Do I have to pay for the 7-day charting trial?  

The 7-day trials are free. The Desktop Lite trial does not require a credit card to register for the trial.

For the IntelliChart Online and Desktop products we do require users to submit a credit card for a pre-approval, the credit card is not charged, but a pre-approval process is initiated.

If you are using a credit card linked to your personal savings or checking account, then the bank may allocate that money, and place it on hold, please contact your issuing credit card bank to learn more about this. This pre-approval will remain until the pre-approval is either voided (you cancel the service by emailing support@fxtrek.com before the end of the 7-day trial) or charged (you purchase the service).
