# Free Trial
During the checkout process, Option Omega subscribers will have the choice of doing a free trial.
The trial is optional and can try the Modeling, Backtesting, or Backtesting + Modeling tiers before subscribing (Automation is not included in the free trial).
For users who want the free trial, make sure to select the bottom button that says "Start 7-day Free Trial\*". Selecting the top "Buy Subscription" button will result in a paid subscription without a free trial. You will need to select a preferred payment term (monthly, or annually) but will only be charged should you choose to continue with OO after the end of the trial period.
The 7-day Free Trial is fully featured and contains all the tweaks, parameters, and possibilities that the standard subscription contains. However, the backtester trial is limited to the last three calendar years (January 1, 2023 to December, 31, 2025). This provides a recent range of dates to to experience all of the settings and options, though is not intended to be a comprehensive long-term backtest.
Trial users can also get access to extra channels on Discord.
You can self-verify by putting your Discord username in the **Discord Username** field on optionomega.com. That will grant you access to the verified channels. [Watch this 1-minute video to see how.](https://youtu.be/kWer1Vd_PzI?si=7kO3aUbN6LJ92QcN)
On Discord, verified users will have a green name. Trial users will have an orange name. Trial users have access to some verified channels, including the [#help-questions channel for backtesting](https://discord.com/channels/882705067210317915/1083424140813410396).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.optionomega.com/welcome/free-trial.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
