AlphaTrade to Provide TradeKing Clients with the
Most Up-To-Date Online Financial Information

Long-Term Agreement with Internet Trading Pioneers Also Calls for
Cross-Marketing Efforts to Reach Information-Hungry Investors

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - March 13, 2006 - AlphaTrade.com (OTCBB: APTD), a global provider of customized real-time financial information for professional, institutional and individual investors, today announced a long-term agreement with TradeKing (www.tradeking.com), the online brokerage led by a team that helped pioneer Internet trading.

AlphaTrade will empower TradeKing customers to take advantage of the most up-to-date financial knowledge available and have the ability to make informed investment decisions. Accordingly, TradeKing will be given a prominent presence on the AlphaTrade Financial Network (www.AlphaTradeFN.com) home page.

With TradeKing, AlphaTrade partners with a seasoned management team that can boast over 70 years of combined financial services and online brokerage experience - this includes service time with Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, E*Trade, Datek, Fleet Bank, Charles Schwab, Lehman Brothers, and Quick & Reilly. The partnership enables AlphaTrade to leverage this extraordinary experience to fast track their own growth and entice other brokerage firms to seek similar partnerships with the company. This agreement also benefits AlphaTrade with cross-marketing initiatives and opportunities.

"TradeKing's recognition of AlphaTrade's singular ability to deliver real-time, reliable and comprehensive market information is tremendous validation that we offer one of the most compelling and complete suites of financial information products and services available. TradeKing's educated individual and institutional investors will benefit from our market-leading data," said Penny Perfect, AlphaTrade CEO. "We are enthused about working with a high-caliber management team that was on the forefront of online trading and we are excited about the opportunities this agreement can create."

"Integrating AlphaTrade's impressive offerings and competencies into our own suite of products will enable us to provide our users with a one-stop online destination for timely market information and trading," added Donato Montanaro, TradeKing's President and CEO. "While there were other online financial resources available, only AlphaTrade provides a level of comprehensive data and value that TradeKing users have come to expect."

Montanaro had previously founded the online brokerage firm SureTrade in 1997. At the time, SureTrade was able to offer one of the best trading rates in the U.S. and grew to be the 6th largest online broker. The company eventually merged with Quick & Reilly's online brand.
