SPECTRE Level IV Advanced Real-Time Predictive Logic Trading Environment. Defining a New Level in Trading and Asset-Price Discovery.
With the many changes in the market place, the current trading environment has become more challenging than ever. Online Brokers, as well as old-style Retail Brokers, have had a harder time than ever proving their value to investors and traders. Most trading platforms available show little more than standard charts and indicators, and provide crude depth-of-book and order execution interfaces. SL4 (located at http://www.spectrenet.com/sl4) is the next generation trading platform created by traders to fulfill the huge gap in the trading/decision support marketplace.

It provides everything from advanced order execution to advanced predictive
logic in order to guide traders moment-by-moment to the best trading
opportunities. Instinet recently acquired ProTrader, Ameritrade
acquired TradeCast, Goldman Sachs acquired SLK/RediPlus and The Hull Group,
and Schwab acquired CyberTrader. SL4 offers a multitude of
proprietary features that none of the aforementioned platforms can come
close to matching. The cutting-edge SL4 trading platform provides a
distinct strategic advantage to any Trader, Market-Maker, or Broker
utilizing the SL4 technology. The following is a summary of some of
SL4’s primary features.
The following list has been identified as a small representation of the
type of proprietary features and trading data that is supplied and
referenced for users of the SL4 trading environment:
- Thousands of Real-Time HIGH-PROBABILITY Trading “Opportunities” Provided
Every Day, Generated by Scanning Hundreds of Different Listed and NASDAQ
Stocks. - Order Entry, Alerts, and Opportunities can additionally be communicated to
Trader utilizing SL4’s built-in voice/speech processor, as well as overlaid
onto SL4’s proprietary charts. - SL4 is also invaluable for trading Futures, e-Mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq
100 Futures, and Foreign Exchange. It can display and process any
Depth-of-Book data source (ECN Books, Exchange Depth-of-Books, Firm’s
Internal Order Books), and will be compatible with Single Stock Futures
(SSFs) that are expected to experience dramatic growth in the near future. - End-of-day Performance Record Indicates Maximum Profit Potential of Every
Trade Opportunity Presented, Assuming 2 Levels of Risk Per Trade (ie. for a
stock such as MSFT, this would be a 10 cent move). Most trading
systems are based on simple indicators, volume, and charting patterns, and
process little more than recent time & sales data consolidated into bar
charts. In SL4, opportunities are calculated through a highly complex
algorithmic process that takes into account every facet of the data
presented (such as Time&Sales, participant, and depth data), all in
real-time, to provide 1000’s of High- Probability BUY or SELL opportunities
every day. - SL4 can be utilized to identify new trading opportunities in different
stocks and/or to trade a single stock or group of stocks. - Basket Trading feature enables the Trader to consolidate multiple trading
signals across several assets and provides a new weighted trading
opportunity. Baskets can also be charted, and entered into the Order Entry
Manager for Automatic Execution. Consolidation of signals can provide
even higher accuracy than individual signals, and allows for easy
implementation of sector-based trading styles. - On the Back-End, Complex Formulas
Calculate the Top 10 Market Makers
and Their Activity at Multiple Price Levels. The Trader is
Presented the Current Trading Day’s Top 10

Maker Rankings for comparison to today’s controlling interests.

Significance in Identifying the Next Move or Reversal:
- When a team of Market Makers has
accumulated or distributed a significant quantity of
stock at a particular price level. - Extended Consolidation and Previous Day and 52-Week High/Low Break-Outs.
- When a Top 10 Market Maker holds or retreats from control in a particular
stock. - When a Top 10 Market Maker attempts to repeatedly control a particular price

and how far it is currently extended on a moment-by-moment basis. - Many other powerful alerts, including CUP formations, Order Imbalances,
Range Contraction BreakOUTs, Trend and Support/Resistance Auto-TrendLine
Identification and CrossOver Alerts on Multiple Timeframes, Cycle-Optimized
Overbought and Oversold Indications on Multiple Timeframes, and the ActiVU
display provide alerts to stocks that are about to move, continue a current

stocks with wider spreads, since the SL4 charts provide a much clearer image
of the true underlying trend. Charts can be displayed either in
Absolute Price or in Price Extension from the Open of the Day, and also
factor in time and volume versus price. A Trader can also watch
activity on a 1 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute, 15 minute, 60 minute, and daily
basis utilizing the ChartTrends feature, which also provides a weighted
easy-to-read display of the current trend on each time frame. - Key Price Levels are calculated and presented to the trader as they are
discovered. It is at these prices that “battles” tend to take place
that lead to trend reversals. - Trading Opportunities, Key Prices, and other information can be directly
overlaid onto the chart for easy analysis.

