Anouncing New Fast-Track 7-day Free Trial: Go from Stage 1 to 5 in 5 Days + 1 Full Week of VIP Trading

by

🚀 ATS Free Trial Updated: 7 Days – Faster Progress, Real Results

The ATS Free Trial is now 7 days — redesigned for traders who are serious about progression,
execution, and results.

The previous structure slowed traders down. Progression between stages was too spaced out,
and workspace access was restricted — delaying real learning and real trading experience.

Now, everything is streamlined. You can move through Stage 1 to Stage 5 in just a few days,
then spend the majority of your trial where it matters most:
real trading and execution in VIP conditions.

⚡ What’s Changed?

  • ✅ 7-day Fast-Track trial designed for focused progression
  • ✅ All Zero to Hero workspaces unlocked rapidly
  • ✅ Complete Stage 1–5 progression in ~5 days
  • ✅ Maximum time spent in Stage 5 (VIP trading mode)

📈 Why This Is Better for Traders

The objective is simple: build capable traders faster.

  • Accelerated Learning Curve
    No delays between stages — maintain momentum and build skill quickly.
  • Execution-Focused Training
    Spend most of your trial applying the system, not waiting to unlock it.
  • Real Market Application
    Work toward prop firm evaluations, PA accounts, live trading,
    or refine your edge in SIM/demo.
  • Built for Serious Traders
    This structure filters for commitment and progression — not passive trial users.

🧠 Zero to Hero – Fast-Track Structure

Start your journey here:

👉 https://algotradingsystems.net/getstarted

  • ✅ Stage 1: AFT Trade Signals + Automated Exits (WS1) Day 1
  • ✅ Stage 2: AFT Hybrid Auto Trades + Automated Exits (WS2)Day 2
  • ✅ Stage 3: AFT Multi Time Frame + Hybrid Trading (WS3)Day 3
  • ✅ Stage 4: AlphaWebTrader + AFT MTF Hybrid Trading (WS4)Day 4
  • 🏆 Stage 5: VIP Trading (Evaluation, Prop, or Live – NinjaBuddy)Day 5 → Day 7
  • 🏁 End of Trial: Upgrade to VIP or downgrade to Freemium
    Begin Pro Level trading journey

🎯 The Key Advantage: Time in Stage 5

The biggest improvement is simple:
you spend the majority of your trial in VIP trading conditions.

This is where traders:

  • Apply the system in real market conditions
  • Work toward prop firm evaluations
  • Trade PA or live accounts
  • Or stay in SIM/demo to build consistency and confidence

This is where transformation happens — not in theory, but in execution.

⚠️ Important Note

This update applies to new trial users only.
Existing users will continue under their current trial terms.

🏁 Final Thoughts

The 7-day trial isn’t shorter — it’s smarter and more effective.

It removes friction, accelerates learning, and focuses your time where it matters most:
real trading, real decisions, real progress.

If you’re serious about trading, this structure will take you further, faster.

Turnkey workspace fully automated futures trading algo baselines

Download Workspace 5 for VIP traders and free trialists:
https://account.algotradingsystems.net/Secure/Downloads

Purpose of BaseLine Algo Systems

Educational: This is for sim/demo trading and allows a trader to tweak a copy of the baseline algos to their trading style and compare back to the running baseline algos stats, etc. It runs fully automated on a server in sim/demo mode, providing baseline statistics and trading data. Traders should save a copy of algorithm settings, make adjustments, and compare results against these baselines. Once configured, the system operates 24/7 on a server with NinjaTrader connected; no license is required in NT8 sim/demo modes.

Installation and setup take just one minute. Workspace 5 can be installed immediately, but accounts will need to be added within the NinjaTrader control center.

Assessment: Weekly and monthly assessments ensure optimal performance—avoid live trading prematurely to mitigate recency bias!

Time to Market: A minimum evaluation period of 3 months to 1 year is advisable for fully automated trading with the settings and variants a trader has created to suit their trading plan and are tested.
