2. Get sample US files, including ETFs, here.
3. Get sample files for a further 26 global exchanges and currencies here.
4. Start with the documentation [here](https://arb-maker.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ArbMaker-Plus-Help.pdf).
5. Also take a look at our guidance videos on Youtubeor on our [Screenshots and Vids](https://arb-maker.com/screenshots) page.

The trial is free and lasts for 2 weeks from install.

We are not asking for e-mail verifications in order for you to download because we are not spam-artists. However, feedback is very, very important to us. Many features in the software come directly from users. **If you try ArbMakerPlus please send in your impressions, criticisms and ‘wish-it-could’s** via our contact page.

You will see this screen when you start the evaluation.

**There is no need for an Activation key during the evaluation period** – just click “Close” and the software will start if Microsoft SQL Express has been correctly installed.

The evaluation has every feature of the subscription version.

Finally, if you wish to trial with IQ’s data sign up here and in the ‘Referral box’ put “Trent 14 day trial”. If you decide after the 14 days to take out an IQ subscription to use ArbMaker+ make sure you ask for their $50 set-up fee to be waived.
