Algo Trading Systems has restarted its Self-Assisted Free Trial pathway following a major reboot and restructuring of the ATS Universal Account, Launchpad, onboarding systems and trader journey.

Eligible traders can once again create a free ATS Universal Account, complete the required onboarding stages and request an available full-feature ATS trial through their personal Launchpad.

Why ATS Temporarily Paused Self-Assisted Trials

ATS temporarily suspended new Self-Assisted Free Trials while we reviewed and rebuilt the systems surrounding account access, onboarding, product licensing, education, support and trial activation.

The pause gave ATS an opportunity to address weaknesses in the previous journey. Some traders obtained software access without completing the necessary setup, orientation, education or risk-control stages. Others did not discover the wider ATS ecosystem or understand how its products, workspaces, market intelligence and trading groups were intended to work together.

Rather than simply reopening the previous process, ATS has rebooted, reimagined and restructured the experience for the future.

The New Technology-Led ATS Journey

Trading and financial technology are becoming more dependent on automation, AI, cloud services, integrated applications and real-time information. ATS is reaching ahead to meet this transformation and help future-proof the trader journey with modern technology, structured onboarding and an expanding set of connected services.

The relaunched pathway is intended to be faster, easier, more efficient and better value. It is also less dependent on scheduled human agents, discovery meetings and human-led onboarding programs.

The new experience is built around:

• A free ATS Universal Account
• Email verification and secure account access
• A personal ATS Launchpad
• Structured self-assisted onboarding
• ATS Freemium access for eligible account holders
• Free Market IQ services
• A full-feature ATS trial pathway
• Zero to Hero education
• The ATS AI Help Agent and knowledge base
• ATS trading and support groups
• VIP Mastery Trade Group Copilot

Freemium Access and the Full-Feature Trial

ATS Freemium and the full-feature trial are separate access levels.

The free ATS Universal Account can unlock eligible Freemium-level access to ATS applications, services, Market IQ and trading-group benefits.

The Self-Assisted Full-Feature Trial provides eligible traders with temporary trial access to the applicable ATS Ultimate products and benefits presented through the Launchpad. These may include Algo Futures Trader, Alpha Web Trader, Algo Signal Trader, Zero to Hero, Trade Mastery and eligible VIP Trade Group access.

The Launchpad displays the stages, requirements and benefits applicable to the individual account.

No Discovery Meeting Is Required

The current ATS pathway is self-assisted. New traders are not required to attend an ATS Discovery Meeting or purchase a human-led Fast Track or assisted Mastery program before requesting an available trial.

Instead, traders progress through the structured Launchpad using the supplied instructions, AI assistance, help resources, product documentation, technical support channels and ATS groups.

This allows traders to begin in their own time while giving them a clearer route through account verification, setup, onboarding, trial activation and Zero to Hero education.

How to Get Started

1. Create a free ATS Universal Account using a supported social account or an email address and password.
2. Verify your email address using the link in the ATS welcome email.
3. Open your personal ATS Launchpad.
4. Complete the required self-assisted onboarding stages.
5. Request and confirm the available full-feature trial through the Launchpad.
6. Follow the Zero to Hero pathway and use the available ATS applications, groups and AI-assisted resources.

No card or payment information is required to create the free ATS Universal Account.

Built for the Future of Trading

ATS is continuing to evolve its products, services, AI capabilities, onboarding systems and trader resources. Our aim is to deliver a connected hybrid trading ecosystem that combines trader judgment with algorithms, automation, structured risk management and AI-assisted market intelligence.

The restored Self-Assisted Free Trial gives eligible traders an opportunity to experience this ecosystem through the newly structured ATS journey.

This announcement supersedes the earlier notice that all ATS Self-Assisted Free Trials had been discontinued.

Algo Trading Systems has restarted monthly and annual purchase options for eligible ATS products and services.

This follows a wider reboot, reimagining and restructuring of the ATS trader journey, product ecosystem, licensing systems, Universal Account, Launchpad and onboarding experience.

Monthly, Annual and One-Time Options

Depending on the selected ATS product or package, traders can now choose from available:

• Monthly plans
• Annual plans
• One-Time Lifetime licenses
• Eligible Optional Annual Maintenance or renewal plans

This gives traders greater flexibility to select an access and payment model suited to their requirements, experience, intended use and longer-term plans.

Quarterly leases are not currently advertised as a standard purchase option. The plans available for each product are displayed on the official ATS Pricing page and inside the secure ATS Universal Account checkout.

Why ATS Reconsidered Its Pricing Structure

The temporary removal of shorter-term product plans formed part of a broader review of ATS pricing, licensing, onboarding, product access and customer usage.

Customer feedback and demand showed that traders value having a genuine choice between flexible recurring access and longer-term product ownership. ATS has therefore restored monthly and annual options where they are appropriate while retaining One-Time Lifetime licensing for eligible desktop products and packages.

The result is a more flexible structure that can serve traders at different stages without forcing everyone into the same purchasing model.

A Rebooted and Future-Focused ATS

Trading technology is evolving rapidly. AI, automation, cloud applications, real-time market intelligence and integrated desktop, web and mobile services are becoming increasingly important to the modern trading workflow.

ATS is reaching ahead to prepare for this transformation. We have restructured our products and services around a more technology-led ecosystem that is designed to be faster, easier to access, more efficient and better value.

The evolving ATS model brings together:

• Algo Futures Trader for NinjaTrader
• Alpha Web Trader across web, desktop and mobile
• Market IQ market intelligence
• ATS trading and support groups
• Zero to Hero self-assisted education
• VIP Mastery Trade Group Copilot
• AI-assisted help, onboarding and market analysis
• The ATS Universal Account and personal Launchpad

This technology-led approach reduces dependence on scheduled human-led discovery meetings and assisted onboarding programs. Traders can progress through a structured self-assisted pathway using the Launchpad, AI guidance, help articles, videos, technical resources and ATS groups.

Choosing the Right Plan

Monthly plans can provide a lower initial commitment and flexible access. Annual plans can provide longer-term continuity and value. Eligible One-Time Lifetime licenses provide long-term access to the purchased desktop product version, subject to the precise terms shown for that product.

Monthly and annual plans include the applicable renewable benefits stated for the selected plan. For eligible One-Time Lifetime licenses, first-year benefits and Optional Annual Maintenance provisions are explained separately on the Pricing page.

Product features, services, group access, support levels and renewal benefits vary by plan. Customers should review the current package details before purchasing.

The public Pricing page provides the latest overview of ATS products, packages and list prices. Final availability, checkout details and any eligible customer-specific options are presented through the secure ATS Universal Account.
