AlphaTrade to Supply Traders Nation E-Gate Accounts
for an Upcoming Radio Contest

Vancouver, BC - August 26, 2004 - AlphaTrade (OTCBB: APTD). A major Internet audio site at TradersNation.com, will offer free Alpha-Trade "E-Gate" accounts as a service to its listeners. Desert Son Media Corp., parent company to Traders Nation and TradersNation.com is the leader in the smallcap community for providing syndicators and Web site visitors current market trend commentary and delivering that content via an audio program produced live daily.

The arrangement with Traders Nation is part of a growing series of partnerships arranged by Alpha Trade to off its E-Gate solution to a growing audience of demographically appropriate retail investors.

Recently, AlphaTrade joined forces with United States Golf Fitness Association (USGFA) to offer E-Gate trials via the USGFA website. The USGFA offers fitness instruction through professional instructors and major country clubs to help golfers enhance their game and physical conditioning (see release, August 12, 2004).

"This is a creative cross-marketing promotion," says Penny Perfect, CEO of AlphaTrade. "Not only will Traders Nation be able to give away E-gate accounts as a contest promotion but in return, AlphaTrade will get daily signups for those wanting to try out our E-Gate stock quote system, a perfect win-win situation."

Kurt Schemers host and creator of Traders Nation says, "We're happy to have AlphaTrade offer the contest prize for our listeners. At Traders Nation we've encompassed a wide range of vital tools for the investor, and we anticipate this contest will further benefit our listeners even after the daily broadcast."
