IRVINE, CALIF., March 20, 2006 – Online Trading Academy(TM) today announced the completion of phase two of
the strategic initiative to develop and deliver financial educational web content for TotalView®, NASDAQ's
premier market data product. Beginning next week, NASDAQ's TotalView® content will be delivered through Online
Trading Academy's live trading center curriculum and the NasdaqTrader.com web site.
NASDAQ TotalView is the best source of NASDAQ order information available, showing every quote and order in
the NASDAQ Market Center at every price level. TotalView offers greater overall market transparency and 100
percent more liquidity than NASDAQ's legacy Level II within five cents of the inside market. TotalView provides
the best information available to discover more trading opportunities. TotalView also supplies enhanced content
regarding NASDAQ's Opening and Closing Crosses. This helps traders maintain their positions by more accurately
gauging true buy and sell interest. TotalView content will include a Flash Media presentation of TotalView and
tactics for its use.
Adding to the expert financial training and insight delivered about TotalView by Online Trading Academy’s
expert instructors, the financial education provider has successfully produced another multi-media training
version for NASDAQ clients to use in honing their financial trading skills. The new version features enhanced
comparisons of TotalView in contrast to the legacy Level II, revealing more detailed Market Maker behaviors, and
integrating TotalView with Technical Analysis and Indication. These additional educational materials demonstrate
with exceptional clarity, the benefits and importance of trading with TotalView.
“NASDAQ recognizes the value of offering high quality education and training services to help their clients
get the most out of the data they use,” said Eyal Shahar, president, Online Trading Academy. “Our financial
education and highly successful training courses give our graduates an advantage in building successful stock
trading portfolios. Online Trading Academy training materials offer insight into the systems and methods behind
building long-term, sustainable trading success.”
Online multi-media video feeds developed and produced by Online Trading Academy are offered through
TotalView.NasdaqTrader.com. The training topics support Online Trading Academy’s mission to train and educate
those active traders, individuals and professionals.
In addition, Online Trading Academy will offer access to classroom and hands-on training sessions, as well as
one-day seminars. Following most of Online Trading Academy’s training sessions, the company provides ongoing
rights to re-take the training courses and view content on an unlimited basis.
“NASDAQ received praise and interest from our trading clients on the first version we co-developed for our
TotalView.NasdaqTrader.com website,” said Adena Friedman, Executive Vice President for Data Products and
Strategy. “We want TotalView traders to have access to the best, most timely and rich content on which to base
their trading activity. Given the significant growth in TotalView subscribership throughout 2005, it is important
for subscribers to have the tools to help understand all of its features. Plus, with Online Trading Academy’s
help, subscribers still using the legacy Level II product can better understand their exposure and advocate that
their data providers bring to market the tools that the next generation of traders will demand.”
Online Trading Academy’s training experience is unparalleled, offering a unique live trading experience in the
classroom, using the company’s own capital, at no risk to the student; exclusive course work developed from 150
man years of research and trading experience; and elite affiliations with leading financial firms such as
