Trading Technologies Names Trade West Systems TT Edge Certified Partner

CHICAGO and NEW YORK, August 16, 2006 — Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT) and Trade West Systems, LLC (TWS) today announced that TWS has been named a TT Edge Certified Partner. TWS provides the ProOMS software suite for automatic trade capture of futures and bond trades executed with TT's X_TRADER® API. TWS also plans to provide customers with order routing through TT's exchange gateways through TT's FIX Adapter.

"Trade capture" is the automated transmission of completed trades from a source system to a destination system. ProOMS automatically sends trade details to clients' OMS, back office or internal system. It connects these disparate applications and transfers trading information between them in an efficient manner. ProOMS also provides monitoring of captured trades in an intuitive dashboard-style screen. It complements the broad selection of other TT Partner Program solutions currently available to TT's clients.

"We are excited to add TWS to our growing list of TT Edge Certified Partners," said Alvin Tanpoco, VP of Business Development. "The ProOMS Software Suite will enable our clients' traders to spend more time trading and less time focusing on the recording of trade details. We already have clients who have implemented this software and are experiencing the benefits."

"Our experience shows that TT has developed the fastest, most reliable exchange gateways in the futures industry," said Andrew Kelley, President of Trade West Systems. "The integration of the ProOMS Software Suite with TT's X_TRADER API allows TT customers to now experience the fastest and most reliable trade capture system in the industry."

The TT Partner Program facilitates relationships with companies worldwide to integrate TT's technology into their products. The program provides partners with development support, certification testing, sales and marketing assistance and other resources to help them create and market their products. Partner firms fall into several categories including Algorithmic Trading Solutions, Automated Trading Solutions, Consulting Services, Direct Market Access (DMA) Platforms, Integrated Front Ends, Order and Execution Management Systems, Risk Management Systems, Trading Development Frameworks and Trading Front Ends.
