Give FST Five Market Days to Earn Your Trust

Start with the provider-reported QS paper balance, set your limits, observe the full decision and execution record, and judge process discipline before considering any live connection.

Key Takeaways

• The five-day evaluation uses paper trading and does not require real capital.
• It is a structured product evaluation, not a contest, performance promise, or prediction of live results.
• Judge whether FST respects risk limits, explains decisions, rejects unsuitable plans, reconciles orders, and records complete sessions.
• Do not evaluate only profit and loss; paper fills and live execution can differ materially.
• Connecting a live account is optional and should happen only after the workflow and controls meet your requirements.

A Low-Risk First Mission

FST is easier to evaluate through one bounded mission than through a long feature list. Sign in, confirm the paper destination and displayed balance, define conservative limits, and observe how the agent handles research, risk checks, order state, monitoring, and inactivity.

Record all five market days, including days when FST finds no acceptable trade or rejects a plan. A disciplined rejection can be more informative than a profitable paper fill because it demonstrates whether the configured rails actually govern behavior.

At the end, review process evidence separately from hypothetical performance. Paper profit does not establish likely live returns. The evaluation succeeds when you understand what FST did, why it did it, what it refused to do, and how you stopped or changed the session.

How It Works

1. Start in QS paper — Sign in to the FST web or mobile app and confirm that the selected destination is the QS paper account.
2. Set bounded limits — Review the displayed account, instrument, exposure, trade, loss, approval, and stop settings before starting.
3. Observe five market days — Watch the screen, signal, risk, preview, execution, monitor, park, and audit states without changing the evidence after the fact.
4. Review rejected and losing outcomes — Include no-trade decisions, rejected plans, aborted orders, losses, safe defaults, and manual stops in the evaluation.
5. Decide from evidence — Continue in paper, change the limits, stop using FST, or separately evaluate an eligible live connection. No live upgrade is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the five-day FST evaluation free?

The QS paper account is the no-real-money starting path. Product access, data, or usage limits may vary by the plan and surface shown when you sign in.

Does a profitable five-day paper result predict live returns?

No. Five days is not a statistically reliable performance record, and paper fills can differ materially from live execution.

What should I measure during the evaluation?

Measure observability and control: opportunities considered, plans rejected, risk checks, approval behavior, order reconciliation, monitoring, stop behavior, safe defaults, and audit completeness.

Do I need to connect a broker?

No. The evaluation is designed for the QS paper destination. Live broker connectivity is optional and capability-dependent.

Where do I start?
