Announcing the Release of TradeStation 7

Dear Valued TradeStation User,

It's finally here!  We are pleased to announce that the launch of
TradeStation 7, the next generation of TradeStation's award-winning
electronic trading platform for active and institutional traders, will begin
February 28, 2003.  TradeStation 7 is the result of over $7 million of
product development expense and nearly two years of work. View the press
release regarding the launch of TradeStation 7 issued Tuesday, February 25,
2003.

Structured Rollout of TradeStation 7 to Existing TradeStation 6 Users
With more than 10,000 existing brokerage clients and subscribers,
TradeStation Securities (Member NASD, SIPC & NFA) and TradeStation
Technologies are planning a structured rollout of TradeStation 7 which will
take place throughout the next several weeks to help ensure a smooth upgrade
process for all platform users.  Sometime within the next several weeks, you
will be automatically prompted to upgrade when you log on to TradeStation 6.
Please rest assured that we will work diligently to upgrade as many users as
possible each week.  We appreciate your patience during this process.

Although you have the option to continue using TradeStation 6 even after you
have been prompted to upgrade, you will not be able to enjoy the many
benefits of TradeStation 7 unless you upgrade. A detailed description of the
new features, functions and enhancements in TradeStation 7 is available at

New Lower Commissions beginning March 31, 2003
TradeStation Securities is pleased to announce new lower brokerage
commissions effective March 31, 2003 for futures and stock options.  You do
not need to have upgraded to TradeStation 7 before March 31, 2003 in order
to receive this new commission structure.

Stocks (per order) - First 500 shares will be $1.20 per 100 shares, and $.60
for each 100     shares over 500.
Stock Options - $1.20 per contract

If you are a brokerage client of TradeStation Securities on the current

commission rates listed above effective March 31, 2003.  There is nothing
