Track Data’s TRACK ECN ADDS HLV CAPITAL AS SUBSCRIBER
BROOKLYN, NY—July 12, 2005—Track Data Corporation (NASDAQ: TRAC) today announced that its Track ECN (Market Participant ID: “TRAC”) has added HLV Capital as a new subscriber. The signup comes on the heels of Track’s new pricing policy, which allows traders to take away liquidity from its book for only 2.5 mils per share.
“The 2.5 mil takeout fee is key,” said Charlie Vaccaro, President, HLV Capital Inc. “We’re looking at substantial savings using Track ECN, as compared to paying 3 mils charged by Nasdaq and the other ECN’s.”
“The 2.5 mils per share takeout fee has been piquing interest among traders, which is helping to grow our subscriber base,” said Joe Schultz, Vice President of Track ECN. “We’re publicizing the new rates in our ‘Hit us first!’ advertising campaign. We are happy to welcome HLV Capital as a new subscriber.”
When you send your order directly, Track ECN will first sweep its book, charging you 2.5 mils per share for the liquidity you take. Then, if Track ECN needs to route out part or all of your order, the ECN will charge you 3 mils per share routed out.
