Vancouver, BC and San Diego, California - August 12, 2004 - Financial fitness online. AlphaTrade and the United States Golf Fitness Association (USGFA) have joined forces to offer AlphaTrade's high quality, stock market and portfolio-tracking tool - E-Gate - which subscribers can gain access to via the USGFA website. AlphaTrade is currently reconfiguring the USGFA site to support advanced technology including an E-Gate window.

The USGFA offers fitness instruction through professional fitness instructors and major country clubs to help golfers enhance their game and physical conditioning. The USGFA/AlphaTrade connection should introduce the convenience of E-Gate to a potential universe of thousands of golfers, many of whom are well-aligned to the demographics of the traditional AlphaTrade subscriber.

Lawrence Castro, Founder and CEO of USGFA states, "We would like to welcome AlphaTrade to our growing team of lifestyle advocates. Having a customized stock tool in the USGFA membership package will enable USGFA to have the flexibility of monitoring their financial growth from anywhere in the world."

At USGFA we strive to partner with companies that provide our members the opportunity to enhance their lifestyle choices. By adding AlphaTrade to our product mix we ensure that our members are provided with tools to keep them financially fit which is in keeping with our mandate to promote physical fitness."

Penny Perfect, CEO of AlphaTrade says, "Our newly formed partnership with Lawrence Castro and USGFA reflects our belief that financial freedom is a lifestyle choice and having the right tools to achieve financial freedom is mandatory. USGFA is currently in the process of rapid expansion and is partnering with many of the most recognized names in the golf world. The expected market performance in the golfing industry will exceed most other industries and we believe that our partnership with USGFA will create many opportunities for growth and new product development."

Castro further states, "Real time decisions create real time results in both golf and the financial world.
