ATS will retire its Freemium trading model on August 1, 2026. From this date, continued access to ATS trading software, cloud services, updates, trading groups, support resources, and associated features will require an active Essentials, Premium, Ultimate, Universal, or other qualifying paid license.

Why ATS Is Ending Freemium Access
The Freemium program was originally introduced to allow traders to experience ATS technology, learn our methodology, and decide whether the ATS ecosystem was suitable for their long-term trading goals.
Unfortunately, the program has increasingly been used in ways that do not support a fair, sustainable, or mutually beneficial relationship between ATS and its trading community.
- Commercial use and copier abuse: Some Freemium users have connected ATS systems to copy-trading bridges and trade-mirroring technology for commercial or multi-account trading purposes, bypassing the need for additional licenses and acting contrary to the ATS End User License Agreement.
- Unauthorized copying and plagiarism: ATS concepts, designs, features, documentation, and proprietary trading methodologies have been copied or imitated by vendors operating within the retail trading ecosystem.
- Fairness to paying customers: It is not fair for traders who have purchased licenses and financially supported ATS development to subsidize indefinite access for users who make no comparable commitment.
- Cloud and infrastructure costs: Market-data processing, web services, AI resources, licensing systems, cloud hosting, development, security, and customer support all create continuing operational costs.
- Quality of service: Restricting ongoing access to committed customers will allow ATS to deliver better performance, faster support, and a higher overall standard of service.
A New Model for Serious and Committed Traders
ATS is moving toward a professional model designed for serious traders who understand that successful trading development requires commitment, responsibility, and a mutually beneficial long-term relationship.
Our objective is not to attract the largest possible number of free users. Our objective is to work with traders who value ATS technology, respect its intellectual property, follow the license terms, and are prepared to invest in their own trading development.
Essentials, Premium, Ultimate, Universal, and other paid-license requirements will therefore be actively enforced. This will allow the ATS team to focus its time, investment, and resources on developing new products, improving existing services, strengthening the trading ecosystem, and supporting the customers who support ATS.
Exclusive End of Freemium Upgrade Promotion
ATS appreciates the traders who have used Freemium responsibly, remained loyal to the brand, and contributed positively to the community.
Before Freemium access ends, eligible Freemium-only users will be offered a dedicated pathway to upgrade to a qualifying paid license through the ATS End of Freemium Promotion.
Eligible users will be invited to book a meeting where ATS can review their trading goals and present exclusive loyalty offers that may include:
- Exclusive Freemium-user loyalty pricing.
- Monthly, annual, and lifetime license options.
- Flexible payment plans and installment options, subject to availability and eligibility.
- Essentials, Premium, Ultimate, and Universal license pathways.
- Package recommendations based on the trader’s experience, account type, and long-term objectives.
- Exclusive promotional packages designed to provide an affordable and accessible pathway into the full ATS trading ecosystem.
These offers recognize the user’s previous loyalty to ATS while providing a fair pathway into the full professional ATS ecosystem.
Promotion Qualification and Cut-Off Date
- The promotion is available to eligible users who began using ATS Freemium on or before June 30, 2026.
- The promotion is available only to qualifying ATS Freemium users who do not currently hold an active paid ATS license.

What Freemium Users Need to Do
Freemium users who wish to continue using ATS after August 1, 2026, must upgrade to an eligible paid license before the deadline.
Users who do not upgrade should expect their Freemium software licenses, cloud services, trading groups, support access, and related features to be deactivated or restricted from August 1, 2026.
Existing customers with active qualifying paid licenses will continue under the terms of their current license or subscription.