of a particular stock. - Advanced Level II / Depth-of-Book Montage Screens that presents a clear and
concise representation of current market activity, along with optional
consolidation of total available size at the top three best bid / offer
levels. ECN Book Data is also incorporated into the Montage, and the

quick information on the Market Maker’s name, and other important
information regarding his currently displayed quote. All colors
can be adjusted to maximize the trader’s comfort throughout the trading
day. Price Levels are optionally grouped by SL4’s calculated Level
Size for each asset, so that true underlying movement is easier to
identify. This feature is especially powerful since decimalization has
taken effect. - Dynamically updating representation of the Trend Strength at the current
Price Level, as well as an indication of the Primary Underlying Trend
Strength, clearly displayed at the top of each Montage. Order Flow
Ratios and other statistics can also be displayed. - Analyzes Market Maker Activity Across an Entire Sector of Stocks, and

be linked to any computerized order execution back-end system that publishes
an API (Application Programming Interface) and is

and Trader can see which market centers are currently available and active
and can block certain routes from the SMART routing feature through a click
of the mouse. Account Handler can also simulate off-floor STOP /
STOP-LIMIT orders and Reserve orders, along with a slew of others. For
back-ends that do not offer Cancel/Replace features, the Account Handler can
simulate Cancel/Replace and provides a single SL4 Order ID for order so that
it can easily be rolled-up and identified on the back-end. New
routes can easily be added as they become available once they are added to
the firm’s back-end environment. - API available to enter and manage orders via SL4’s advanced front-end
environment for automatic execution of customized trading systems and other
third-party applications. - Warnings are provided if SL4 detects potential delays in real-time data
delivery versus its source. SL4 also provides in-depth connection
statistics in order to assist in monitoring and diagnosing network problems
or other potential performance issues. SL4 also implements
sophisticated scanning methods to clean incoming data to minimize stuck
quotes and ECN Order Book Bids or Offers. - SL4 is currently compatible with market data from eSignal, MarketFeed,
PC-Quote Orbit, Townsend RealTick, and QCharts. New data feed sources
can be easily implemented. All that is required is the creation of a
new Data Feed Handler that can power all of SL4’s components. - Advanced Real-Time Simulated Trading Environment allows accurate simulation
of trading results in order to gauge a trader’s abilities without risking

Bear Stearns Analyst Finds Semi-Professional Traders Are Increasing Their
Presence and Driving Technology.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)-Amid growing concern in the market, Amy Butte, Bear
Stearns financial services analyst, believes that day traders are still alive
and kicking.
In her report entitled Day Trading and Beyond: A New Year, An Updated View,
Butte revisits the on-line trading realm to find that
semi-professional traders continue to increase
their presence in the market, as they
further embrace the most sophisticated technologies.
Back in April, Butte released her first on-line trading report, which
categorized the population that makes up the on-line trading community into
three distinct groups: semi-professional / day traders (customers that trade
25-45+ times per day), active traders (customers that trade 15-40 times per
year) and self-directed asset managers (customers that trade less than 15
times per year). “Last year we were only first learning of the day-trading
phenomenon. Now we are finding that semi-professional traders continue to
flourish, surpassing many of the other types of traders and defining their
industry,” explains Butte.
An Emerging Presence
According to Butte’s study, the total number of on-line retail accounts
rose an estimated 48% in 2000, but the average number of trades per account
fell. Despite the fact that trade execution for self-directed asset managers
and active trader accounts was flat and down 37%, respectively, trades per
account rose 55% at the semi-professional level, said Butte. “Clearly not
everyone in this industry has slowed their trading. What could be considered
a relatively small community of day traders, has really emerged as a
powerful force in the on-line investing world,” said Butte.

Increasing Demand
As day traders become increasingly Internet savvy, they are playing a major
role in driving the competitive dynamics of on-line trading.
Butte discovered that although the number of technology
providers has remained the same, “first-mover” status has remained a
crucial competitive advantage. Therefore, Butte notes on-line developers are
constantly seeking new avenues of growth, specifically by creating updated
trading technologies. “Developers are faced with the challenge to move
beyond direct-access capabilities,” said Butte. “Previously traders simply
looked for fast, efficient execution. Now, as the traders’ demands
intensify, they are searching for better trading technology.”
Meeting the Challenge
Butte found the day traders’ demands were being met, in part, by “smart
order routing” capabilities – either with real-time or end-of- day
information. According to Butte, these systems assist traders by uncovering
trading patterns and helping the trader find the best method of execution.
“For example,” explained Butte, “when traders needed to test a technical
pattern, in the past they would have to wait until the end of the day to run
a list of the stocks meeting those criteria. The new systems can alert
traders as soon as stocks have met their criteria, and can even execute
trades automatically,” explained Butte.
Trends To Watch
Butte believes the on-line trading technology sector is headed for
consolidation over the next six to 12 months. “Traders need systems that can
handle their scale and increased trading capacity. The more advanced the
decision support tools, the more likely the traders will be to use the
service,” explained Butte. She also notes that the pressure to improve trade
execution and increase capacity could grow especially intense with the
implementation of full-scale decimalization and SuperSoes within the next
year or two. Butte predicts that the trend toward consolidation could spark
increased interest in this segment and perhaps push valuations higher.
