trade MONSTER Introduces Twitter "tradeSHARE"

Becomes First Online Broker to Integrate Platform with Twitter
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
trade MONSTER (http://www.trademonster.com), a next-generation online broker
designed by professional traders for self-directed investors, today became the
first online broker to integrate Twitter, with tradeSHARE. With one click from
the trading platform, trade MONSTER customers can now post micro-blogs onto
Twitter, the popular social networking site used by more than 14 million people
every month.

Other firsts from trade MONSTER include being the first browser-based broker
with real-time, streaming data throughout its trading platform, the first to
offer customizable trading screens through a browser-based platform, the first
to allow RSS feeds of market news and the first to feature one-click integrated
investor education.

Wherever a trade MONSTER customer looks at a quote or potential trade, they are
given the option of posting their trade information to Twitter. If they opt to
do so, an editable message is automatically generated summarizing the trade
within the 140-character Twitter message limit. This new Twitter functionality
is present on both is real and paper trading platforms and, like all of the
tools and resources available on the trade MONSTER platform, tradeSHARE is
available at no cost to the customer.

"Investors love to share trading ideas with the community of their choice, but
don`t want to be confined to their online broker`s internal forums and
discussion boards. tradeSHARE gives investors that choice," said Jon Najarian,
co-founder of optionMONSTER and trade MONSTER (Twitter handle: @optionMONSTER).
"We are thrilled to bring our message of educated, self-directed investing into
this global market dialogue that is happening on Twitter everyday."

When looking at social networks and online communities engaging in conversation
about investing, trade MONSTER analysts noted that Twitter users engage in
specific conversations about current activity in the financial markets with
great regularity, significantly more so than other existing online communities.

Wade Cooperman, CEO of trade MONSTER (Twitter handle: @trademonster) added,
"Twitter is a vibrant medium for the sharing of financial ideas, perceptions and
achievements. We wanted our customers to have the freedom to contribute to that
stream should they choose. Initial customer feedback has been fantastic and
members of the Twitter community have already sent us ideas for future
applications."

This news follows the recent introduction of two major new tools which help
investors gain experience without risking real capital: Trade Simulator, which
gives investors the ability to see how particular trading strategies and
positions behave in a live account, and paperTRADE, which lets investors test
new strategies and gain experience using trade MONSTER.
