| NEW -- The Roy Kelly2000i package contains advanced statistical algorithms with filters based on current space-age technology. Each indicator has been tested on 10 years of continuous data. All indicators on the disk are directly transferable into any version of TradeStation and SuperCharts, including TradeStation 2000i and ProSuite 2000i.

These indicators can be used on any stock, option, mutual fund, or future -- including the S&P index and bond futures.
The indicators can be used in any time frame, whether it's daily, weekly, monthly, even intraday tick charts. The indicators can be used alone or with other indicators to enhance and complement what you are already using. If requested, Kelly will personally take your call. ARC Systems |

| UPDATE -- XpressTrade, LLC, an Internet-based futures brokerage firm headquartered in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Center, has added a new contingent order entry feature to its existing Internet services for self-directed futures and options traders.
The new feature allows traders to enter a primary futures order and up to two contingent orders simultaneously via the Internet. The contingent orders are queued by the XpressTrade system until the primary order has been executed. Once the primary order has been filled, any contingent orders are activated and routed directly to either the Globex system, an electronic device used by a floor broker in the pit, a trading desk on the exchange floor, or the XpressTrade Trading Center for execution. Contingent orders may be entered at an exact price or at a specified distance above or below the price at which the primary order is filled. With this new tool, futures traders may enter an outright order to establish a new position in the market, a limit order at a profit objective, and a protective stop order at the same time, and the XpressTrade system will process them in the intended sequence. This relieves the trader of having to wait for a confirmed fill on the primary order prior to placing additional orders to take profits or protect against losses. XpressTrade is an introducing broker. Its all-electronic service permits low commission rates. Xpresstrade 10 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 2035 |
