Vancouver, B.C., July 7, 1999 - AlphaTrade.com is announcing the release of E-Gate, the world's only interactive and fully customizable financial portal. This rudimentary portal is intended for users to begin to acclimatize themselves to our unique features such as interactivity and the ability to individualize each portal. Each module will be expanded progressively to include additional functions and features. As enhancements are added to each module, they will seamlessly upgrade themselves with no download or plug-ins required. E-Gate will become the "Rolls-Royce" of financial portals.

Why will E-Gate become the world's greatest portal? Literally, there are no web-sites or portal's using this technology. All portals currently available are simple on-line brochures or data compilers, this means the only difference between them is the way they present their information or how they use visual effects to dress the information up. AlphaTrade's browser technology will differentiate the E-Gate portal from any other financial portals. Users will be able to customize each component within the portal thereby creating their own home page (default) or "float" the components out of the browser onto their desktop. This "float" feature allows users to continue to "surf" the web or use other software applications without disrupting or losing the functionality and customization of the streaming information from the portal.

E-Gate has been designed for everyone from the casual investor with little or no investment experience, the serious day trader with a substantial amount of investment expertise, through to the professional and institutional traders who not only have a great understanding of the investment world but also require volumes of available financial data with which to make investment decisions. E-Gate can address the needs of each customer in a simple and functional manner while providing each customer the ability to personalize their own financial portal.

AlphaTrade.com is now accepting subscriptions for E-Gate. As an introductory offer, the first 100,000 (one hundred thousand) subscribers will receive a 6 (six) month E-Gate subscription FREE*. More detailed information about our subscription packages can be found at www.alphatrade.com and an example of some of the services to be provided are listed below:
