| Special Notices | ||
| *1) Prop-Firm Trading | Prop firms vary considerably in their rules, reliability and overall quality. ATS may identify selected affiliated or compatible prop firms, but traders must review and comply with each firm's current rules. Prop-firm evaluation and funded-account trading require an appropriate paid AFT license. Feature and instrument restrictions apply as described in *3 below. | |
| *2) Planned Features | Planned features may be introduced in future releases but are not guaranteed and have no fixed delivery date. Features and development priorities may change or be withdrawn due to technical feasibility, platform changes, demand, development time, cost, resources or other commercial considerations. | |
| *3) AFT License & Trading-Mode Access | Access to the AFT user interface, features and trading modes requires an active eligible AFT license or access plan whenever AFT is used with NinjaTrader. This applies whether NinjaTrader Desktop Global Simulation Mode is switched on or off and includes simulation, demo, evaluation, prop-firm funded and live brokerage trading. Eligible access is provided through a Trial, Fast Track or Full AFT license, subject to the features and instruments included. Premium supports Micro Futures, while Ultimate supports all available AFT-supported futures and instruments. | |
| *4) Fully Automated Trading | Fully automated trading is available to all eligible AFT traders who choose that pathway. Turnkey Workspace Stage 2 provides automated entries, automated trade management and hybrid controls, allowing traders to select the level of automation appropriate for their trading style and risk tolerance. Turnkey Workspace Stage 5 provides fully automated algorithmic baseline settings as references for testing, research and optimization. | |
| *5) Assisted Support | Support begins with ATS Universal Search, the 24/7 AI Help Agent, online help articles, training videos, the ATS Discord groups and the AI-assisted Help Desk. Traders can submit a support ticket when further assistance is required, with human-agent backup available during live support hours. Interactive human assistance is provided through the ATS Discord groups and Help Desk. | |
| *6) Fast Track Zero-to-Hero | Fast Track Zero-to-Hero is a paid 30-day assisted pathway that includes one 30–60 minute one-to-one onboarding session, full-featured ATS Ultimate access, the five-stage Zero-to-Hero pathway, turnkey trading workspaces, AI Copilot, developer-led support and access to the live-market Trade Zone. Alternatively, traders can attend a free Discovery Meeting before choosing the most suitable ATS pathway. | |
