Global Forex Trading to Deliver Live Currency Prices to Forbes.com

ADA, Mich., February 21, 2004 - Global Forex Trading announced it will deliver live currency prices for 16 currency crosses through its proprietary quoteboard on Forbes.com, according to GFT's President and CEO Gary L. Tilkin.

"The new partnership with Forbes.com is a good example of how GFT continues to leverage advanced software technology combined with sharing our industry resources with one of the world's most respected publishers," said Tilkin.

The proprietary, Flash-powered currency quoteboard displays features unseen by similar Java-based applications including:

– A flashing timestamp when a new price is quoted

– A price direction arrow to show where the currency price is heading

– A number that displays how many ticks a price moves in a direction in a row

Developed using the latest features of Macromedia Flash MX 2004 (Flash 7), the currency quoteboard offers traders an at-a-glance view of the real-time currency prices as well when major pricing changes occur. The quoteboard is part of the wide range of editorial support services from GFT and available to financial Web site portals throughout the world.

As a primary market-maker, GFT offers individual and institutional traders tradable prices via its 24-hour dealing desk on more than 60 currency pairs.
