`market. MD Trader also had a one click recenteting feature that allowed a trader to
`quickly bring the market into view and set it point of nefemnce.
`
`MD ‘n-arier was radically different then the typea of trading tools that were
`7.
`available at the time. Iliad never seen may of the feeturer described above before I saw
`them in MD Trader. Beeauae of these differences. MD Trader is a far superior trading
`tool. The main reason. for this in that the improved visualization and the improved order
`entry improve the speed at which a trader can recognize opportunities and trade.
`in
`electronic trading, even fractions of a second are imponant. The improved visualization
`is especially hel pful when a trader is looking at several products next to each other
`bectiuae.ihe trader can center the multiple windows to set a point of reference and
`immediately notice relative differences in the movements of those products at just a
`glance. MD Trader made it easier for traders to be active participants in the market and it
`increased the number of orders being sent by trnders.
`
`lam aware that after TT’t relcale of MD Trader. many companies have mieasccl
`8.
`similar products with the features discu sled Ibovc. For example. I have used products
`made by Pntsyrteme and Ret’coPr:o Basyrcreen that have these features. In 2001,
`Patsysrems came to my office and thawed me a new screen they were telling called
`"Darn:-“ that looked identical to MD Trader. The representative from Pntsyatems
`emphasized that the Dome product had the name functi onnlity as T1": MD Trader and
`was cheaper.
`
`My office is located at 30 S. Wncirer Drive. Chicago. Illinois. Since 2001 . I have
`9.
`had 5-7 traders working for me.
`
`ideclnre und_c_r penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true md correct. Executed on
`August .31-. 2004.
