applicable deadline is reached, the trial can move into its expired lifecycle.
After expiration:
- Normal trading on that trial is unavailable.
- Standard paid extension is unavailable.
- Standard paid reset is unavailable.
- Discipline free reset is unavailable.
- The trial cannot generate a Qualified Account.
- The trial cannot request payout.
- If the account satisfies the dedicated unused-trial restart requirements and has not already used its restart, the same trial can receive another 7-day period.
Can a Free Trial be restarted?
Yes, but only through the dedicated Unused Free Trial Restart lifecycle.
This is not a normal reset and it does not create a second trial account. It reactivates the same eligible trial for another 7-day period.
Current restart requirements
- The account must be a Free Trial.
- The trial's original validity period must have ended.
- The account must be in a restart-eligible lifecycle state.
- No position may ever have been opened on that trial.
- The trader must remain eligible to use the account.
- The associated Free Trial template must remain available.
- The trial must not have already used its one allowed restart.
Each eligible Free Trial can use at most one restart.
The restart provides another 7 days from restart confirmation.
Original Free Trial: 7 days
Positions ever opened: 0
Original trial expires.
Restart previously used: No
Result: the trial can be eligible for one additional 7-day period.
If a position has ever been created on the trial, the unused-trial restart pathway is no longer available for that account.
Original period + restart period
The current maximum lifecycle for an eligible never-traded Free Trial is therefore:
Original period: 7 days
Maximum restart: 1 × 7 days
Maximum number of trial periods on that same account: 2 periods
The second 7-day period is a restart of the same account. It is not a second Free Trial creation allowance.
What happens if a Free Trial breaches?
A Free Trial can still be subject to the hard-risk rules enabled in its trial configuration.
If an applicable hard-risk rule is breached,
the trial can move to BREACHED.
After a breach:
- Normal trading is unavailable.
- Open positions can be closed through the official breach process.
- Standard reset is unavailable.
- Standard extension is unavailable.
- Qualified generation is unavailable.
- Payout remains unavailable.
- The unused-trial restart is not available because the account was used for trading.
The restart feature exists to recover a trial that expired before the trader actually tested FairTicks. It is not a retry mechanism after trading loss or breach.
What if I used my trial?
Once you open a simulated position, you have used the Free Trial for its intended purpose: testing the FairTicks trading experience.
If that trial later expires, the dedicated unused-trial restart is no longer available for that account.
To continue exploring FairTicks, you can use another trial type for which you still have a creation allowance, or choose a paid Training Account.
Free Trial Consistency
Under the current standard Free Trial configuration, Training Consistency is disabled.
A trial can still display performance analytics where available, but Consistency does not create Training-to-Qualified progression because Free Trials cannot generate Qualified Accounts.
Free Trial and payout rules
Free Trials are not payout-enabled accounts.
The following Qualified payout conditions therefore do not turn a Free Trial into a payout account:
- Qualified Profit Days.
- Qualified minimum age.
- Payout Consistency.
- Profit-share progression.
- Payout capacity.
- Payout reserve.
- KYC for payout.
Performing well on a Free Trial does not convert trial PnL into eligible payout profit.
Choosing a paid account after your trial
Use the trial to understand which FairTicks structure fits the way you actually trade.
| If you prefer... | Consider... |
|---|---|
| A faster evaluation, no standard Daily Loss, and a short fixed window | Rapid |
| A balanced structure with Daily Loss, EOD Maximum Loss, and 40% Training Consistency | Classic |
| A more structured model with Daily Loss, EOD Maximum Loss, 40% Training Consistency, and additional planned-risk controls | Discipline |
| A focused trailing model, no Training Profit Day requirement, and No practical expiry | Instinct |
Common mistakes to avoid
| Mistake | Correct understanding |
|---|---|
| Thinking you can create two Free Trials per type | The current self-service limit is one creation per eligible trial type. |
| Thinking you can restart the same trial twice | The current restart limit is one restart per eligible trial account. |
| Thinking restart creates another Free Trial account | Restart reactivates the same eligible account. |
| Opening a trade and expecting the unused-trial restart later | A trial that has ever opened a position is not eligible for the unused-trial restart. |
| Thinking a Free Trial can generate Qualified | Free Trials never generate Qualified Accounts. |
| Thinking trial profit can be withdrawn | Free Trial PnL is simulated trial activity and cannot be paid out. |
| Assuming Free Trial can use standard extension | Free Trial uses its own restart lifecycle rather than paid extension. |
| Assuming a breached Free Trial can be restarted | The restart is reserved for an expired never-traded trial. |
| Forgetting that Instinct has a Free Trial | Current trial templates include Rapid, Challenge, Precision, and Instinct. |

How many times can I restart the same Free Trial?
Once. The current maximum is one eligible restart per trial account.

The restart gives the eligible trial another 7-day period.
Can I restart after opening a trade?
No. The unused-trial restart requires that no position has ever been opened on the trial.
Can I restart after a breach?
No. A breached trial has already been used for trading and does not qualify for the unused-trial restart.

No. Standard paid extension is not available on Free Trials. Use the dedicated restart only when its requirements are met.
Can I reset my Free Trial?
No. Standard paid reset and Discipline free reset do not apply to Free Trials.
Can a Free Trial generate a Qualified Account?
No. Free Trials cannot generate Qualified Accounts, even if a displayed target is reached.
Can I request a payout from a Free Trial?
No. Free Trials are not payout-enabled accounts.
What happens if I make a large simulated profit on the trial?
The result remains simulated trial activity. It cannot be withdrawn or transferred into Qualified payout eligibility.
Does Free Trial use Training Consistency?
No. Under the current standard Free Trial configuration, Training Consistency is disabled.
Is there an Instinct Free Trial?
Yes. The current standard templates include Free Trial Instinct 50K.
Can I directly upgrade my Free Trial into a paid account?
The Free Trial and paid Training Account are separate account lifecycles. To enter the paid evaluation path, purchase the Training product you want.
