CHICAGO, NEW YORK and BOCA RATON, Fl., March 12, 2009 — Trading Technologies International, Inc.

TT will support trading of spot FX, precious metal and non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts through its high-speed gateway to the EBS platform.

ICAP’s award-winning electronic EBS platform provides the primary market for more than 2,800 global spot FX, precious metals and NDF traders in over 50 countries around the world. It delivers anonymous, transparent, reliable and highly liquid trading opportunities, as well as authoritative real-time and historical market data.

"The foreign exchange market is the most actively traded market in the world, and we look forward to providing access to the spot FX market’s primary source of liquidity, the EBS platform," said Harris Brumfield, TT CEO.

"As part of our focus on facilitating the best possible trading opportunities, we are pleased that we will soon offer access to our EBS Spot market through Trading Technologies’ X_TRADER platform," said David Rutter, Global Deputy CEO of ICAP Electronic Broking.
