track ecn back among NASDAQ top 10 liquidity providers

BROOKLYN, NY—December 23, 2004—Track Data Corporation (NASDAQ: TRAC) today announced that its Track ECN (Market Participant ID: "TRAC") has begun reporting five levels on Nasdaq’s SuperMontage. Track ECN clients will benefit from this move by receiving higher trading priority on bids and offers placed away from the market.

"Track ECN’s philosophy is simple: offer access to ample liquidity, the best possible execution priority, and the largest possible rebate," said Joe Schultz, VP of Track ECN. "Participating in SuperMontage means Track ECN offers access to its liquidity to the entire trading community via Nasdaq. The decision to report five levels offers our clients an edge when they wish to place orders away from the market, since they will receive time priority if the market moves in their direction. And, finally, we offer a great rebate of $2.70 per thousand shares."

BACK IN NASDAQ’S TOP 10

According to Nasdaqtrader.com, Track ECN is back in its list of Top 10 liquidity providers. Nasdaq’s report for the week of December 6th shows Track ECN in the number 9 slot. Track ECN was regularly in the top 10 before the advent of SuperMontage, and was the number 1 provider for several weeks. This is the first time Track ECN is among the top 10 since 2002.

NEW PRICE SCHEDULE FOR TRACK ECN ("TRAC")

For NASDAQ securities, effective January 1, 2005:

Order that adds liquidity $2.70 per thousand shares REBATE

Order that removes liquidity $3.00 per thousand shares CHARGE

Track ECN competes with six other ECNs, down from a dozen when Track ECN commenced business in 2002. The three largest competitors are Archipelago (Pacific: AX), Instinet (Nasdaq: INGP) and Nasdaq/Brut (Nasdaq: NDAQ).
