TRACK DATA ANNOUNCES THE ADDITION OF
BLOOMBERG TRADEBOOK FOR TRADE EXECUTIONS
THROUGH ITS myTrack SERVICE
New York, NY - September 6, 2001 - Track Data Corporation
(Nasdaq-NMS: TRAC) today announced that it has added
Bloomberg TradeBook as another direct routing destination
for stock trades placed through myTrack, its Internet-based
online trading and market data service.
"It's all about trying to get the best possible execution for
every single trade," said Barry Hertz, Track Data Chairman
and CEO. "Direct access is all about the power to choose
where your trade is routed. That's why we're very pleased
to announce the addition of Bloomberg TradeBook. It is a
well established, well respected ECN, with excellent
liquidity. The more direct links we have to market makers
and ECNs, the better it is for our myTrack members."
Kim Bang, president of Bloomberg TradeBook stated, "We are
excited about the additional routing from Track Data. More
trades means more liquidity, which benefits everyone who uses
TradeBook. We are confident that myTrack members will be
pleased with the executions they receive on the stock trades
they route to us."
