`
`moving relative to fixed prices, MD Trader gives a visual indication of the market
`movement. This significantly reduces the mental calculations required by the preexisting
`systems. Also, the one click order entry feature reduces errors ir1 trading and allows
`traders to trade more confidently. Timing is everything in electronic trading. MD Trader
`speeds up trading so much that it is invaluable to an active trader. For active traders, MD
`Trader also increases the amount of trading done.
`
`It is my understanding that Harris Brumfield came up with the core idea behind
`6.
`MD Trader.
`I believe Mr. Brumfield had a unique vision and that his invention was
`ingenious.
`
`In the years following TT’s release of MD Trader, many companies have tried to
`7.
`mimic the features of MD Trader. Over the years, I have heard various sales pitch
`attempts from competitors of TT. Usually, those pitches involved the competitor
`comparing the functionality of its product to MD Trader. For example, I recall a
`conversation with representatives from Patsystems sometime after I started using MD
`Trader. In that conversation, I recall the Patsystems representative telling me that their
`product had functionality like TT’s MD Trader.
`
