Vancouver BC- January 20th 2000 - AlphaTrade.com (OTC BB: EBNK) announced today that the company has completed the deployment of the world’s first Web-based, real time, interactive news applet. As a comparison, financial portals such as Yahoo-Finance (Nasdaq: YHOO) dependent on the consumer constantly refreshing their browser and they are required to type separate symbol look-ups. With AlphaTrade’s news applet, the news is "as it happens", symbol sensitive and fully automatic which means the user is automatically provided with the latest news on each company he is following. Professionals have always had access to this type of service through dedicated systems like Bloomberg or Beta Systems. Now all investors and traders can have the same information without spending hours surfing the web or wading through a vast array of e-mails sent from multiple financial portals to determine if a company has released news. AlphaTrade’s unique infrastructure sorts through tens of thousands of news stories automatically by stock symbol and deploys them to each user. This instant notification allows all consumers the opportunity to take full advantage of potentially significant price moves that often emanate- from time-sensitive news announcements. AlphaTrade's news applet is user friendly: simply type in the stock symbol(s) of your favorite stocks on AlphaTrade’s streaming quote grid and when there is news, it will automatically flagged with two different alerts, one visual and another - audio. If a company you are following has more than one news release in a day, each story will be flagged the same way. Similar to the concept of "You’ve got mail", AlphaTrade’s real time news applet, tells you clearly, "You’ve got news". The system automatically and constantly checks for news from over 40 independent, real-time sources to provide users with news 24 hours per day. Users can also review the last 30 days of any company news. The news applet can be viewed at www.alphatrade.com. AlphaTrade.com has developed and is currently marketing a complete suite (E-Gate) of streaming real time stock and financial information tools available by subscription. Alphatrade is a true E-Commerce Internet based company that delivers all of its products via the Internet. For more details on the E-Gate products, please visit our web-site or contact the company and ask for Dean at info@alphatrade.com
