Exclusive Affiliation with Berkeley, Chartwell & Co. Allows Global Forex Trading to Offer Managed Accounts

Ada, Michigan, September 17, 2002 - ADA, Michigan - Global Forex Trading is proud to announce an exclusive affiliation with Berkeley Chartwell LLC, which will handle managed accounts for Global Forex Trading account holders. It marks the first time Global Forex Trading has offered managed accounts.

"In our opinion, Berkeley Chartwell has created the most innovative and dynamic concept in the area of managed Forex products in the industry," said Gary Tilkin, president of Global Forex Trading. "We are thrilled to have an exclusive relationship with them, and to offer managed accounts to our clients as a result."

Berkeley Chartwell was created to offer potentially high rates of return on investors' capital for those individuals, corporations or institutional investors who understand the dynamics of the Forex market but lack the time or expertise to trade on their own behalf. Berkeley Chartwell's core philosophy is that no one trader will achieve high levels of profitability over a prolonged period of time. The company also believes that clients should not place all of their capital with a single trader. Each individualized account utilizes three to five traders.

"Our arrangement with Berkeley Chartwell allows our traders to benefit from their expertise, and does not require them as individuals to maintain the very high account balances required of direct Berkeley Chartwell clients," Tilkin said.
