Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of TradeStation Group, Inc.

(“Monex”) in a transaction valued at approximately $411 million. Click here to learn how to join the action: www.rigrodskylong.com/news/TradeStationGroupInc-TRAD.

From the TRAD CEO

In designing and enhancing the TradeStation electronic trading platform, our objective was to surpass the passive information and execution tools provided by other trading platforms. Using our proprietary technology, EasyLanguage®, a cornerstone of TradeStation, we wanted to create an interactive trading assistant that allowed traders to harness the incredible power of their PCs to help them test, monitor and automate the execution of their trading strategies more quickly and effectively than ever before.

Now, the two unique advantages that have made the TradeStation platform an industry leader for over 10 years—the ability to historically test and automate custom trading strategies—are fully integrated with the unmatched speed of intelligent direct-access execution to all major ECNs, Exchanges and electronic futures markets in one easy-to-use interface. Once unattainable for most traders, automated trading is now a reality to all TradeStation Securities clients. TradeStation's Strategy Automation Engine makes it possible for traders to automatically monitor and execute dozens or even hundreds of custom strategies and markets—from the simplest to the most complex.

Since the June 2001 release of the TradeStation electronic platform, TradeStation Securities has been repeatedly rated the best online brokerage firm for active traders. If you are an active trader or a hedge fund trader, and have not yet experienced the power of TradeStation, we sincerely urge you to do so.

We thank our clients for their support.

Very truly yours,

Salomon Sredni, Chairman and CEO

I was doing some dd on this one. many of the insiders sold a bit less than a million shares.. in 2 months.. I will keep watch.

899800 shares to be exact.. from the 2 ceo.. cruzz williams and ralph..

i still think anything less than 10 dollars is a get.. the selling from ceo has stopped on august 14.. maybe they needed the money for something else.. i don't know .. i will try to find out ..

i might go long here; looks like U-turn is beginning! Go TRAD GO!

I think I might want to short it... But not at the moment, this thing may just head fake to 14 and then fall to the single digits... Just watching it for now, but I agree, it is a good short candidate once we can see how the market perceives the competitors. Also that Spooz will launch with a tool that allows you to convert your existing tradestation scripts over to spooz format... so the stuff you've written using theit proprietary format will not goto waste.

TRAD looked like a good short contender. A pity i didn't keep track of it. I did take it from 12 to about $13 but lost track of it since. Maybe TRAD could buy spzi and integrate it into their platform and brokerage business? There's a few investor's boards out there dedicated to traders using Tradestation: mention any competitors and they think you're nuts for even contemplating something different. Really it must be kind of like Microsoft vs Mac. I think spzi needs to get their prices down further--maybe $19.99 for 3 months then up to full price?

But this board is about TRAD: wanna short it? Or wait for the bulls to get back in control. TRAD: It's so TRAD it's the law.

Only a guess, but I believe the new contender to beat out Tradestation will be SpoozToolz (www.spooz.com). May the best product win...
