VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2000

AlphaTrade.com (OTCBB:EBNK) announced today that the company is releasing Phase II of the world's first and only multi-lingual, Web-based suite of streaming real time equity applications at 9:30 a.m. EST.

AlphaTrade's "patent pending" Web-based applications are unique in many ways. The all-new Portfolio Manager is now better than ever making it more powerful than any other system in the world. All of the symbols are now color coordinated for stocks you own, day trade or are just watching. Each equity has built in charting, and news alerts making it easier to view your portfolio and the stocks you are monitoring or trading at the same time.

AlphaTrade's symbol-sensitive news alert feature is singularly the most unique and one of the most powerful features for investors on the Internet today. Forget about being glued to your computer screen, the news feature automatically alerts you with a visual and audio alert in streaming real time, now with only a click of the mouse the headline or story is visually displayed. Similar to the concept of "You've got mail," AlphaTrade's real time news service brings home the concept of "There is news." Alphatrade's system automatically and constantly checks for news from over 40 independent real-time sources to ensure users are kept abreast of fast-breaking news as it happens both during and after market hours. With a potential of more than 15,000 news stories per day it is easy to see why this is so powerful for the investor. Now they can devote more of their time to taking advantage of potentially significant price moves that often follow time-sensitive news announcements.

For those sophisticated players, AlphaTrade's Nasdaq Level 2 is the only application in the world that allows investors to track two stocks on a real time basis at the same time and on the same screen. Investors will be able to get a better "feel" for a particular industry and for general market conditions by monitoring the trading of two competing stocks simultaneously.

AlphaTrade.com is a true E-Commerce Internet-based company with "Web-to-desktop" convergence technologies, applications and Network solutions. There is no need to purchase any software, no upgrades to download, no plug-ins needed, no constant refreshing of static web pages and no requirement for special hardware.
